The summer transfer window is approaching and it will be another busy few months on the transfer front. World football's biggest clubs are expected to spend big money again, while MLS teams will also be in the market for the sport's oldest stars. Major League Soccer has been a reliable destination for senior stars over the past decade, with Messi currently the biggest player in the American top flight. Below, we list five players who could join the Major League Baseball this summer.
Luka Modric (Real Madrid)
Luka Modric has become a rotation player for Real Madrid this season, with his limited appearances at the Santiago Bernabeu fueling rumors of an exit in 2024. A possible return to Croatia has been discussed, although a move to MLS is currently considered more likely. Lionel Messi has reportedly identified Modric as a key target for Inter Miami as the David Beckham-owned club continue to snatch the best aging talent from Europe.
Giroud (Milan)
The 37-year-old Giroud will become a free agent this summer and his current contract with AC Milan will expire at the end of June. A move away is reportedly considered almost 100 per cent certain, with LA Galaxy already emerging as the main contenders to sign the experienced Frenchman, with Giroud verbally agreeing to join the MLS giants. He is expected to join the Los Angeles Galaxy in July.
Neymar (Riyadh Crescent)
Neymar recently admitted he would love to play with Messi again, sparking rumors of a summer move to Inter Miami. The Brazil international only joined Saudi Professional League side Riyadh Crescent last year, but he barely played a game due to injuries.

De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Manchester City midfielder De Bruyne is a summer transfer target for the Saudi Professional League and Major League Soccer, and the Belgian's future at the Etihad Stadium is currently unknown. De Bruyne has just over a year left on his current contract at Manchester City, but he is highly likely to leave Pep Guardiola's side this summer, with MLS clubs said to be interested.
Lewandowski (Barcelona)
Lewandowski has been a reliable goalscorer since joining Barcelona, but the 35-year-old could leave the Spanish giants this summer despite his The existing contract runs until 2026. Roque's arrival in January could end up relegating Lewandowski to second choice at Camp Nou, with MLS clubs also likely to pursue a move this summer.
