World-class players at a lower cost?
It is the dream of all European sports directors.
A dream that could come true next year.
In fact, many major players might cost nothing in transfer fees at all!
Regarding the signing bonuses, it is something else ... Still, Leo Messi, Sergio Ramos or David Alaba will end of contract next June.
Three headliners to find in our eleven free players in 2021. The list is so prestigious that boys like Jordan Amavi, Julian Draxler, Luka Modric, Olivier Giroud or Edinson Cavani (an optional second year at MU) do not are not part of it ...
Goalkeeper
Young and experienced at the same time, talented too?
This is the CV of
Gianluigi Donnarumma
(21), the goalkeeper for the Italian national team (20 caps) and AC Milan (214 matches).
A profile that can only appeal to the four corners of Europe… The foal of Mino Raiola has often been announced to start in the past.
His name was, for example, mentioned at PSG.
The tendency is nevertheless rather to an extension to San Siro.
To see if Paulo Maldini and company will achieve their ends in time ... Otherwise, Donnarumma will not lack suitors.
Defenders
Beautiful people in our line of four.
Starting with
Sergio Ramos
, the captain, the boss of Real Madrid.
In our eleven, he finds a right-back position he knew in his early days.
One thing is certain: at 34, the Spain international is still on top.
Recently scorer of his 100th goal with Casa Blanca, he is above all a charismatic leader.
Without him, Real is not the same.
At the hinge, two players used to playing side by side, the Bavarians
Jerome Boateng
(32) and
David Alaba
(28).
They won everything with Bayern.
When to look elsewhere?
The negotiations were in any case officially broken with the entourage of the second named.
However, we have already seen more surprising twists and turns in football ... On the left, a Parisian,
Juan Bernat
.
Currently in the infirmary, the 27-year-old Spanish international could fit into the great tradition of players who leave Paris Saint-Germain free, after Adrien Rabiot, Thiago Silva or Edinson Cavani.
Spoiler: he is not the only resident of Camp des Loges in our dream eleven of free players in June 2021 ...
Environments
We offer you a resolutely attacking midfielder, with the (very) versatile
Georginio Wijnaldum
(29 years old, 30 November 11) at the low end of our diamond.
At 29, the Liverpool player is at a crossroads.
His name was mentioned in Barcelona last summer, where he could have found his former coach at the Oranje, Ronald Koeman.
PSG are obviously in the loop.
But Leonardo should already focus on the
Angel Di Maria
(32) file.
Because the Argentine international is also one of the players at the end of the contract.
"I want to finish my European career in Paris, but it does not depend only on me, on the club too," he said on Saturday, on
Canal +
.
The ball in the court of "Leo".
At 27, Marseille world champion
Florian Thauvin
is also awaiting a sign from his management.
Our playmaker is none other than
Lionel Messi
.
The 35-year-old Argentinian six-time Golden Ball went out of his way to leave Barca this summer, to no avail.
To see if the departure of President Bartomeu will change the situation.
Otherwise, City and Pep Guardiola could return to the charge ...
Forwards
Of course, he is often injured.
And he is still squatting in the Manchester City infirmary at the moment.
But
Sergio Aguero
remains one of the best center-forward in the world, at 32.
His statistics are dizzy: 41 goals in 97 selections with Argentina and 255 in 373 matches under the colors of the Citizens.
At his side, rather than the world champion Olivier Giroud (32 years old, Chelsea), Arkadiusz Milik (26 years old, Naples), Moussa Marega (29 years old, Porto), Diego Costa (32 years old, Atlético) or even Edi Cavani ( 33 years old, MU), the Lyonnais
Memphis Depay
.
Very close to joining FC Barcelona last summer, the 26-year-old Dutch international is more than ever in the sights of the Catalan club for next winter after the injury of the nugget Ansu Fati.
The Catalan club could also wait until the summer of 2021. Or ... another club could try to make its head spin.
PSG, with Neymar and Kylian Mbappé who regularly appear alongside him on social networks?
And also
: Stéphane Ruffier - Elseid Hysaj, Jordan Amavi, Mamadou Sakho, Kenny Lala, Damien Da Silva, Eric Garcia - Hakan Calhanoglu, Julian Draxler, Javi Martínez, Marten de Roon, Otavio, Giovanni Reyna, Riqui Puig, Luka Modric, Sami Khedira, Mesut Özil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Olivier Giroud, Arkadiusz Milik, Edinson Cavani, Michail Antonio, Lucas Vázquez, Stevan Jovetic, Islam Slimani, Kevin Gameiro…
