Players That Plan on Leaving!


Owen Hargreaves

Very soon after winning the Premier League, Sir Alex Ferguson announced that Owen Hargreaves would be leaving the club.  Hargreaves has been hurt for the majority of the last three seasons of his career.  He's a very talented footballer, and I'm sure he will be going somewhere very prestigious after he leaves Manchester United.
 
Sturridge and Kalou with
teammate Bosingwa

Two Chelsea forwards claim that they want out if they aren't going to get first team football.  Solomon Kalou has played a lot of first team football for the team, and is a valuable part of their offense.  But, after the acquisition of Fernando Torres, Kalou is looking kind of shaky on getting starting roles.  Torres, Drogba, and Anelka are all in front of him in starting chances as a forward.  So, Kalou stated that if he wasn't going to get many starting chances, he was going to have to look elsewhere.  Daniel Sturridge, who spent most of the season loaned out to Bolton, also who spent most of the season claiming that all he wanted was to go back to Chelsea, has now stated that if he is only going to warm the bench there, that he wants out.  Sturridge is in the same situation as Kalou, except he's got Kalou in front of him as well.  The likelihood of BOTH of these players getting a lot of starting time is very unlikely.  So, my guess is is that atleast one of them will leave Chelsea this summer.

Denilson and Fabregas
  Arsenal also has problems on the interior.  Arsene Wenger has stated that they are going to do a lot of transfering this summer in order to improve the squad.  So, amidst all of this, three players have openly stated that they want out, as well as a player that will probably leave.  Denilson, Arsenal midfielder has been at the club for 5 years.  After those 5 years, he claims that he came here to win trophies, and since he's arrived, he hasn't gotten any.  He plans on leaving in the summer.  Also, forward Nikolas Bendtner hasn't gotten a lot of playing time, and he's looking to leave so he can get some playing time I'm assuming.  Gael Clichy is tired of Arsenal and will most likely be leaving in the summer for either Inter or Bayern Munich.  And also, the discussion of Fabregas has been going on for years.  He's losing his ability to perform here at Arsenal, and he's been linked with a move back to Spanish club Barcelona.  Fabregas is still only 23, and he's got a bright future in football.  It's very likely he could go back to Spain.

Forlan and Aguero
 Athletico Madrid might lose some players this summer as well.  Both of their master forwards, Diego Forlan and Sergio Aguero, have said that they wanted out of Athletico.  I talked about a potential move for Forlan in my previous post, which stated that he was being eyed up by Diego Maradona, the new coach of Al Wasl.  Aguero has attracted a lot of attention from top name clubs in the years he's been at Athletico.  But finally, he's stated that he wants to win trophies.  He will most likely move to either a top name English or Italian club in the summer.

Many other players are attracting a lot of attention with a potential to move in the summer.  Here's a quick list of those players so you know to be looking for their names in future headlines.
  • Ashley Young of Aston Villa
  • Luka Modric of Tottenham
  • Gael Clichy of Arsenal
  • Rafinha of Genoa
  • Robbie Keane of Tottenham
Hope this helps on all of our quest to find out who will end up on our favorite teams next season.  Comment below!
