Euro 2024 is expected to showcase breakout performances that could lead to transfer frenzies among Europe’s top clubs, with players like Enzo Fernandez, Andrey Arshavin, and Renato Sanches as prime examples from past tournaments. This summer’s tournament in Germany will provide another platform for players to shine and potentially secure moves to England. Here are some players to watch out for:
Joshua Kimmich
The versatile German defender/midfielder is a key player for the tournament hosts. Despite Bayern Munich’s struggles, Kimmich remains a top performer. With his contract entering its last year and reported interest from Barcelona, a strong showing could attract more suitors, including Manchester City.
Martin Zubimendi
The Real Sociedad midfielder has impressed with his performances and could be available due to a rumored release clause. Arsenal has been linked with him, and a strong Euros campaign could lead to a move to England.
Goncalo Inacio
The young Portuguese defender has caught the eye with Sporting Lisbon and is now part of the Portugal squad. Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly interested, and further success at the Euros could prompt a move.
Youssouf Fofana
The Monaco star is a key player for France. His contract is winding down, and while he is open to staying, a strong tournament could attract offers. Fofana’s versatility and attacking play make him an attractive prospect.
Teun Koopmeiners
Having recently won the Europa League with Atalanta, Koopmeiners is now looking to shine with the Netherlands. Atalanta’s knack for turning players into stars could lead to a big-money offer, especially if he impresses at the Euros.
These players, among others, have the opportunity to showcase their talents on a big stage and potentially secure moves to England’s top clubs based on their performances.
