Neymar still holds the record of the most expensive player in the history of football after Paris Saint-Germain shelled out a massive €222m for the Brazilian superstar from Barcelona in 2017.

Granit Xhaka is another player who could find himself on the chopping board as far as departures are concerned as Arsenal could look to cash in on him as he enters the final 12 months of his contract.

Despite two midfielders being at risk of losing their place in Mikel Arteta’s squad, there are other players that could potentially reap from the transfers.
