8 star players who will be free to transfer next season

.The transfer market next summer has a long way to go again. It's too early to talk about market players. Moreover, the Corona pandemic has made European clubs hit by a financial crisis. The crisis has forced many clubs to cut their spending budgets in order to secure their balance sheet.

Even though the Corona pandemic has hampered various football activities, the players' contracts are still valid accordingly. This is of course a burden on the club's finances. In addition, this pandemic is likely to pose a threat to players whose contracts will expire.

This situation depends on club policy. However, if they fail to sell players in the January 2021 transfer market, they must let their players leave on a free transfer. There are some top players whose contracts will expire next season.

Here are the players who will be free to transfer in the summer of 2021.

1. Gianluigi Donnarumma

Donnarumma's talent as an excellent goalkeeper has been recognized by many. Just 21 years old, Gigi Donnarumma has made over 200 appearances for AC Milan. Seeing this important role, AC Milan has also offered a new contract. However, the demand for wages worth 6 million euros per year is an obstacle because it is considered too high for AC Milan's management.

Hm, will there be another drama with super agent Mino Raiola?

2. Sergio Ramos

One of the hottest rumors regarding the player's contract is Sergio Ramos. The player from Andalusia is currently experiencing a deadlock in a matter of contract extension with Real Madrid. Los Blancos have a rule that they will only provide 1-year contracts for players over 30 years. However, Ramos wants a 2-year contract.

Ramos' role in Madrid is very crucial. He is strong in defense but also good at helping attacks. Although he often uses unclean methods, he does it to give his best for Madrid. Ramos once stated that he did not want to defend any other team besides Madrid. When it comes to scoring goals, he has scored 100 goals against opponents.

The latest news says Madrid has agreed to fulfill a 2-year contract for Ramos. Now Madrid and Ramos are renegotiating the salary issue.

Don't let Madrid throw away its legend again.

3. Luka Modric

Luka Modric was in the same situation as Ramos. His 35-year-old age has made Madrid hesitant to extend his contract. However, looking at his performance this season, Modric has shown that age is not a barrier for him. Of course, it would be a mistake if Madrid let himself go at the end of June.

Modric himself has expressed his desire to stay in the team and acknowledged his willingness to reduce wages. Since being brought in from England, Modric has played 355 matches and contributed to the success of 4 Champions League titles, 2 La Liga titles, and others.

4. Jerome Boateng

After winning the treble winner with Hansi Flick, Boateng opened up opportunities to last longer at the Alianz Arena. The 32-year-old player also has plans if his contract is not extended. He plans to return to Berlin to strengthen the club in his hometown, Hertha Berlin. Boateng also opened up opportunities to continue his career in Major League Soccer.

Whatever Boateng has planned, Munich looks more eager to sell himself in the winter transfer market. Since joining in 2011 from Manchester City, Boateng has won 8 Bundesliga titles, 2 Champions League trophies and various other titles.

5. David Alaba

Unlike Boateng, Bayern Munich have repeatedly offered Alaba a new contract, but the Austrian defender has yet to agree to the contract. The stagnation of the negotiation process was indicated by the mismatch of Alaba's salary request with the one offered by Munich's management.

The German giant wants to retain Alaba and offers a new 5-year contract with a salary of 15 million euros plus a number of bonuses. However, the 28-year-old wants 18 million euros in wages with a number of bonuses. This is certainly burdensome for Munich in the midst of the corona pandemic situation.

If the negotiation process continues to stall, Munich will lose Alaba in the summer. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus and a number of EPL clubs have been waiting for the opportunity to get Alaba for free.

6. Mesut Ozil

The romance between Ozil and Arsenal is coming to an end. According to the latest news, Arsenal are trying to terminate Ozil's contract as soon as possible in order to reduce his large salary burden. However, both the player and the agent have always rejected these negotiations.

The stagnation of the negotiation process is certainly very burdensome for Arsenal amid the pandemic. Especially seeing the fact that Ozil was not registered in the Arsenal squad this season. Yes, even though Arsenal seem to need a reliable creator in midfield but they prefer to spend 350,000 euros per week.

The best option for Arsenal is to sell Mesut Ozil in the upcoming transfer market. Of course it also depends on the player's decision. Major League Soccer might be an attractive destination for Ozil.

Whatever it is, Ozil has nothing to lose in his old age situation.

7. Lionel Messi

Before resigning, Bartomeu did his last job very well, namely being able to force Messi to stay at Camp Nou. However, that does not change the fact that Messi can still leave in the summer on a free transfer

According to Transfermark, Messi's tenure will end soon on June 30, 2021. That means, in January 2021 the Argentine striker is free to negotiate with any team (Bosman Rule's), one of which is Manchester City.

With the Catalan club, Messi's contributions and achievements are not in doubt. He has given all the titles that have been followed by Barcelona. Yes, Los Cules (maybe) will lose his idol, he is always affixed with the label 'Faithful, there are many conditions' by its defenders in Indonesia.

8. Memphis Depay

Memphis Depay continues to create traction with his catchy statements. The former United player has never denied that his name has been linked to many European clubs. Indeed, Depay came close to joining Barcelona in the player market last summer had Dembele not refused to move to Manchester United.

Now, the opportunity is open again to play at the Catalan Giant club. Plus the fact that Messi is still reluctant to discuss his contract with Barcelona, ​​Depay will be the best option as a substitute for the superstar.

His contract will expire in June 2021, but Depay hopes to leave Lyon in the winter transfer market. At least binding a contract agreement with one of the interested clubs by utilizing Bosman rules.

The stars above are in their final years. Apart from them, there are many star players who are negotiating to extend their contracts with their respective teams.

Sergio Aguero, for example, is currently in the process of negotiating a new contract with Manchester City. It is unlikely that you will expect Kun Aguero to leave the Etihad Stadium given his status as the club's legendary striker.

In addition, there are names such as Giorginio Wijnaldum, Angel Di Maria, Hakan Calhanoglu and several other star players whose contract negotiations are at a standstill with their respective clubs.
