Three of Arsenal’s best players have contract renewals on their mind as well as a title charge. Spurs’ biggest asset and a Man Utd star are also approaching the final year of their deals.
Here are the most valuable players – according to Transfermarkt – who are entering the last 18 months on their contracts…
1) Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)
Real Madrid don’t seem to be panicking about Vinicius Jr’s contract. Both parties spoke about a renewal through much of 2022 and it seems very close, with some reports suggesting in the summer that it was done. But the deal remains unsigned, even if it is just a matter of time.

6) Mason Mount (Chelsea)
Now Todd Boehly has signed all the players, the Chelsea owner will have to give Mount some attention before he wades into the summer market. Mount will have noted the looooooong contracts being dished out to his new team-mates and he will fancy a bit of that before UEFA clamp down on them.
