Here is an early look at five top class players who are out of contract this summer.
1) John Terry
After 15 years at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s captain, leader, legend has had a question mark firmly placed over his future in west London.
John Terry has played almost 600 games for the Blues over the years and the club have stuck by him through thick and thin. However, his contract is up in the summer and it remains unclear whether or not he will be offered a new deal.
2) Robert Lewandsowski
The Poland international is widely expected to join Bayern Munich when the time comes but he is free to discuss a move away in the new year. After 36 goals in 49 games last year, Lewandowski has scored nine in nine this season.
3) Andrea Pirlo
The Italian is one of the best passers in world football and it seems ludicrous that this is even being considered. The Juventus midfielder’s deal runs out in the summer and he has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Real Madrid.
4) Xabi Alonso
Which takes us onto current Madrid pass-master Xabi Alonso. The former Liverpool man has been linked with a switch back to the Premier League as Carlo Ancelotti looks to strengthen his midriff.
5) Victor Valdes
The Barcelona shot-stopper will be plying his trade elsewhere next season, but where is another question.
