James Milner - Midfielder, Aston Villa
Price £20m
Rejuvenated since moving into the centre of midfield at Villa Park. Milner's has attracted the interest of Fabio Capello, and the Premier League's richest clubs.
Linked with Manchester City
Steven Gerrard - Midfielder, Liverpool
Price £30m
Until now a one-club man, Gerrard turns 30 this month and will play a key role for England in the World Cup this summer. The financial situation at Anfield could lead to his departure.
Linked with Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid
Mario Balotelli - Striker, Inter
Price £20m
Immensely talented but seemingly incapable of avoiding controversy, Balotelli has clashed repeatedly with Inter's management and infuriated the club's fans. He has acknowledged being a Milan fan in the past, but may decide to leave Italy altogether after being racially abused by rival supporters.
Linked with Milan, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea
Marek Hamsik - Midfielder, Napoli
Price £18m
Chelsea and Manchester United were strongly linked with Napoli’s box-to-box midfielder last year, but an offer never materialised. After another impressive season in which Hamsik helped the Partenopei to a sixth-place finish, Manchester City are now considering a bid.

Alexandre Pato - Forward, Milan
Price £35m
His third season in Milan was badly disrupted by injury, but the Brazilian striker still managed 12 goals in 23 league games and his former manager Carlo Ancelotti remains a keen admirer.
Linked with Chelsea
Joe Cole - Midfielder
Destination Liverpool
Price Free
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar - Striker, Milan
Price £12m
Failed to make the desired impact at San Siro following his summer arrival from Real Madrid, but remains a capable poacher and may yet start for Holland at the World Cup.
Linked with Tottenham, Manchester United
Gigi Buffon - Goalkeeper, Juventus
Price £25m
Vastly experienced keeper with a century of Italy caps. Reports this season suggested he was unsettled in Turin, but has a contract with the Old Lady until 2013.
Linked with Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City
Fernando Torres - Striker, Liverpool
Price £40m
Scored 18 goals in 20 Premier League starts, his absences through injury costing Liverpool dear. The financial situation at Anfield could mean Liverpool are tempted to cash in should the Premier League’s big spenders come calling.
Linked with Chelsea, Manchester City
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Striker, Barcelona Price £30m Arrived in Spain to much fanfare last summer but has struggled to fit into Barcelona’s system. Sixteen goals in 29 league appearances is a reasonable return, but he was left on the bench for several key games towards the end of the season. Linked with Chelsea, Manchester City
