LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off!, available wherever you get your podcasts. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are two of the Liverpool stars with contracts expiring in 2025 Tottenham captain Son Heung-min's contract runs out next summer but the club retains an option to extend it for another 12 months Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with a move away from the Etihad GK: Manuel Neuer The legendary goalkeeper finally called time on his international career after Germany's exit from Euro 2024. Alternatives: Denzel Dumfries, Kyle Walker-Peters, Davide Calabria Trent Alexander-Arnold has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid as his contract approaches its expiration date CB: Virgil van Dijk, Jonathan Tah, Harry Maguire A centre-back pairing of Van Dijk and Tah would instantly give your team one of the meanest defences in any division - adding Harry Maguire to it certainly raises questions but it's formidable nonetheless. Alternatives: Victor Lindelof, Olivier Boscagli, Eric Dier Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah played all but one of the side's games as they went unbeaten and won the Bundesliga last season Harry Maguire is still the most expensive defender in history following his arrival from Leicester LWB: Alphonso Davies Bayern Munich didn't take too kindly to Alphonso Davies' reluctance to sign a contract extension in 2023. Alternatives: Thomas Partey, Angel Gomes, Frank Anguissa, Sean Longstaff Joshua Kimmich will reportedly consider joining Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and the two Spanish giants this summer RW: Mohamed Salah Speaking of Premier League legends, Salah may have fewer titles than De Bruyne but his impact on the English top-flight has been just as much profound.
