With the approach of each transfer period - whether summer or winter - the movement of clubs seeking to strengthen their ranks in all lines is active, but the attention is focused more on those players whose contracts are approaching their end.
We are now a few days away from opening the winter transfer window for 2025, during which football fans will await the fate of many stars who are active in European stadiums, and whose contracts expire at the end of the 2024-2025 season.
This means that these stars will be able to negotiate and agree with other clubs without referring to the management of their current clubs, and move in a free transfer deal in the summer of 2025.
: And here is a list of 10 players whose contracts expire at the end of the current season
English Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
The file of renewing Arnold's contract is considered one of the real challenges for Liverpool management, as he stipulated obtaining the same salary as his colleague Mohamed Salah in order to extend, otherwise he will leave Anfield Stadium.
German Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich)
Bayern Munich management has entered into negotiations with Sane's agent to extend his contract, but with a lower salary than the one he receives in his current contract.
Egyptian Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
According to English reports, the issue of Salah staying with Liverpool has already been decided, and all that remains is the official announcement by the club or the player.
Canadian Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich)
It seems that the relationship between Bayern Munich management and the agent of the Canadian international is not at its best, and this may cause the negotiations to slow down and perhaps fail.
German Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich)
The German club wants to keep one of the most important midfielders in Europe, but with a lower salary than he receives now, which seems difficult from a practical point of view.
Canadian Jonathan David (Lille)
The Canadian striker has stolen the spotlight this season, due to his prolific scoring numbers, and has become eligible to wear the shirt of the major teams in Europe
South Korean Heung-Min Son (Tottenham Hotspur)
It can be said that Son is the least dangerous player for his club on this list, considering that Tottenham's management has the authority to extend the contract for another season.
Belgian Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
De Bruyne was close to leaving Manchester City last summer and moving to the Saudi League, but he decided to stay in the end.
German Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen)
It is likely that the future of the German defender will be away from Bayer Leverkusen, especially since Bayern Munich and Barcelona are competing fiercely to obtain his services
Dutch Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
Van Dijk has not hidden his desire to stay with Liverpool, and accordingly, a general state of optimism prevails regarding the negotiations between the two parties.
Currently everyone is calm, and it does not seem that either party is rushing the other to sign a new contract.
