Of all the players on this list, the most likely to move is Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann. He may not be an Atletico player for much longer, having already announced his intentions to leave the club this summer. The Frenchman is likely to make the switch across to Barcelona, who he has constantly been linked with over the past few years. There has been interest from Manchester United, but Atletico CEO Gil Martin has confirmed that there is a deal in place with Barcelona.

Individually, the 28-year-old has had a good few years at Atletico, scoring 133 goals in 257 games in all competitions. One thing he will be disappointed with fthough is the return in terms of trophies, with the Europa League the only major title he has won with the club. On the international stage, he has enjoyed more success, and was a key part of France’s World Cup winning squad last summer, scoring the second in their 4-2 win over Croatia in the final.
