Top 5 European stars available in summer bargains

The Premier League is widely held as one of the richest top leagues, and stars are often looking to make the move to England to take the next step in their careers. It's no stranger to big transfer fees, but clubs are always on the hunt for a bargain, and this summer there are once again a lot of big names keen for a change.

Players entering the last year of their contracts make an attractive target, with the lowest fees, regarding release clauses and such, and it's also the last year their clubs can make money off their sale. So let's take a look at some of the biggest names that could be heading the Premier League's way on a sweet deal.

Kylian Mbappe

The French star made big waves when it came out that he would not renew with PSG, and his furious club are desperate to sell him this summer to make something back on the €180 million they spent on him in 2018.

Despite the need to sell him, the club are still looking for a huge sum, in the region of €150 million. Currently the most likely candidates look to be Real Madrid, but Premier League teams like Chelsea and Man United have shown some interest.

Ousmane Dembele

Dembele's future at Barcelona has looked insecure over the last year, as he could be willing to sign another contract, but the club recognise the need to sell some players before they sign new ones. The Frenchman joined the Catalans in 2017, and has struggled with injury in Spain, which could make the club lean towards selling him.

There are plenty of PL clubs that could make good use of a player of his quality: United are looking for firepower up front, Liverpool are rebuilding with lots of money being spent in the midfield, and Arsenal are looking for the opportunity to reinforce their squad ahead of a return to the Champions League.

Due to their financial struggles with La Liga, 'Daily Mail' estimates that Barca might have to look at accepting an offer in the region of €60-80 million.

Alvaro Morata

Morata would be a returning fixture to the PL if he decided to make the move. The former Chelsea striker is entering the last 12 months of his contract with Atletico Madrid and could be considered a worthwhile gamble for English top-flight teams.

Despite struggles in recent seasons, the Spaniard has plenty of experience under his belt, having also starred for Real Madrid and Juventus, as well as having over 60 caps for Spain.

After clocking in a respectable 15 goals last season, a move to England might cost somewhere around the €20 million mark, if Saudi Arabia don't get there first. 

Alessandro Bastoni

The Italian defender would make a great addition to most Premier League teams, having recently starred in the Champions League final with Inter Milan, and now he is turning heads. 

Another club facing some serious financial difficulties, Inter may have to accept a sale for less than they would have liked, as the young star, who featured in UEFA's UCL Team of the Season, enters the last year of his contract.

For a player of his quality and potential, the expected price of €50-60 million will be a disappointment to the club.

Presnel Kimpembe

Another PSG star that could be looking to head out is Presnel Kimpembe. A winner of the World Cup with France in 2018, he has struggled with injuries this season, making just 11 appearances for the Parisian giants.

At 27 years old, a move to the PL could be just the ticket to reboot his career and it's expected he would come with a price tag of about €25-35 million, making him a relatively low-risk investment for a big club.
