World Cup transfer targets: Harry Maguire, Benjamin Pavard, Hirving Lozano and more
With attention now turning back towards domestic football, we pick out five players who enhanced their reputations at the World Cup ahead of potential summer transfers…
Clubs all around Europe will now be looking to finalise their transfer business ahead of the new season – but who are the stars of the World Cup that could be on the move?
Here we pick out players who enhanced their reputations on the world stage in Russia ahead of a potential summer transfer…
Benjamin Pavard
Pavard’s stock rose after an excellent World Cup for France. Primarily used as a centre-back for his club Stuttgart, he excelled at right-back for Didier Deschamps’ side, playing the full 90 minutes in all but one of France’s matches.
The 22-year-old, who played 36 times in all competitions for Stuttgart last season, scored one of the goals of the tournament during the last 16 against Argentina, but it was his solid defensive showings that caught the eye and helped France all the way to glory in Russia.
Those performances have seen him linked with a move away from Stuttgart with Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Tottenham to name but a few clubs reportedly interested in snapping him up this summer.
Ante Rebic
Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic rightly took plenty of the plaudits for Croatia’s run to the World Cup final but Rebic, who plays his domestic football for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, was another of the standout performers in Zlatko Dalic’s side.
He played a crucial role in Croatia’s campaign, starting all but one match and he scored once during the tournament in his side’ s 3-0 demolition of Argentina in the group stage.
The 24-year-old, who scored nine goals in 28 games for his club last season, also impressed with his excellent work rate, putting in some tireless performances on the right flank which have reportedly caught the eye of Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham.
Harry Maguire
Seen as one of the potential weak links of the England side before the tournament, Maguire was immense as part of Gareth Southgate’s back three.
A threat in both boxes, the Leicester defender headed every ball that came his way. He even grabbed his first goal for his country in England’s 2-0 victory against Sweden in the last eight.
The 25-year-old’s performances in Russia has seen his estimated market value jump from £25m to £50m, according to strategic advisors to football club boardrooms, 21st club. But that has not put Manchester United off as they are reportedly interested in taking him to Old Trafford, while reports suggest Leicester are set to off him a much-improved contract.
