Ex-Brighton shot-stopper Matthew Ryan is another looking for his next move, while former Aston Villa man Orjan Nyland will hope that his World Cup performances convince someone to come knocking.Right-back: Dani CarvajalArguably the best right-back of his generation, Dani Carvajal left Real Madrid this summer after two spells covering 23 years in which he won 27 major trophies. Zinchenko has proven himself in the Premier League, but will his rehab put clubs off signing him this summer?Centre midfield: Franck KessieFranck Kessie knows all about getting a big move on a free transfer.



The Ivorian moved to Barcelona after his contract with AC Milan expired in 2022, and he memorably scored the goal that won Xavi Hernandez's side the La Liga title in his one and only season.Kessie was then sold to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, where he spent the past three seasons. For a player of his stature and still impeccably fit at 34 years old, that's a surprise.But factor in the World Cup and it's understandable that the Egypt captain has had other priorities.

But fast forward four years and he's without an employer.Barcelona continue to be linked with the ex-Fiorentina marksman while there's been speculation that Juventus could resume talks over a new contract, having failed to agree on an extension before the end of the season. Jadon Sancho's deal with Manchester United ran out last month and Aston Villa, who he spent last season on loan with, don't want to sign him permanently.A return to former club Borussia Dortmund has long been rumoured, having also had a loan spell there in 2024.
