With just the finals of the European tournaments left, this season has almost come to an end. The summer transfer window is already open in a few countries and by the end of this month, we could start getting more transfer deals finalized in preparation for the upcoming season.
This season has been a wonderful one in terms of both competitive spirit and entertainment factor. While Manchester City and Liverpool were involved in a title-race that extended until the final day of the Premier League, Bayern Munich just scraped past Borussia Dortmund to win yet another Bundesliga title. However, Barcelona, PSG, and Juventus won their individual league titles comfortably.
Europe's Top 5 Leagues have produced a number of talented players in this season as well. While a few proven performers extended their good form, a lot of good footballers emerged into the limelight after this season. Hence, there would be a lot of transfer activity this summer considering a few European giants are on the road to resurrection.
Accordingly, the champions of Europe's top 5 leagues could also lose out on a few players this summer. Here is a list comprising one player from each of the winners of Europe's top 5 leagues this season.
#1 Paris Saint-Germain - Thomas Meunier
The Belgian displayed fine performances in his right-back position with his country at the World Cup which was held last year. However, the 27-year-old has made less impact with his performances for PSG this season.
Meunier's game-time has decreased in the last twelve months, and in most cases, he has lost his position in the squad to Dani Alves. Hence, the talented full-back is expected to leave the Frech giants in the summer with Manchester United likely to be his next destination.
#2 Juventus - Paulo Dybala
Although the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus last summer raised hopes of a dangerous partnership between Ronaldo and Dybala, the expectations did not come true. The Argentine has struggled form this season and also missed many games this season because of his inconsistent form.
Hence, Paulo Dybala is reportedly set for a move this summer. One bad season is unlikely to have an impact on Dybala's credentials as a good footballer and hence, a lot of clubs could be involved in a transfer tussle to sign the Argentine.
#3 Manchester City - Leroy Sane
When Leroy Sane came to Manchester City a few seasons ago, there was a huge hype surrounding the youngster. The German did meet his expectations at the club as he led his team to a number of wins during his good time.
The latest season was not great for Leroy Sane as both his game-time and goal-tally have dwindled to an extent. With the rise of other talented players in the squad, Leroy Sane is set to face a similar competition he has dealt in the 2018-19 season. Hence, Sane could well be one player who could leave Manchester City in the summer.
#4 Barcelona - Philippe Coutinho
Barring a few performances, Philippe Coutinho has struggled to adjust to life at Barcelona since his move from Liverpool in January 2018. The Brazilian has failed to replace Neymar at the Catalan club, and most importantly, Coutinho has failed to justify his expensive transfer fee.
His performance against Liverpool in the return fixture of the Champions League was criticized by many supporters and it seems, Coutinho's time at Barcelona is coming to an end. Manchester United and Chelsea could be the clubs interested in bringing Coutinho back to the Premier League.
#5 Bayern Munich - Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski is probably one of the best strikers in world football right now. The Polish striker has been influential in Bayern Munich exerting dominance in the Bundesliga throughout the last few years. After becoming the highest goal-scorer in Bundesliga this season too, Lewandowski could consider yet another season in Germany.
However, it is unlikely as the club has failed in the Champions League. Bayern could also be looking for a younger player who could be the long-term striker option for the club and hence, if the right offer arrives, Bayern's No.9 could leave the club.
