Igor Akinfeev – CSKA Moscow
No longer a hot young prospect at the age of 28, the highly-rated stopper has resisted a move away from Russia for years, but as he nears the end of his contract this summer, a few good performances could prompt a lucrative offer to come from one of Europe’s top leagues. Arsenal had been linked with him in the past, as had Manchester United, but Italy would appear to be his most likely destination.
Alan Dzagoev – CSKA Moscow
The diminutive playmaker remains one of the most sought after stars in Europe and with the World Cup coming up an offer from a top European side is likely. Manchester United are still fans, as are Real Madrid, but CSKA won’t let him go without a fight and will demand a high fee to release him.
Aleksandr Kokorin – Dynamo Moscow
The big forward has been making a name for himself as a handful in Russia and has such been attracting interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Swansea City. However, he will most likely want to go somewhere able to offer him European football.
