Summer 2024 will see many famous stars ending their contracts with their host clubs. Among them, there are very highly valued stars like Kylian Mbappe.

The January 2024 transfer window will officially open on Monday (January 1) as clubs across Europe are eyeing deals to improve their squads for the second half of the 2023/24 season. .

Although the Winter transfer window has been significantly quieter than the Summer transfer window, a number of big deals have been completed over the past few seasons.

Enzo Fernandez and Mykhaylo Mudryk joined Chelsea last January for huge fees. Liverpool spent 84.65 million euros to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January 2018. A few days earlier, they let Phillipe Coutinho leave Anfield for Barcelona for 130 million euros.

Some of Europe’s biggest clubs will be active in transfers next month but teams can also approach players whose contracts expire at the end of the 2023/24 season from January 1.

There are plenty of top talents with less than six months left on their contracts. And recently, Transfermarkt created a list of the top 10 players whose contracts are about to expire with the highest value.

At the top is Kylian Mbappe with a valuation of 180 million euros. He is the only star whose contract is about to end and is valued at more than 100 million euros. Those ranked next all cost less than 50 million euros.

Among these, there are notable names such as Adrien Rabiot (40 million euros), Tomas Soucek (35 million euros), Mario Hermoso (25 million euros) or Aaron Wan-Bissaka (20 million euros).
