The German great is expected to be offered a new deal atBayern Munich, but is yet to put pen to paper. He'll turn 40 later this month but remains a giant presence for the Bundesliga champions. Expect his Bayern career to head into a 16th season.

Right-back: Oscar Mingueza - Celta Vigo

One of the more intriguing free-agent options, Oscar Mingueza looks set to have his pick of clubs in the summer. The Spaniard has been one of La Liga's best right-backs in recent years and, at 26, could still have his best years ahead of him.

Centre-back: John Stones - Manchester City

The centre-back market looks the deepest when it comes to free agents this summer.

John Stones is one of several top names out of contract, alongside players including Antonio Rudiger and Marcos Senesi. Injuries have impacted Stones atManchester City but there's still plenty left in the tank. The 31-year-old has been linked with a return to Everton.

Centre-back: Ibrahima Konate - Liverpool

Perhaps the biggest fish in the free agent pool. Ibrahima Konate has failed to agree terms on a new deal atLiverpool with all signs pointing towards an exit. Real Madrid are long-standing suitors.

Left-back: Andy Robertson - Liverpool

Another probable Anfield exit is Andy Robertson. The Scotland captain has lost his place as an automatic starter to Milos Kerkez this season and a departure looks likely.Spurs approached Robertson in January, while boyhood club Celtic could be an option.

Midfield: Casemiro - Manchester United

Casemiro was serenaded with chants of "One more year, Casemiro" last weekend following another top performance from the veteran. It's already been announced that Casemiro will leaveManchester United when his contract expires, but recent form has opened the door for a U-turn.

Midfield: Bernardo Silva - Manchester City

Bernardo Silva's trophy-laden time at Manchester City is nearing its end, as the midfielder's deal approaches conclusion. Pep Guardiola's favourite Swiss Army Knife may move on as a result, withJuventus and Inter Miami the latest linked.

Right-wing: Harry Wilson - Fulham

Harry Wilson is in a pretty good spot when it comes to determining his future. With free agency approaching and a run of form to match almost anyone in thePremier League, interest will not be in short supply.

Left-wing: Julian Brandt - Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that Julian Brandt will leave the Westfalenstadion after the two parties failed to find a middle ground on an extension. The midfielder has scored 10+ goals in three of the last four seasons and could make a long-tripped transfer to England.

Forward: Robert Lewandowski - Barcelona

Robert Lewandowski might be creeping towards his 38th birthday but his goalscoring instincts remain as sharp as ever. He's scored 15 goals in 18 starts across La Liga and the Champions League this season.

Forward: Dusan Vlahovic - Juventus

Juventus are ready to move on fromDusan Vlahovic this summer as the Italians look to reduce their wage bill.

The Serbian's sizeable pay-packet has prevented a new contract from materialising and a break could suit all parties. In an underwhelming an often financially-inflated striker market, a punt on the 26-year-old would be shrewd business.
