Paul Pogba could be on the move this summer, as per some reports in this regard. The Frenchman returned to England in August 2016 as the most expensive player in the world at the time.

But the midfielder faced a lot of criticism for his inability to hit the ground running. Pundits and fans have pilloried him for his poor performances, and his massive price tag has proven burdensome over the years.

Pogba's fortunes at Manchester United improved in 2019 following the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has used the player well and has played him in key games.

The Frenchman is in the final year of contract, with an option for another year. Reports have surfaced which are linking him with a transfer to Spain. If the move happens, the Red Devils' could earn a few big bucks for the highly-rated midfielder.


#4 Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho has been a target of English clubs, especially Manchester United particularly, since last summer. After a slow start to his campaign, Sancho registered yet another impressive season.

He scored 16 times and assisted 21 goals in all competitions this season. As per the latest transfer news, Borussia Dortmund are said to have put a price tag of €100 million on the player.

With Liverpool and Chelsea also reportedly interested in the player, Sancho could see a bidding war for his services this summer.

#3 Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe is a player who needs no introduction. The menacing forward has been a delight to watch. With imperious performances in the Champions League this season against top teams like Bayern Munich and Barcelona, Mbappe has attracted interest from elite clubs in Europe.

Bagging 42 goals in all competitions, the French forward proved his mettle yet again. Teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool are also reportedly monitoring the player closely.

The PSG star is yet to agree a new deal with PSG as he moves into the final 12 months of his contract. If Los Blancos come knocking on the door, it is unlikely the player would decline.

However, getting the 22-year-old from the French giants would mean Real Madrid spending big, which may be unlikely to happen, considering their financial difficulties.


#2 Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland is arguably the best young player in the game at the moment. The forward has been an absolute delight to watch this season.

An absolute beast in front of goal, Haaland netted 41 goals in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund. His agility, pace and striking prowess are sensational. The transfer news columns are occupied with talks speculating the player's future.

Many of the top clubs have been linked with the player, and some of them could make a move for Haaland this summer. The likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid have all been linked with the Norwegian striker.

Considering the red-hot form he is in, Haaland would not come cheap, though.


#1 Harry Kane

Harry Kane won his third Golden Boot, matching Alan Shearer's record. His 23rd league goal of the season came in Spurs' impressive come-from-behind victory over Leicester City on the last day of the season.

The 27-year-old has been a prolific goal-scorer in the Premier League. In one of his recent interviews, Kane expressed his wish to join a club where he could play win a few trophies.

With his desire to stay in England pretty evident, Kane's likeliest destinations appear to be the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea, who could be giving it their all to secure the forward's services this summer.

Realistically speaking, though, Kane would get the best chance to win trophies at City, a situation Daniel Levy would like to make the most of.

Levy would anticipate a bidding affair for his most prized asset. Harry Kane could well cost northward of £100 million to any interested team that seek his services.
