da mrbet: Silly season is set to be a rather frantic one, with heaps of big names either set for a switch or attracting interest from elsewhere
da 888: It’s almost time for the summer transfer window to open and the rumour mill is already in overdrive ahead of what promises to be an eventful few months in the women’s game.
There are already some key deals expected to go through early on, such as Ewa Pajor and Ellie Roebuck joining Barcelona, Spain star Alba Redondo making a switch to Real Madrid and all signs point to Mariona Caldentey joining Arsenal, too. Liga MX Femenil, the top-flight in Mexico, looks set to get in on the action as well, with Barca goalkeeper Sandra Panos one of several big players linked with a move there.
Meanwhile, stars such as Vivianne Miedema and Fran Kirby are set to join new clubs, names like Mary Earps and Lucy Bronze are out of contract and there is even speculation around Aitana Bonmati and Chloe Kelly, among others, as they enter the final year of their respective deals.
There is sure to be a lot going on then, as GOAL picks out the players with situations to keep an eye on…

One of the most high-profile players set to be on the move this summer is Miedema, whose contract was not renewed by Arsenal at the end of the 2023-24 season. That resulted in plenty of questions being asked of the Gunners and head coach Jonas Eidevall, and it has also prompted plenty of interest across Europe in one of the most talented footballers in the game.
Manchester City appear to be leading the race to sign Miedema, who is still only 27 years old, but no decision has been made yet as other top clubs weigh up a move for the Dutchwoman.

There are a number of Manchester United players on this list, with Earps one of several out of contract. The England goalkeeper was the subject of heavy interest from Arsenal last summer, and though those rumours have since gone quiet, there has been little to suggest that she is close to agreeing a new deal with the Red Devils.
Where could she go if she does leave? It’s unclear right now, but it’s certainly interesting and one of the most intriguing transfer sagas there is going into this summer’s window.

Another particularly interesting contract situation is that of Bronze, with some reports suggesting she could leave Barcelona while others believe she will stay.
The England star has openly talked about how much she likes being at the club, but financial regulations mean she may need to take a pay cut in any new deal, with her current one expiring this summer. There are rumours of interest from England and the U.S. should she not be able to agree terms.

One Chelsea star given a memorable farewell in May was Kirby, who has left the club after nine trophy-laden years. There have not been too many rumours regarding potential destinations for the England star since, bar a report that said Arsenal had held brief talks with her, though a deal will not be done there.
This is definitely among the most interesting situations to keep an eye on in this summer transfer window.
