Dimitar Berbatov is set to be the most high-profile player to leave Manchester United in the summer.

Former club Bayer Leverkusen are the favourites to land his signature after making enquiries in January.

2.Neymar

Ask anyone whether Neymar will be moving on this summer, and the response will likely be affirmative.

Even B/R's very own Dan Talintyre has written about the Brazilian playing for Barcelona.

3. Robin van Persie

Will he or won't he leave?

Juventus or Real Madrid seem to be the most likely destinations for Arsenal's Robin Van Persie.

4. Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard is surely set to move on from Lille this season, but who will win the race for his signature?

Take your pick from Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

5. Dirk Kuyt

It seems that workhorse footballer Dirk Kuyt's days on Merseyside are numbered this summer after Hamburg declared their interest in the Dutchman.

6. Nigel De Jong

From one Dutchman to another, Nigel De Jong could be set to learn Italian if he completes a move to Inter Milan.

£8 million is the fee that has been touted.

7. Luka Modric

Luka Modric was the subject of Manchester United interest once before, but now, it seems Alex Ferguson knows he's going to have to pay big to replace Paul Scholes.

Daily Star says that £40 million would be required to land the Croatian.

8. Hugo Lloris


129039217_display_image

Heurelho Gomes is useless and Brad Friedel is getting old, so it's quite an obvious thought process to assume that Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a goalkeeper this summer.

Hugo Lloris is both France and Olympique Lyon's No. 1 choice and could be set for a move to London in the summer.

9. Steven Pienaar


143955615_display_image

Streven Pienaar has been superb for Everton since signing on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

The blue half of Merseyside would be foolish not to sign the South African in the summer.

Apparently, all Tottenham want is their £3 million returned.

10. Clint Dempsey

Clint Dempsey has enjoyed his best ever goal-scoring return in the Premier League this season.

Cue interest from Liverpool FC.

11. Darrent Bent

Not content with just bringing Clint Dempsey to Anfield, the Merseyside reds have also been strongly linked with crocked England and Aston Villa striker Darren Bent.

12. Ezequiel Lavezzi


142681238_display_image

Napoli's loss could be Manchester City or Chelsea's gain if the price is right.

That price is reported to be £28 million.

13. Didier Drogba


143932404_display_image

With Chelsea failing to offer Didier Drogba the two-year deal he craves, Barcelona could swoop for the big Ivorian in the summer.

His contract expires this summer.

14. Nicolas Gaitan


142002259_display_image

Manchester United have already completed a deal to sign Nicolas Gaitan from Benfica.

Set to be announced at the end of the season, the deal includes Fabio and Federico Macheda going the other way.

15. Gonzalo Higuain

Listen to Javier Pastore of Paris St Germain, and he'll tell you that Gonzalo Higuain has enquired about the French outfit.

16. Marouane Chamakh


136671213_display_image

Marouane Chamakh has to be one of the "definites" to leave Arsenal this summer.

The Moroccan can apparently re-join Bordeaux if he takes a cut in wages.

17. Luuk De Jong


139947526_display_image

Luuk De Jong's agent has apparently spilled the beans on who his client's potential suitors are this summer.

Liverpool are allegedly leading the race, with 15 other clubs following suit.

18. Emmanuel Adebayor


143957612_display_image

A loan spell at Real Madrid followed by a loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur—surely Emmanuel Adebayor will be signing a permanent deal with somebody in the summertime.

Harry Redknapp is desperate to keep him at White Hart Lane.

19. Shinji Kagawa


140161137_display_image

Shinji Kagawa looks set to lead the Manchester United midfield revolution in the summer after rejecting Borussia Dortmund's latest offer.

£7 million could be enough to secure his services.

20. Leighton Baines


140705084_display_image

Leighton Baines is a name that is consistently mentioned when it comes to transfer gossip.

With Everton's finances unimpressive, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are keen to help lighten the financial burden in Liverpool.

21. Gylfi Sigurdsson


143525319_display_image

Gylfi Sigurdsson looks set to be a tad too expensive for Swansea City to sign permanently, but Newcastle United are believed to have cash at the ready.

The £8 million rated 22-year-old has been in excellent goal-scoring form since his temporary arrival in January.

22. Jan Vertonghen


143771327_display_image

Arsenal have been tracking Jan Vertonghen for what seems like an age, and they are certainly in need of some extra defensive stability at the Emirates.

If they don't act soon, though, they could lose the Ajax star to rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

23. Junior Hoilett


141634231_display_image

Blackburn's relegation to The Championship will only increase the likelihood of Junior Hoilett's departure from the club.

Once again, it's Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur who are fighting over the highly-rated Canadian.

24. Gerard Pique


143303972_display_image

Manchester United have to replace Rio Ferdinand at some point, and who better than Gerard Pique?

Reports of a rift prior to Pep Guardiola's resignation has fueled the speculation that could see the Spaniard return to his former club.

25. Marouane Fellaini


143300826_display_image

Marouane Fellaini has been linked to Chelsea for a fee that seems to include £1 million for every inch his hair protrudes from his head.

The £22 million fee is thought to be the beginning of a Chelsea overhaul this summer.

To be continued....
