Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea)
The Chelsea full-back has been a key part of the Mourinho machine that has claimed the Capital One Cup, and looks set to clinch the Premier League title. Not only has Ivanovic been reliable at the back, but he is also adding his name to the scoresheet on plenty of occasions.
But the 31-year-old is being linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid, as well as the Blues’ Champions League conquerors PSG, with both sides being able to offer a longer deal than the one-year extensions that the London club usually award their squad members that are in their 30s.
Stefan Jovetic (Manchester City)
Jovetic was so devastated to become fourth-choice striker at Manchester City, behind Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, and the newly signed Wilfried Bony, that he revealed that his future may lie elsewhere. The decision to bring the former Swansea striker Bony to the Etihad, meant that the Montenegrin was omitted from the club’s Champions League squad.
With Pellegrini also playing just one striker in many games this season, his opportunities have been limited, and it is likely that the talented frontman may seek a fresh start in the near future.
