With less than a third of the season to go, there are a number of transfer plots taking shape, and it is highly likely that there will be some big moves once the summer transfer window opens.

The transfer rumour mill is always spinning, but throughout the 2021/22 season, there has been some constants, as far as possible transfers are concerned.

Sports Brief takes a look at some of the biggest names in the world of football who have been linked with moves away from their current clubs.

1. Romelu Lukaku

The Belgian’s £97.5m back to Chelsea has not panned out the way he expected and the he is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to move back to Inter Milan.

2. Harry Kane

Harry Kane was reported to be willing to stay at Tottenham if Antonio Conte remains as manager next season, but this has not stopped clubs including Manchester United from making attempts to scoop up the talented striker.

3. Robert Lewandowski

The Poland international recently said he was ‘open to anything’ as far as a transfer in the summer is concerned.

In the latest transfer rumours from Spanish outlet AS, Barcelona are among the clubs willing to bolster their attacking options by acquiring Lewandowski.

4. Cristiano Ronaldo

Like Lukaku, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United return is proving to be a nightmare, and the recent exit from the Champions League confirmed a trophy-less season for the Portugal star for the first time in more than a decade.

Reports over the past few months suggest the 37-year old will not be at Old Trafford next season if United fail to get a top-four spot.

5. Erling Haaland

The Borussia Dortmund star has struggled with injury this season but this has not stopped European giants from being linked with the Norwegian.

It is highly unlikely Haaland will be a Dortmund player next season, and Manchester City are in pole position to land him.

6. Eden Hazard

A shadow of his Chelsea days, there seems to be no end in sight to Eden Hazard’s plight at Real Madrid.

The Belgian has fought through his fitness concerns, but consistently finds himself on the bench in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.

Latest rumours suggest Hazard could make a Premier League return, with Arsenal highly interested.

7. Timo Werner

Like Lukaku, Werner has failed to settle at Chelsea, with Tuchel seemingly preferring to play Kai Havertz up front as a false-9.

Werner has been linked with Borussia Dortmund, should Haaland move to England.

8. Neymar

The Brazilian international has reportedly fallen out of favour with Paris Saint Germain fans and it is a case of ‘no love lost’ as latest reports indicate he is also willing to walk away from the Paris giants.

9. Lionel Messi

Like Neymar, Messi is also reportedly looking for a way out of PSG barely nine months after joining the club on a free transfer.

The jeering he was subjected to by home fans during the 3-0 win over Bordeaux also fueled speculation that his spell at PSG was coming to an end.

10. Kylian Mbappe

Another PSG star, Kylian Mbappe, is well on his way to another club.

As per Marca, Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid when his contract at PSG runs out at the end of the season, and paperwork is expected to be ready as early as this week.

11. Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez’s Atletico Madrid career is seemingly coming to an end, and the Uruguayan, 35, has been linked with a return to the Premier League, with Aston Villa reportedly interested in his services.

The 35-year old is willing to play in Europe for one more season before considering a move to the Major League Soccer in the US.
