DBasia.news – Players who leave on a free transfer (contracts expire and can go free) are a problem for some clubs.
Manchester United is one of the teams that was threatened with losing players for free. Yes, the Red Devils was in a difficult situation when David de Gea was reluctant to extend the contract.
In the end, after tough negotiations, the Spanish national team goalkeeper agreed to extend the contract. David de Gea is under contract at the Red Devils until June 2023.
However, not all players make decisions like De Gea. Some players have not yet decided on their future even though the contract is at the end of its duration.
Here are five star-players who can leave on a free transfer on the 2020 summer transfer window:
1. Christian Eriksen
Christian Eriksen is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. The Danish player is known to have good play vision and accurate bait accuracy.
However, the service could not be felt threatened by Tottenham Hotspur next season. Because, until now, the 27-year-old player still does not want to extend the contract.
The Lilywhites have seduced a higher salary. However, Eriksen remained unmoved.
In the summer of 2019, Eriksen had said he wanted to try a new challenge. Reportedly, the former Ajax Amsterdam employee was attracted to Real Madrid. Also, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United have eyes to monitor the player’s situation.
2. Toby Alderweireld
Aside from Eriksen, Tottenham is also in danger of losing Toby Alderweireld. The 30-year-old defender can leave for free in the summer of 2020.
Toby Alderweireld was briefly linked with Manchester United during last season. However, the Red Devils failed to reach an agreement with Tottenham.
Until now, it is still unknown why Toby Alderweireld was reluctant to extend the contract. In fact, the Belgian player still gets the main place in the Tottenham defense.
3. Edinson Cavani
Edinson Cavani is one of the attackers who has a wealth of experience. Before defending Paris Saint-Germain, he had been a bang on Palermo and Napoli. Also, Cavani was sharp with the Uruguay national team.
Edinson Cavani has been defending PSG since 2013. It is believed to be one of the considerations the player has not agreed to sign a new contract.
PSG has already taken steps to anticipate if Cavani will leave. Les Parisiens can permanent Mauro Icardi at the end of the loan period.
4. Callum Hudson-Odoi
Callum Hudson-Odoi is considered one of the most talented players possessed by England. Playing from the wing, the 18-year-old player’s movements often make it difficult for opponents.
Currently, Callum Hudson-Odoi is facing a difficult situation at Chelsea. He did not get enough minutes to play under the tutelage of Frank Lampard. In fact, as a young player, Hudson-Odoi needs to get flying hours.
As a result, leave is one of the choices that can be taken. Interesting for the interested team, they can get Callum Hudson-Odoi for free at the 2020 summer transfer market.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has yet to make a clear decision. Defending Callum Hudson-Odoi could be the right choice if the appeal submitted by the Blues against the decision to register a newer player was rejected by FIFA.
5. Joel Matip
Liverpool has the chance to lose one of its defenders in the summer of 2020. That is because Joel Matip is still not willing to increase the duration of the contract.
In fact, Joel Matip is Virgil van Dijk’s duet friend in the backline. Last season, the combination of the two players made the Reds’ defense difficult to break. Not surprisingly, Liverpool won the Champions League title.
Based on reports from The Athletic, Liverpool is still working to make Joel Matip melt. However, the German player still hasn’t given the green light. Based on the Transfermarkt report, Matip’s price is not less than 35 million euros.
