I feel that this is at least an equally important conversation as the ‘free agent in Summer 2021’ conversation.
In the market, the ‘one year left on the deal’ is a far more interesting market than the free agent one, which typically has past it players and the odd gem. Most top players don’t get down to the very end of their contract. You would think Pogba would either sign or leave this summer for instance. This is the time to do such deals. In fact, most good players will leave their teams when they have a year left, like Thiago. Before that, clubs will refuse to sell as they have leverage or extort you.
So, who will have a year left on their deals this summer?
Varane
Camavinga
Mbappé
