1) Arturo Vidal to Arsenal
Recent reports claimed Arturo Vidal would be clear to join Arsenal after this summer’s Copa America. Unless Chile manage to go all the way to the final, we should be hearing some official confirmation soon, with sources in South America suggesting this move is all but done.
2) Morgan Schneiderlin to Arsenal
With Southampton closing in on a replacement signing, it could also be good news for Arsenal in their pursuit of Morgan Schneiderlin, who has long been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
3) Nathaniel Clyne to Liverpool
Although Liverpool have failed with an initial £10m bid to sign Southampton right-back Nathaniel Clyne, their action suggests another bid could be imminent, and surely the Saints don’t stand much of a chance of keeping the in-form England man.
4) Nicolas Otamendi to Manchester United
The player wants the move and some reports suggest things are moving quickly, it seems ever more likely that Manchester United will sign Valencia defender Nicolas Otamendi after seemingly missing out on Mats Hummels.
5) Christian Benteke to Liverpool
With his £32.5m release clause announced, Christian Benteke is surely nearing an exit from Aston Villa, with some reports claiming Liverpool will bid for the Belgian front-man after the FA Cup final.
6) Theo Walcott to Liverpool
Another player whose future will be resolved after tomorrow’s game at Wembley, Theo Walcott is set for new talks over an Arsenal contract, though Liverpool will be waiting in the wings if he does decide to move on.
7) James Milner to Liverpool
Yet another transfer that involves Liverpool, James Milner will either be joining the Reds or not as he mulls over Manchester City’s latest contract offer, with a decision sure to come before long.
8) Sami Khedira to Juventus
After reports of undergoing a medical in Turin, Sami Khedira looks to have chosen Juventus as his next club after snubbing the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
9) Dani Alves to Manchester United
With Clyne looking like going to Liverpool, Manchester United are sure to up their interest in Barcelona right-back Dani Alves, who looks set to leave the club at the end of the season, which culminates with their Champions League final against Juventus on the 6th of June.
10) Paul Pogba to Barcelona
After holding talks with Barcelona, it looks like Paul Pogba’s next move is increasingly likely to be to the Nou Camp, where he could be the second highest earner behind Lionel Messi.
