World Cup 2018: 5 Players whose Club Football Future depends on their performance in the World Cup

The Football World Cup is around the corner and football fans from across the globe can't wait for the tournament to kick-start. World Cup is one tournament which catches the most attention amongst the Cricket crazy Indian public and this World Cup has proved to be no exception.

The World Cup in Football is an important tournament but it is the clubs which rule the roost in Football and good performance for the national team ultimately results in the players being picked by the top clubs in various leagues.

This year's club transfer market has already generated enormous interest from the clubs and with the World Cup, the interest is bound to increase. A number of big players are looking for a transfer away from their present club and their World Cup performance could play a crucial role in deciding where they go and for what price.

#1) Neymar

Neymar will be leading the Brazilians in their pursuit for the sixth World Cup triumph. Brazil has some awful memories of the 2014 tournament after they were demolished by an extremely strong German side at home and would be looking at their captain to provide some sort of inspiration to make a comeback.

Neymar was bought by PSG last year as world's most expensive player. He made his move from an extremely successful Barcelona to a Champions League Title aspiring Paris St Germain and from the look of things it doesn't seem to have been a great move as the Brazilian has had issues with teammates and the coach at PSG and is claimed to be unhappy.

A number of teams like Real Madrid and Premier League clubs like Manchester United among others would be interested in buying this special talent. His performance in the World Cup might go a long way in deciding the price that he is sold for and also the club to which he is sold for.

#2) Antonie Griezmann

The Atletico Madrid star is busy with his preparations for the World Cup along with his French teammates while the transfer market or the transfer rumour market is buzzing with his name. His name will be one of the names to watch out in the transfer market.

Griezmann has been an important part of the Atletico Madrid side but Barcelona have been linked with the Frenchman for some time now and in a presser ahead of France's opening World Cup game against Austria he had claimed to have made a decision regarding his future.

Barcelona and some of the Premier League clubs may be vying for his inclusion in their squad if he chooses to move and a World Cup triumph would definitely increase his bargaining ability with the clubs.

#3) Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard is one of the best Midfielders in the game at present. He has the ability to play both the roles of attacking Midfielder as well as the role of a wide midfielder. He has the knack of scoring some important goals and can be a great addition to any side.

Hazard is presently with the Belgian squad preparing for the World Cup and has remained non-committal about his future with the Blues. He has decided to keep his cards close to his chest until the name of Chelsea's new boss is announced.

Real Madrid and Manchester City have already expressed their interest in securing his service and this transfer window might be the right time for these teams to get him in their fold.

#4) Alisson Becker

This transfer market promises to be a one for the goalkeepers. A number of teams are looking for goalkeepers and quality goalkeepers from across the globe are in great demand in the transfer window.

Becker is the first choice goalkeeper for the Brazilian side and he will be aided by an experienced defence of Brazil. He is one of the best upcoming goalkeepers in the world and he is expected to play a huge role in furthering Brazil's World Cup chances

Liverpool and Real Madrid are both desperately looking at the transfer window to secure the services of a quality goalkeeper and an impressive performance by Becker might just make these clubs go after him in the transfer window.

#5) Toby Alderweireld

Alderweireld is another Belgian player who will be in heavy demand in the transfer market this year. He is presently training for the World Cup with the Belgium squad and will be a player to watch out both in the World Cup as well as in the Transfer market.

Manchester United is one team which has been extremely active in the Transfer window so far. They have already claimed to have made two signings and are in pursuit for a number of other players as well.

United is looking to revamp their defence and Alderweireld will be an ideal addition to their team. He has the ability to play both the role of Fullback as well as Rightback. His performance in the World Cup will help Manchester United to decide on bidding for the defender.
