Seven massive deals that could well be completed sooner rather than later.
Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
Projected value: £90m
Whilst the Real Madrid man has stated his intention to remain at the Bernabeu he may sing a different tune if Carlo Ancelotti opts to use in-form Spaniard Isco on a regular basis.

Man United and Chelsea are both said to be keen on the Welshman and a world record £90m fee has been banded about with some sources stating that Old Trafford keeper David de Gea may be used in a potential part-exchange deal.
Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund)
Projected value: £47m
German defender is one of the best in the business and whilst he has long been linked with a Westfalenstadion exit the fact that his side sits near the Bundesliga relegation zone, and seem unlikely to secure a Champions League berth for next term, would surely mean the 25 year old would be liable to leave Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal are said to be Hummels main suitors and Arsene Wenger may well be ready to fork out a massive sum for the former Bayern Munich man.
Koke (Atletico Madrid)
Projected value: £48m
Made a name for himself during Atletico Madrid’s title winning campaign last term but should Diego Simeone’s side fail to hit those heights then a Vicente Calderon exit seems entirely plausible.
Man City and Chelsea are both known to be keen on the cultured midfielder and both sides are well capable of meeting his hefty price-tag.
Edinson Cavani (PSG)
Projected value: £55m
Uruguayan is said to be unhappy with his role at the Parc des Princes and Arsenal are said to retain a long term interest in the former Napoli man.
Though both Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck have both made a real impact since joining the Gunners Wenger may see Cavani as a natural fit to replace one-dimensional forward Olivier Giroud in a central attacking role.
Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
Projected value: £40m
The Real Madrid has been in excellent form over the past 18 months but the French international is said to be unsettled at the Bernabeu due to his side’s summer push to sign Luis Suarez.
Though the Uruguayan opted to join Barcelona the former Lyon man is apparently wary of his long term future at the Spanish giants and may fear the signing of a big name replacement.
Arsenal and Liverpool are both admirers of the powerful forward.
Paul Pogba (Juventus)
Projected value: £60m
The former Man United man has been a huge hit since moving to Turin, playing a key role in his side’s back to back Serie A title triumphs, but there is a growing interest in the French international and if Massimiliano Allegri’s side fail to impress in the Champions League then Pogba may consider leaving Italy for pastures new.
Chelsea are reportedly Pogba’s chief suitors and even a £60m price-tag won’t scare off Roman Abramovich, the Blues owner more than capable of meeting that valuation.
Ross Barkley (Everton)
Projected value: £60m
The Toffees starlet is surely due to leave Goodison Park sooner or later as in all likelihood the England man will feel his career ambitions are unlikely to be met by Everton.
The 20 year old is already into his fifth season in the Everton first team set-up and it would be a major surprise if Barkley was still lining up for Roberto Martinez’s side in 2015/16. Man United and Chelsea would appear most likely to fork out the requisite sum for the midfielder.
Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
Projected value: £48m
Liverpool teenager has matured into a hugely effective attacking weapon and his side’s poor start to the season has only served to increase interest in the England man.
