Top 11 Players Up For Sale This Summer

Here is a compilation of the top 11 players up for sale this summer. The players chosen are those who have a genuine chance of moving away from their respective clubs. There were some such as Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Diego who would have made it to the list but they have already been transferred to other clubs. The team is designed on a 4-3-3 formation.

Carlos Kameni

The Cameroonian goalkeeper has been on the radar of several bigger clubs in Europe for quite some time now and this summer he might eventually take the leap from Espanyol. Carlos Kameni has already declared that he has no intention to carry on playing for the Barcelona side that staved off relegation from the Spanish Primera Division only on the final day of the season.

Maicon

Maicon's recent admission that he does not feel appreciated or respected at Inter Milan has led the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City to swoop in on the situation. The Inter Milan and Brazilian international right-back is one of the three best right backs in the world and his agent is alleged to have held talks with Madrid. Inter, though, do not want the 27-year-old to leave but might have to relent if the player really wants to leave and if a megaoffer comes.

Bruno Alves

The Portuguese centre-back was in scintillating form both in the league and in the Champions League last season and is one of the players slated to move from FC Porto. Bruno Alves is one of the best central defenders in Europe and a number of clubs have been making enquiries about his availability.

Ricardo Carvalho

Ricardo Carvalho's love story with Chelsea appears to be heading towards the last page as the Portuguese centre-back seemingly wants to move out of Stamford Bridge. Italian champions Inter Milan want to sign him.

Felipe Luis

Deportivo la Coruna left-back Felipe Luis was the best left-back in entire Spain last season and appears to be heading towards Camp Nou. The young Brazilian is keen to play for the Spanish and European champions FC Barcelona next season.

Franck Ribery

Bayern Munich have consistently maintained that their star and possibly best player Franck Ribery is not up for sale this summer but it is understood that a huge offer would dislodge the German powerhouse from that stance. Real Madrid are reported to be keen on landing the French international but Barcelona and Manchester United too have interests in him.

Xabi Alonso

Liverpool have made it clear in no uncertain terms that their star midfielder Xabi Alonso is not up for auction but the player himself has refused to rule out a move from Anfield this summer. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is eager to sign the player whom he admires very much but has acknowledged that signing the Spanish international would be very tough indeed.

Deco

Deco is heading towarde the exit door at Stamford Bridge after just one year in London. The Portuguese arrived from FC Barcelona last summer and after a bright start to his Premier League career faded away. The former Porto midfielder now wants to reunite with Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan.

Carlos Tevez

Manchester United and Carlos Tevex have officially ended their relationship and the Argentine international is now looking for a new club. He is inclined to stay on in England and according to reports is on the verge of signing for Manchester City.

Samuel Eto'o

Samuel Eto'o might have ended as the second top scorer in La Liga last season and played a crucial role in Barcelona's domestic and European success but the Cameroonian international is no longer wanted at Camp Nou. Barcelona are willing to listen to offers for the former Real Mallorca striker and the 30-goal hitman could end up at either Inter Milan or Manchester City. Even Manchester United are interested in Eto'o.

David Villa

David Villa is the best striker in Europe and understandably there are a number of top clubs vying for his signature. Although Valencia have made it clear that they won't sell the 27-year-old at any cost, with the financial crisis that the Spanish club are steeped in they would eventually have to let go of their most prized asset. Villa has already said that he wants to remain in Spain and this implies that he would end up either at Real Madrid or at Barcelona.
