Here are the five top players available for a possible move in the summer 2024 transfer window as club football fully commences.
With the 2024 summer transfer window still open, many players who have fallen out of favour at their current clubs are hoping for moves that could reignite their careers.
As the new season progresses, clubs are finalizing their squads, leaving some players in search of a fresh start.
This could lead to a frantic scramble in the coming weeks, with potential transfers, loans, or even contract terminations on the horizon.
The situations of players like Harry Kane at Bayern Munich, Ilkay Gundogan after his departure from Barcelona, and Kieran Trippier’s possible exit from Newcastle United are just a few examples of the uncertainties in the market.
The next few weeks will be crucial for these players and their clubs as they navigate the transfer market. Here are a few players who are hoping there’s still time to secure a move this summer:
Kepa Arrizabalaga
Kepa Arrizabalaga’s £72 million move to Chelsea in 2018 now stands as a glaring example of the club’s poor investment. His career has been marred by injuries, inconsistent performances, and an unsuccessful loan stint at Real Madrid, leaving him as a forgotten figure at Stamford Bridge.
His high wages make a permanent transfer difficult, but a loan move to Bournemouth could offer him a chance to revive his career, a stark contrast to his once record-breaking status.
Ben Chilwell transfer
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was blunt about Ben Chilwell’s future when recently asked, stating, “It’s probably better for him to leave and get minutes.”
This statement all but confirms that Chilwell’s time at Chelsea is coming to an end, with the Blues’ boss expressing that the former Leicester City man doesn’t fit into his tactical plans.
Newcastle United has been mentioned as a possible destination, but if the England international, who was made vice-captain last summer, wants to avoid a season on the bench, a move will need to happen quickly.
Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich)
Before Michael Olise’s arrival from Crystal Palace, Bayern Munich already had a surplus of wide attackers. Now, it seems that Kingsley Coman is deemed surplus to requirements. Despite being the player who scored the winning goal in the 2020 Champions League final, Coman, at 28, still has a lot to offer. Barcelona is reportedly considering a loan move for the French international, who could find a new home in La Liga.
Ansu Fati transfer
Once a rising star at Barcelona, Ansu Fati’s career has been plagued by injuries since his breakout at 16. After a disappointing loan spell at Brighton, Barcelona may consider offloading him to alleviate their financial burden. Although a difficult decision, a fresh start could help Fati revive his stalling career and finally reach the potential that was once so highly anticipated.
Romelu Lukaku transfer 2024
Romelu Lukaku’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain, with Napoli emerging as a potential destination. His return to Stamford Bridge in 2021 has not gone as planned, leading to loan spells at Inter Milan and Roma.
Chelsea appears reluctant to reintegrate Lukaku into the squad, and reports are hinting at a possible agreement between Napoli and the Blues which could see the Belgian complete a transfer out of London in the 2024 summer window.
