With the latest FIFA World Cup set to take place in November, many football superstars need transfers to ensure they can board flights to Qatar. While the previous performance of the national team is usually part of the selection process, the club's performance is often the biggest constraint on the selection of players. As a result, players who are not in good form or who are not playing for the club at all are at risk of missing out on the call-up, although they may be capable. England's Paul Gascoin is a perfect example, arguably the most talented player the country has ever seen, but he missed the 1998 World Cup in France. With that in mind, there is a long list of stars looking to move around at the summer transfer window to maximise their chances of representing their country in the greatest game in football.
Maguire - England/Manchester United
England coach Southgate has been supporting Maguire, who started in the Three Lions' most recent friendly against Côte d'Ivoire. However, several fans inside the Wembley Stadium said he should not play due to the centre-back's recent form. Maguire's recent performances at Manchester United have been lower than expected, but his previous performances in England have allowed him to maintain a place in the squad. However, if the 29-year-old is replaced this summer and there is no guaranteed game time next season, Southgate may not take him to Qatar.
Marcus Rashford - England/Manchester United
Marcus Rashford is another Manchester United player who risks missing out on england in the next World Cup. In addition to that, given that Rashford has been excluded from the squad for recent matches and that he has a rich manpower reserve in his position, he is at a higher risk. It appears Southgate has realised the winger doesn't deserve a place in the squad, meaning a summer transfer could be the only way to force him back into the coaching programme. Arsenal are reportedly interested in the 24-year-old and could benefit greatly from a fresh start after several troublesome seasons at Old Trafford.
Ndombele-Tottenham/France
Ndombele's Tottenham career appears to be over, especially if Antonio Conte continues to take the helm after this summer. The Frenchman did not fit Conte's plans, and his attitude and defensive efficiency were often questioned during his time with The North London side. As a result, the midfielder needs to find a new place in the next transfer window so he can showcase his talent next season. Ndombele has great ability but needs to be in good shape between August and November to beat strong opponents such as Paul Pogba and Rabiot.
Werner-Chelsea/Germany
Werner's career at Chelsea has stalled and his national team career is at risk. For now, the striker appears to be one of Flick's favorites and scored in his previous win over Israel. However, if this continues into next season, his lack of playing time at the Blues could become a problem. As a result, Werner needs a transfer, preferably back in the Bundesliga, where he could lock up his No. 9 spot in Germany at the World Cup in Qatar.
Memphis-Depay-Barcelona/Netherlands
Memphis Depay's goal record at Barcelona is impressive, scoring 10 goals in 15 la Liga games. However, Aubameyang's arrival has lost his popularity under new head coach Xavi. In fact, the Dutchman came in the 71st minute of Barca's 4-0 win over Real Madrid. Thanks to the performances of rivals such as Mullen and Danjuma, it is crucial that Depay leave Camp Nou for a destination that will allow him to flourish in the next season.
