As the January transfer window opens, clubs are preparing for summer free-agent opportunities. Several high-profile players, including Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté and Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, are nearing contract expirations in 2026. Konaté's future at Liverpool is uncertain due to a dip in form, with Real Madrid reportedly withdrawing interest. Silva, at 31, is considering a move away from Manchester City, with potential destinations including Barcelona, Benfica, and Saudi Pro League clubs.
