12 players clubs can’t afford to LOSE this summer: Liverpool, Chelsea & Man Utd stars linked with exits

1) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)

Wanted by a whole host of top European clubs as well as Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Manchester City and Arsenal, Raheem Sterling’s exit would be a disaster for the Reds just one summer after losing Luis Suarez.

2) David de Gea (Manchester United)

After his best season in a Manchester United shirt, David de Gea was undoubtedly the club’s best player in 2014/15 and is now looking ever more likely to join Real Madrid, giving Louis van Gaal a headache in terms of finding a replacement.

3) Diego Costa (Chelsea)

After a superb first season in England, Chelsea striker Diego Costa is reportedly wanted back in La Liga with Real Madrid, in what would be another big blow for the Blues.

4) Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

Another player on Real’s radar is Manchester City star Sergio Aguero, who was by far their best player in an otherwise disappointing season this year.

5) Carlos Tevez (Juventus)

Juventus’ top scorer and key forward, Carlos Tevez now wants out of the club this summer, which could leave them well short of quality up front.

6) Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Linked with a return to Manchester United and with Paris Saint-Germain, Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit from Real Madrid would be a crushing blow for the club after a trophyless season.

7) Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund)

One of the best defenders in the world, Borussia Dortmund will do well to cope if Mats Hummels does end up joining Manchester United this summer.

8) Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund)

Another important Dortmund star, Marco Reus is wanted by the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid this summer and will prove very hard to replace as Dortmund continue to move backwards.

9) Kevin De Bruyne (Wolfsburg)

With 10 goals and 20 assists in a superb season for the Bundesliga runners-up, Wolfsburg absolutely cannot afford to lose star player Kevin De Bruyne to Manchester City this summer.

10) Arturo Vidal (Juventus)

With Paul Pogba almost certainly leaving, Juventus have to make sure they hold on to Arsenal target Arturo Vidal for next season, or they’ll be without a midfield.

11) Koke (Atletico Madrid)

Long linked with big names like Chelsea and Manchester United, Atletico Madrid could lose another star player in Koke this summer after the youngster enjoyed another fantastic season.

12) Diego Godin (Atletico Madrid)

In another blow for Atletico, Diego Godin is also continuing to attract strong interest from Chelsea, United and City this summer after establishing himself as one of the best centre-backs in the world.
