Liverpool legend Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the verge of joining Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season. The deal is already all but done, with only official comfirmation needed to rubber-stamp the move.

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk looked like they would join him out of the door but both agreed to sign new two-year contracts at Liverpool.

Man City legend Kevin de Bruyne has announced he will leave the club after 10 brilliant years at the Etihad. He is likely to move to the MLS. De Bruyne could be joined through the exit door by Ilkay Gundogan.

Arsenal are set to lose Thomas Partey and Jorginho, while Manchester United are expected to release Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen and Jonny Evans.

Real Madrid see Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez's contracts expire and both could leave. Modric turns 40 later this year.

In Germany, Leroy Sane at Bayern Munich and Jonathan Tah at Bayer Leverkusen are two big names who have their contracts expiring. Thomas Muller has already announced he will leave Bayern after a glittering career.

In Italy, Stefan de Vrij and Frank Zambo-Anguissa both see their contracts expire at Inter and Napoli, respectively.

Roma defender and Germany legend Mats Hummels has announced he is retiring at the end of the season.

Jonathan David will leave Lille on a Bosman Transfer.
