2022-12-31T18:51:34.104Z


The summer transfer window opens these doors this Sunday, January 1, 2023. For the occasion, the Figaro sports department gives you its eleven players at the end of their contract.


The goalkeeper

At the goalkeeper, our choice fell on

David de Gea

(32 years old).

Despite Manchester United's mixed results, the Spanish goalkeeper overall had a good first half of the season, making some magnificent and decisive saves and keeping a clean sheet five times in fourteen Premier League matches.

His contract includes an optional extra year but it is not certain that Erik ten Hag wants to keep it.

It could thus change air this summer.

If this were to be the case, there is no doubt that the suitors will not be lacking.

The defenders

Our rearguard has four elements.

In the axis, we opted for a hinge composed of

Evan Ndicka

(23 years old) and

Milan Skriniar

(27 years old).

Sparkling with Eintracht Frankfurt for several seasons, the French should not last forever in the Bundesliga.

He would be followed by several big European teams and the British press - the Daily Express - the announcement even very close to Arsenal.

The Slovak, for his part, would still be in the small papers of Paris SG who could go on the offensive at the start of the year to secure his services, either this winter for a good sum, or for this summer.

However, Inter Milan would not part with their captain and should be active to extend it.

On the left side of the defense, we selected

Raphaël Guerreiro

(29 years old).

The Portuguese is unlikely to continue his adventure at Borussia Dortmund once his contract is over.

And SL Benfica would think of him to replace Alex Grimaldo who should leave the Eagles this summer, according to information from journalist Rudy Galetti.

On the right, we find a player from FC Barcelona:

Sergi Roberto

(30 years old).

Rather in difficulty in Catalonia, the Spaniard is not certain to be offered a new extension by the end of the 2022-2023 financial year and could now be looking for a base for next season.

Midfielders

N'Golo Kanté

(31) is in our midfield, in a sentry position.

The Frenchman, still injured, could well leave Chelsea this summer after seven years of good and loyal service.

He is announced close to FC Barcelona with whom he would like, according to

Sport

, to sign a pre-contract in January.

The 2018 World Champion is accompanied by two quality torchbearers:

Luka Modric

(37) and

Ilkay Gündogan

(32 years old).

The Croatian, still as good with Real Madrid as with Croatia despite the weight of the years, could well extend his contract with the White House once again.

The German, on the other hand, could be tempted to join FC Barcelona who have been eyeing him for several weeks, as

Sport

revealed .

attackers

The attack of our typical team of free players is enough to make your mouth water.

In support of the two attackers, we have the recent world champion

Lionel Messi

(35 years old).

At the end of the contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the seven-time winner of the Ballon d'Or should probably extend for a season, according to the revelations revealed by

Le Parisien

.

But beware, in football, the reversals of situation are legion.

At the forefront, we find a French duo composed of

Karim Benzema

(35 years old) and

Olivier Giroud

(36 years).

Nothing indicates that the last Ballon d'Or wants to change air next summer;

he is expected to continue at least one more season at Real Madrid.

To the delight of the Merengues.

The 2018 world champion should also extend his contract.

La Gazzetta dello Sport

even indicated at the end of October that its extension could take place in the first weeks of 2023.
