A host of Premier League names could be on the move for nothing in the summer with over 70 players approaching the end of their contracts. A range of stars could be available, from exciting young talents to seasoned pros, and they will be ripe for managers to pick and choose on bargain deals.
Three of the biggest standouts on the list are Youri Tielemans, Wilfried Zaha and Ilkay Gundogan. The trio would improve the majority of teams around the world and are already, understandably, the subject of intense speculation.
The Belgian has been heavily linked with both Newcastle and Arsenal while the Crystal Palace man has been tipped to join Cristiano Ronaldo in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Gundogan appears to have emerged as one of Barcelona’s top targets as the Spanish giants look to keep prices down to comply with financial fairplay regulations.
A variety of other faces are likely to be on the move, however, including a substantial amount of experienced professionals. James Milner’s time at Liverpool is likely to come to an end this summer while Roberto Firmino has already confirmed he will head off for a new challenge.
Former Manchester United centre-back partnership Jonny Evans and Phil Jones can link up again at a new club with both players nearing the end of their deals and Ashley Young could join them if he decides to leave Aston Villa.

However, not everyone on the list may end up leaving their current clubs with some open to extended stays. David de Gea and N’Golo Kante may be among this number with the duo reportedly close to signing extensions with Manchester United and Chelsea respectively.
Here Express Sport has compiled the full list, according to transfermarkt, as managers and sporting directors start to get thinking on their summer players.
