Choose from this list of<\/span> online bookmakers<\/span>, should you be wanting to get in on that fun for yourself too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contracts Expiring in 2021<\/h2>\n

Lionel Messi\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lionel Messi is believed to have only six months left on his contract and therefore is free to begin discussing where he envisions himself moving on to, especially where foreign clubs are concerned for example. <\/span><\/p>\n

Messi is 33-years-old an,d obviously, the concern for most players is that once they hit the big 30, their career options will possibly lessen. This is not a problem for Messi, being the world’s finest player. He is guaranteed to snap up a contract pretty quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, the rumours are that he may consider a Manchester City deal, and if that materialises, he will be leaving the club this coming summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

David Alaba<\/strong><\/h3>\n

David Alaba, who plays for Bayern Munich, is another player who is facing an expiring contract with the club. <\/span><\/p>\n

Having a successful career with Bayern Munich and winning everything that a club has to offer for a team member, many believe he will want to experience more of what is out there. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is a possibility that Alaba will be contemplating a move to either Juventus or Chelsea, as they are of the many clubs considering him at present and have already expressed their interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gianluigi Donnarumma is obviously in the prime of his career, being only 21-years-old. There is far greater to come when it comes to him tackling his goalkeeping career, no doubt. <\/span><\/p>\n

Playing for AC Milan since 2015, we wonder where he will get snapped up next?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sergio Aguero<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sergio Aguero has been a player for <\/span>Manchester City<\/span><\/a> for just over nine years. At 32-years-old we can guarantee that he has had an amazing career with the Manchester team. <\/span><\/p>\n

His goals are the reason for City winning their titles, even though he has yet to experience a Champions League win. <\/span><\/p>\n

N<\/span>evertheless, he has been the top scorer that City have ever had within their history. Bettors will have definitely gained a penny or two, thanks to Aguero.<\/span><\/p>\n

Georginio Wijnaldum<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Georginio Wijnaldum plays for Liverpool and has just turned 30.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the rumours that he was linked with <\/span>Barcelona<\/span><\/a> just last year, Wijnaldum took the decision to continue his final year at Anfield. <\/span><\/p>\n

This year brings that last few months with the team; maybe after that, he would consider the move to Spain. Until then, we have to just wait and see for the announcement ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sergio Ramos<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The much-loved captain of Real Madrid has seen many years at the club. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many considered him to be the all-time favourite, having been there for five league titles, in addition to four Champions League wins too. <\/span><\/p>\n

In total, he has been at Real Madrid for 15 years, and played alongside many players, leading them as captain. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is a discussion where he could possibly play for the team again, on a one-year contract, yet still, the decision does actually remain unknown for now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memphis Depay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Playing for Lyon, Depay left Manchester United in 2017 to play with the team. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since approaching the end of his contract, there has been interest from a couple of teams, one being Barcelona. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Barcelona are a huge team to play for and being that Memphis is 26-years-old, he definitely has many years left for his career to continue. Barcelona would be a good stop along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n
