#3 Jorginho

Changes are on the horizon at Chelsea, with manager Thomas Tuchel keen to make improvements to what is already an excellent squad.

Midfielder Jorginho, who has been linked with a move away from Chelsea for some time now, could leave Stamford Bridge this summer. The Italy international was a key player at the club after the arrival of Tuchel. Jorginho's experience, passing and composure were crucial in Chelsea winning the Champions League.

However, Jorginho's time with the Blues could be coming to an end. The 29-year-old, who made 23 league starts in 2020-21, is a potential target for clubs like Juventus, Barcelona and his former club Napoli.


#2 Manuel Locatelli

It would not be surprising to see Manuel Locatelli leave Sassuolo this summer, especially after the start he has had to his Euro 2020 campaign.

The Italy international has been exceptional for his country during the first two group games in the tournament. He scored two goals in Italy's second game against Switzerland. So Sassuolo could be set to earn a hefty profit if rumours that big clubs are interested in signing Locatelli turn out to be true.

Strong defensively and possessing good passing and dribbling ability, Locatelli made 32 starts in the Serie A for Sassuolo this season, scoring four goals and providing two assists. Juventus and Manchester City have been linked with him for a long time now, and a move could happen after the Euros.


#1 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has been persistently linked with a move away from Manchester United for some time now. This summer could be the right time for him to depart the club.

Pogba's Manchester United contract expires next summer, and there have been no indications that the midfielder wants to sign a new deal. The France international was in excellent form for his country during their Euro 2020 game against Germany, so Manchester United could look to cash in on their asset.

Pogba's spell in England has been indifferent, to say the least. His talent is undeniable, but the 28-year old has frustrated fans due to his inconsistent performances. Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are tracking the midfielder.
