MANY of Europe’s top clubs will be looking for a bargain this summer instead of the huge fees usually quoted for star players.
And you can be sure that clubs will take full advantage of those players’ whose release clauses are lower than their market value.
In figures obtained by the Daily Mail, here is a rundown of the ten best deals on offer in the next transfer window.
1. Erling Braut Haaland (£63m) – Borussia Dortmund
The 19-year-old has burst on the scene this season, with 28 goals in 22 games for Red Bull Salzburg earning him a January move to Dortmund.
And his stock has continued to rise in Germany, with the Norwegian international already netting eight goals in five games.
It has been claimed that Haaland insisted on putting the clause in his contract, leaving Manchester United hope of securing him in the future.

2. Timo Werner (£51m) – RB Leipzig
The German international seems destined to leave in the summer, with Liverpool reportedly ready to go all out for him.
Werner, 23, has been in stunning form this term – chipping in with 25 goals and ten assists in 30 games in all competitions.
With Chelsea also in the hunt for a new striker, the ex-Stuttgart man could be the perfect alternative to Moussa Dembele.

3. Thomas Partey (£43.5m) – Atletico Madrid
Partey, 26, has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with United and Arsenal known to be admirers of the Ghana international.
His dad last year revealed the midfielder wants to play in England, and the combative player would certainly add steel to any side.
Tied down at the Wanda Metropolitano until 2023, he could decide to jump ship this summer if an opportunity arises.

4. Marc Roca (£33.8m) – Espanyol
The central midfielder, 23, has been heavily linked with Bayern Munich in recent windows.
And with the Spanish side sitting bottom of LaLiga, it’s unlikely the prospect of second division football would be appealing to him.
Part of the Spain squad that won the Euro U-21 championship last year, it’s only a matter of time before a European powerhouse snaps him up.

5. Unai Nunez (£25.5m) – Athletic Bilbao
Another 23-year-old starring in LaLiga, Nunez has been at Bilbao since joining the youth academy in 2007.
The centre-back made his international debut for Spain in September, and the player could be named in Luis Enrique’s Euro 2020 squad.
And should he impress at this summer’s tournament, you can be certain he will have no shortage of admirers.

6. Lorenzo Pellegrini (£25m) – Roma
The Italian midfielder, 23, has been in stunning form for Roma this season, contributing three goals and 11 assists in 21 games.
Capable of playing anywhere in the middle of the pitch, Pellegrini’s versatility will certainly make him an attractive option for club.

7. Hwang Hee-chan (£20m) – Red Bull Salzburg
Having seen Haaland and Takumi Minamino leave Salzburg in January, the Austrian side were reluctant to let the 24-year-old depart.
Wolves have been linked with the South Korean star, who could be a replacement for Adama Traore.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are understood to be fans of the striker, who has netted nine goals and provided 15 assists this campaign.

8. Chimy Avila (£20m) – Osasuna
The Argentinian striker netted 11 goals in 22 games before a knee injury he picked up last month ruled him out for the rest of the season.
Blessed with pace, movement and good finishing, the 25-year-old will certainly be a smart signing for any club to make.

The 25-year-old goalkeeper has kept eight clean sheets in 22 LaLiga games this season.
Having represented Portugal at U-19, U-20 and U-21 levels, Silva has been tipped to become full international in the near future.

Schalke and Villarreal are claimed to be interested in the player.
