Picked for England by Thomas Tuchel despite recent injury issues, Stones has most recently been linked with former club <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/everton\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Everton<\/a> and Italian giants AC Milan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Mohamed Salah, 33 (Last club: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/liverpool\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Salah&#8217;s last few months at Anfield were not easy as his relationship with boss Arne Slot appeared to disintegrate. Both have now left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/liverpool\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a>. It was widely expected Salah would move to the Saudi Pro League once the World Cup was over but he has since been linked with a move to Turkish club Besiktas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Jadon Sancho, 26 (Last club: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/manchester-united\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester United<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It has been a turbulent few years for Sancho since joining United from Borussia Dortmund for \u00a373m in 2021 and he has spent the last two and-a-half years playing elsewhere on loan, most recently at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/aston-villa\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aston Villa<\/a> following a lacklustre period at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a>.

He is reportedly keen on staying in the Premier League, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/fulham\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fulham<\/a> said to be interested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Stefan Ortega, 33 (Last club: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/nottingham-forest\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nottingham Forest<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/manchester-city\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester City<\/a> number two goalkeeper Ortega made 10 appearances across all competitions for Forest last season. A move to Greek side Olympiacos is potentially close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Tyrell Malacia, 26 (Last club: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/manchester-united\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester United<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A difficult four-year spell at United for the Dutch left-back was marred by injuries and long stints on the sidelines. A chronic knee issue requiring surgery kept him out for over 500 days, causing him to miss the entire 2023\u201324 campaign. He has made just 11 appearances across all competitions since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Adama Traore, 30 (Last club: West Ham)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Traore was released by the Hammers in the wake of their relegation to the Championship after just six months at the club.
