5. Sergio Romero (Sampdoria)
Interested Clubs: Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal
The man who saved two Penalties against Netherlands in the FIFA World Cup 2014 and guided Argentina to the finals could be leaving Serie A at the end of this season. Romero was one of the best Keepers in the World Cup and was one of the shortlists for the Golden Glove.

It will be fascinating to see the tug of war between the Premier League giants for the signature of Argentina’s #1 stopper.

Interested Clubs: Liverpool, Tottenham
Yevhen Konoplyanka perhaps is destined to play in the Premier League. For the last 3 Transfer windows in a row, his name is linked with Liverpool and Tottenham and with every window his price drops further and further.
Looks like Liverpool and Tottenham were aware of Konoplyanka’s contract situation and were buying their time to sign the player when he was available on a free transfer. Konoplyanka is a crafty winger who has an eye for killer passes and long range shots.
Konoplyanka is certain to leave in the summer and how Dnipro would regret their decision of not letting Konoplyanka leave in the previous Transfer Windows. It’s a matter of who convinces Konoplyanka first and brings him to the Premier League.
3. Dani Alves (Barcelona)

Often called as the Rampaging Right-Back, Dani Alves has stated his desire to move away from camp Nou after his current contract expire sin the summer. Premier League clubs including Liverpool, United and Tottenham have been alerted with the news as these clubs have had a history of having flying right-back in their ranks.
Alves will bring pivotal Champions League experience with him and will be an asset for any side across Europe. Premier League giants will have to battle very hard to bring Alves to England as he will have plenty of suitors around Europe.
2. Luiz Adriano (Shakhter Donetsk)
Interested Clubs: Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham
The man who is giving Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi run for their money in this season’s Champions League by scoring 9 goals will be up for grabs. Adriano has made a name for himself in last 10-12 months and is still an unknown commodity.
Clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are readying their offers for the player and bring the fluent goal scorer to the Premier League. He will be a bit of gamble for all the clubs but if he pays off, returns will be amazing for the Premier League fans.
1. Sami Khedira (Real Madrid)
Interested Clubs: Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal
The stand-out player in among all those who are available to move on a free transfer ahead of the 2015-16 season. All the big clubs in the Premier League want the 27 year old mid-field player who can bring class and steel to any team.
Khedira has made up his mind to leave Real Madrid at the end of this season and Arsenal came close to signing him in the last Transfer Window and will push for his signature now. Kehdira’s wages will be on the higher side but Arsene Wenger will do all he can to land the German Mid-Field maestro.
Signing Khedira will not be a walk in the park for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal as Jose Mourinho, having worked with Khedira at Real Madrid might have a say in this dealing as well as Bayern Munich, who will be Khedira’s first preference if they come calling.
