The European Championships are only a few months away and we’re bound to see some of the continents’ biggest names showcase their ability.

Clubs are merely a job for these players but you only get one nation to play for and represent. The international stage is typically where footballers give their all. And in doing so, interest is drummed up still further by interested clubs.

While already there are a number of rumours circling around some of these names, you can only imagine this will be aggravated all the more ahead of the tournament - and even after.

Here FootballTransfers goes through some of the biggest names who could be on the move either just before or just after the tournament takes place.

Kylian Mbappe

The saga of the ages - Kylian Mbappe finally announced that he would be, in fact, leaving Paris Saint-Germain to move on to another club when his contract is up in June, as a free agent.

The striker, who remains one of the best in the world, won’t be short of admirers, but the clubs who can afford his hefty wage bill are few and far between. The most likely destination for the Frenchman appears to be Real Madrid, who are hoping he can lead the line for them next campaign. But in the transfer market, nothing is ever that simple, and you can count other parties will enter the fray soon enough.

Florian Wirtz

Florian Wirtz has been linked with Bayern Munich and Newcastle in recent months. Considered one of the best young talents in the Bundesliga, the attacker has somehow continued his breath-taking trajectory despite suffering a horrific ACL injury not too long ago.

But Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso has recently come out to say that he wants to remain with the league leaders for another season at least. This could be something of a obstacle for clubs hoping to snap up the the German international.

Rafael Leao

Rafael Leao's impact at Milan has been pivotal since his transfer from Lille in 2019, establishing himself as arguably the most important player of the team. Consequently, it's no surprise that some of Europe's heavyweight clubs are considering whether to trigger his release clause, which stands at €175 million.

The Portugal international has four years remaining on his current contract at the San Siro and AC Milan have made noises via the press that they are not willing to listen to amounts under that.

PSG and Chelsea have been extensively linked to Leao over the past couple of years, both of which the money to complete such a deal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool at the end of the season was always going to have some knock-on effect. No sooner had the German announced that he would leaving the Reds that Trent Alexander-Arnold has linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Los Blancos are reportedly eyeing the England international and hope to take advantage of the fact his contract runs until 2025.

Alexander-Arnold is a boyhood Liverpool supporter and academy graduate but could Klopp’s exit see him move loyalty aside in favour of a move to arguably the biggest club in the world?

Theo Hernandez

Regarded as one of the best left-backs in the world, Theo Hernandez is reportedly eyed by Bayern Munich as the ideal replacement for Alphonso Davies, who could make the switch to Real Madrid.

Hernandez, who has an impressive tally of 29 goals and 38 assists in 205 appearances for AC Milan, is out of contract in 2026.

Reports in Italy suggest that there has been no communication from Milan to Theo Hernandez's agent regarding a contract renewal, while Davies looks pretty set on making a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
