The year 2025 is underway and with the new year also comes the time for the winter transfer window to open and there are several players who are now free to negotiate with the team that meets their expectations, both economically and in terms of sport.
The list is longer than one would expect and includes players such as Joshua Kimmich, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Alphonso Davies, among others who are certainly in the sights of Europe’s top clubs.
Where will Kimmich, Salah and Davies play?
These three players are among the most sought-after in Europe, today there are only rumors but certainly any big club will have the checkbook ready to sign them. Mohamed Salah is waiting until the last minute to decide his future, although there is no progress in his renewal. From England, there are several versions that claim that he could finally stay with Liverpool
Bayern Munich knows that it has no options to retain Alphonso Davies and although a few days ago it was speculated with his arrival at Barcelona with Hansi Flick, today the economic problems of the Blaugrana would complicate any negotiation.
This will not be the only departure for the German team, which will also see Joshua Kimmich leave in June if he does not make a decision before then, as the player stated a few days ago that in January he will define his future and does not plan to wait until June.
The case of Dani Olmo
Barcelona is still unable to register Dani Olmo and has not presented any economic alternative to be able to have the player who arrived for 50 million euros and could now be free if the situation is not fixed and look for a new club from now on.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo free
Incredibly, both Messi and CR7 are free agents, although it is worth noting that in the case of the Inter Miami CF player, he still has a one-year option to play in MLS if he so decides, but in theory, the 2025 season could be his last in soccer in the United States.
With Manchester City’s crisis and the winter transfer market, it was speculated that he could finally reunite with Pep Guardiola and help the first team to win four Premier League titles in a row out of their slump.
Something similar happens with Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also playing his last season with Al-Nassr and would be looking for a team in Europe to close his career. Today the rumors point to Sporting CP, the team with which he made his debut and which today is one of the great surprises of the Champions League.
