After a rip roaring World Cup campaign which concluded in him pipping PSG teammate Lionel Messi to the World Cup 2022 Golden Boot thanks to a hat-trick in the final game, questions over Mbappe’s future have stirred up once again.

Real Madrid appear to be the Frenchman’s most likely destination should he decide to exit PSG during the January transfer window. Both BetVictor and Paddy Power have him priced at 4/1 to make his “dream move” a reality this month.

BV have gone slightly larger than PP’s 6/1 at 8s for him to join Erling Haaland in the Premier League, but playing in the red of Liverpool instead. Elsewhere, Chelsea is 14/1, Manchester City 20s, and any Italian club or any German club both in the market at 12/1 if you’re keen on a less specific punt.

Similarly to his teammate, Lionel Messi is always the subject of transfer speculation following a significant World Cup outing where the superstar added a Golden Ball trophy to his collection, and more importantly, earned Argentina their third World Cup trophy and first since 1986.

The bookies don’t exactly anticipate Messi making a move in January, but never rule out the possibility. Perhaps it’s because of the recent activity of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo that has left any Saudi Arabian club the joint- favourites to secure Messi’s signature at 14/1 with Paddy Power. Likewise, the firm sees it equally as possible that he will return to Barcelona or choose a reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Chelsea (16/1), Manchester United (20/1) and Liverpool (25/1) round out the betting.

Jude Bellingham’s star continues to rise, and the 19-year-old looks like he has the world at his feet after an impressive showing at his debut World Cup Finals. Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool fans have all been curious about where he might choose to ply his trade once leaving Borussia Dortmund.

But Premier League fans may feel disheartened by the fact that Real Madrid are seen as his most likely destination at 3/1 according to Paddy Power. Despite heavy speculation during WC2022, a deal to Liverpool seems no closer, and both operators have him at 4/1 to sign for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Other Premier League teams are priced as such: Manchester City 9/1, Manchester United 14/1, Newcastle 25/1, and Chelsea 33/1.

West Ham’s struggles have been well documented this term, and their talismanic midfield maestro Declan Rice is even finding it difficult to pull his team out of the mud. Bearing this in mind alongside his exceptional performances for both club and country make it almost inevitable that he will move on to play Champions League football.

The majority of the linked clubs could offer him that step up in European action, with both Manchester United and Chelsea viewed as top suitors at 6/1 with BetVictor. Then, Liverpool and Arsenal find themselves as 8/1 outsiders; neither having expressed any interest on the record before this point.

If you like a wilder punt, any German club is 12/1, Newcastle and Manchester City 16s, or Real Madrid and PSG are available at 20/1.

He might not have kicked a ball for England in Qatar, but Maddison is the glue holding together the current Leicester team. There’s a noticeable difference in their play and a lack of real quality whenever he’s absent, so it’s only natural that some big clubs would come sniffing.

Newcastle are top of that pile at 2/1 in the next club odds market offered by BetVictor. The Magpies are flying high this season, and the allure of potential Champions League football on Tyneside, coupled with a large pay packet, could be enough to persuade him.

Arsenal is next in line at 4/1 - the club sitting at the summit of the Premier League table. The Gunners may only have Europa League football to offer this term, but that could all be about to change in the long run. Life is exciting under Mikel Arteta and Maddison may see himself growing under his coaching, while enjoying a lavish lifestyle in the country’s capital.

Any Italian club, any French club and any German club are all priced up at 12/1 to poach Maddison’s services. Meanwhile, Tottenham are a slightly larger outside shot at 14/1 to secure his signature.
