1) Raheem Sterling:
Current Club: Liverpool FC (EPL)
Interested Club: Juventus (Serie A)
(Sterling for Liverpool)
The England national made a lot speculations after rejecting a new deal from Liverpool. Since then, he has been linked to many big clubs for a possible transfer. At just 20 years, he is a promising youngster and performs above his standard. He has netted 7 goals this season for the Red's and assisted 7.
The Italian giants are expected to shell out €70 million as they look to land the Liverpool star.

Again an England international. Austin has been in good form this season, scoring 14 goals and assisting in 4 others. His current side, Queens Park Rangers, stand 19th in the league table and on the brink of relegation. The 25 year old will fancy to stay in premier league rather than going back to second division, if at all QPR are relegated. Although their relegation will provide a boost for other clubs to sign him.
3) Isco:
Current Club: Real Madrid (La Liga)
Interested Clubs: Arsenal (EPL), Manchester City(EPL)

The Spanish mid-fielder was acquired by Real Madrid last season for €30 million. In spite of continuing to score regularly when featured, Isco received limited opportunities in the first team due to the 4–3–3 formation not being suited for his style, which Carlo Ancelotti followed. Although clubs being interested, his move looks a bit less possible. Manchester City are planning a €45 million bid for him this summer as they look to replace David Silva.
4) Carlos Bacca:
Current Club: Sevilla (La Liga)
Interested Club: AC Milan (Serie A)
(Bacca playing for Sevilla)
The prolific attacker has been linked with a move to the San Siro side, but he has stressed that his future lies in the hands of Sevilla. After the recent news of Milan being taken over by Thai investor, he may possibly be the first big transfer. The Colombian international has scored 17 goals in 32 La Liga appearances for the Europa League defending champs.
5) Memphis Depay:
Current Club: PSV Eindhoven (Eredivise)
Interested Clubs: Bayern Munich (Bundesliga), Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1), Manchester United (EPL), Liverpool(EPL)
(Depay representing his national side during EURO 2016 qualifiers)
The Dutch winger is expected to make a big move this summer with some giant clubs interested in him. He showed some promising performances during the FIFA World Cup. He has been in a sublime form for the Eredivise leaders and tops the scorers chart with 20 goals to his name. He also has 3 assists to his name.
6) Kevin De Bruyne:
Current Club: Wolfsburg (Bundesliga)
Interested Club: Manchester City (EPL)
(Kevin De Bruyne for Wolfsburg)
Belgian youngster, De Bruyne is expected to move back to EPL with defending champions, Manchester City looking to land him. He leads the assists chart with 17 assists this season, sitting 7 assists clear of second placed Zlatko Junuzovic. Wolfsburg paid €24 million to Chelsea for his acquisition, so a bigger amount is expected in a chance to see him in the EPL again.
7) Paulo Dybala:
Current Club: Palermo (Serie A)
Interested Clubs: Chelsea (EPL), Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1), Juventus (Serie A), AS Roma (Serie A)
The Argentine attacker is expected to join a bigger club ahead of the 2015-16 campaign, but his current club will only sell for the right price. His price tag has been set at a staggering €50 million, which is very much for a 21-year old guy. Dybala has scored 13 goals in 30 Serie A appearances this campaign and also created 10 more. The attacker has a contract with Palermo until June 2016.
8) Koke:
Current Club: Atletico Madrid (La Liga)
Interested Club: Chelsea (EPL)
(Koke appeals for a foul during a game)
Chelsea and their fascination for Atletico Madrid players goes on for this season too as they are reportedly monitoring Koke. Diego Costa, Felipe Luis and loanee Thibaut Courtois may expect an arrival of another Atletico player this season. The Madrid club have put a €50 million valuation for the player. But they are expected to earn more from his possible transfer.
Much more action and surprises may follow once the season ends. Stay tuned for more.
