Now, as the FIFA World Cup comes to a close, it is no secret that this competition has included the most surprises and thrills. These are what several prestigious European clubs are monitoring since little-known about players got an opportunity to showcase their skills.

Many outstanding players have come to the fore throughout this World Cup and showcased their talent on the field. Many organisations are keeping an eye on potential recruits, and rumours have already started to surface in the headlines.

A dozen players will be available for high-value transfers in the January transfer window. Who are they?

Enzo Fernandez of Benfica has aided in bolstering Argentina’s midfield, much like Mac Allister has done. He is currently Europe’s most sought-after midfielder, with numerous elite clubs keen to sign him.

While Barcelona, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Manchester United are all reportedly interested in signing him, Liverpool seems to be the front-runner after he scored once and provided an assist in six World Cup 2022 matches.

JOAO FELIX

Joao Felix scored one goal and provided one assist. His performance was commendable enough to signal and entice many clubs as he considers leaving Atletico Madrid if Diego Simeone stays as coach.

Sadly, Morocco knocked Portugal from the tournament in the quarterfinals. Atletico Madrid is looking for a new team, and there are multiple offers from United and Arsenal. The La Liga heavyweights are eager to offload their high-priced acquisition in the January transfer window.

ISMAILA SARR

Ismaila Sarr was an underrated player before he moved to Watford. But many people had forgotten how dangerous he was. He once piqued the curiosity of several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, who ultimately decided to go with Diego Jota.

At the World Cup, he was at his best, causing havoc for defenders as he led Senegal out of the group stage. Even though Watford will set the player’s initial price due to his outstanding World Cup performance, Everton is getting ready to sign him in the January transfer window.

ADRIEN RABIOT

The Juventus midfielder has struggled at his club and has previously been a target of Manchester United of the Premier League. However, Adrien Rabiot has excelled at the World Cup and is one of the best.

One of their top midfielders is him. Newcastle has showed interest in Rabiot, whose contract expires next summer.

SOFYAN AMRABAT

In the World Cup semifinal match between Morocco and France, Sofyan Amrabat is having a fantastic tournament. His motivation will be to lead his nation to its first World Cup final.

Amrabat is a complete midfielder with flare, and his contribution has aided Morocco in the middle and when playing against powerful nations. With Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp ecstatic about his performance, he is likely on the radar of several clubs.

And Nordin Amrabat, his brother, has said that he should join PSG. He is wholly concentrated on the semifinal matchup versus France for the time being, but it remains to be seen.

YUNUS MUSAH

In the United States’ journey to the round of 16, Musah stood out, and this World Cup has been a significant experience for the young player. One of the best players for the USA versus Wales and England, he is currently a Valencia player. If his desired price equals theirs, Chelsea and Arsenal might compete for the New York-born midfielder.

ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER

When he was introduced, the Brighton player rapidly established himself as Argentina’s most important midfielder, starting each match and contributing a goal and an assist during this World Cup.

He has assisted Enzo Fernandez, a crucial component of Argentina’s midfield, in bringing some serenity to the area in the middle of the field.

Tottenham has indicated interest in the 23-year-old, who will be looking to leave Brighton in search of better success. But the Sunday World Cup final is the focus for the Brighton player.

DOMINIK LIVAKOVIC

Despite coming into the game more later than anticipated, Livakovic will surely become a sought-after goalkeeper in Europe as a result of his valiant efforts against Japan and Brazil.

He is the only World Cup player to have stopped more penalties against Brazil than any other. Livakovic has performed admirably, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he were named the tournament’s goalie of the year. The Bundesliga’s top teams reportedly already have plans to lure him to Bayern Munich in the January transfer window.

JUDE BELLINGHAM

Before the tournament, Jude Bellingham was being pursued by Liverpool and Real Madrid, but following his performance, additional teams would join the race. With one goal in five games, Bellingham showed that he is more than simply a midfielder.

At age 19, he possesses a plethora of skill, and whoever team contracts him will solve their midfield dilemma for the next 20 years. His World Cup performance established him as the best midfielder in the world.

JOSKO GVARDIOL

Nobody was aware of Gvardiol until he demonstrated his defensive acumen against Belgium and Brazil, helping his team advance to the World Cup 2022 semifinals.

Despite just being 20 years old, he played like a seasoned professional for Croatia and was also named the competition’s top defender.

In defence of an ageing Croatian team against offensive teams like Belgium, Morocco, and Brazil, Gvardiol played like a fortress. The likes of Manchester United, City, Chelsea, and Liverpool are among the Premier League teams already vying for his signature.
