15. Toni Kroos (Bayern Munich)
Toni Kroos has been the subject of increased speculation for months now as he has continued to stall on signing a new contract with Bayern Munich. The classy German playmaker has been a highly impressive member of this Bayern team, but could be another of the club’s big names ready to take on a new challenge this summer. Top clubs all around Europe have shown an interest in the 24-year-old, but again it is Manchester United‘s need for a long-term replacement for Paul Scholes that has seen them emerge as the leading contenders from England to snap him up. It remains to be seen exactly what van Gaal’s plans for this summer will be, but it has been suggested that a deal for Kroos could be struck before next season
14. Julian Draxler (Schalke)
After appearing to come close to joining Arsenal in January, Schalke starlet Julian Draxler will surely be on the Gunners’ radar again this summer as he continues to establish himself as one of the most promising young players in the world. The 20-year-old will no doubt be expensive, but a big move to the Premier League would certainly make him one of the talking points of the whole summer if it did happen.
13. Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint-Germain)
Another of several big-money signings that has not exactly paid off for Paris Saint-Germain, Ezequiel Lavezzi could be available this summer as the French giants look to rebuild their squad. The Argentine winger was one of the stand-out performers at his previous club Napoli, and he remains highly regarded in Serie A with a number of clubs there reportedly looking at him. Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea have also been linked with the 29-year-old, who managed 12 goals and 10 assists this season despite never truly hitting top form.
12. Nicolas Gaitan (Benfica)
Benfica have struggled to keep hold of many of their best players in recent times, and Argentine attacker Nicolas Gaitan looks like another big name who could be heading to a top club in the near future. The skillful wide-man has shown plenty of ability in providing good numbers of goals and assists, and looks ready to test himself in a more competitive league after helping Benfica to the title in Portugal this season. Liverpool and Manchester City currently look to be the main clubs in England battling it out for his signature, while Manchester United have also been linked with him on occasion.
11. Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)
Despite highly impressive loan spells at West Bromwich Albion and Everton over the last two seasons, Romelu Lukaku’s time at Chelsea looks likely to be over, with the young Belgian revealing that he hopes to put himself in the shop window at this summer’s World Cup. With the Blues close to making a major signing upfront with the £32m capture of Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid, Lukaku could continue to struggle to get the playing time he wants. Big names from abroad have been linked with the 21-year-old, and it seems likely that Chelsea will favour a move for him to leave the Premier League, though Everton could still try to sign him on a permanent deal, while Tottenham are also thought to be interested.
