14. Isco to Chelsea
Spanish midfielder Isco was a strong target for Chelsea in the January transfer window, but he opted instead to sign a new contract with Malaga. In reality though, what that exercise was all about was getting the release clause in the young playmaker’s contract increase to maximise his value.
Isco is likely to leave Malaga in the summer and Chelsea are expected to beat Barcelona and Real Madrid to his signature with both Spanish giants having expressed interest in one of the most talented youngsters in La Liga.
His new contract means that the transfer fee to activate his release clause now stands at £31million, but for that price Chelsea will be getting one of Europe’s most impressive midfield talents and one who has unlimited potential too.
13. Angel Di Maria to Manchester United
A star of the Real Madrid team, Argentine international wideman Angel Di Maria is expected to be one of the players sold in the summer following a dismal season in La Liga.
The former Benfica player is understood to have been touted around Europe’s biggest club’s and particularly to Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, two club’s who would have no qualms in paying the asking price.
With doubts about the long-term future of Nani at Old Trafford, Di Maria would offer the perfect replacement and would represent decent value at around £20million given Real Madrid’s intention on selling.
