As the Summer Transfer window approaches, there are sure to be quite a few major additions to Premier League teams.
At the same time, however, there are rumored to be some major Premier League departures as well.
It’s yet to be seen whether all of these rumored departures could come to fruition, but there are plenty of names to keep an eye on.
Sergio Aguero – Manchester City’s 10-Year Servant
As Manchester City works towards another Premier League title win, one of their biggest names has not seen much of the field.
Sergio Aguero has only made 6 appearances so far in the Premier League as he has spent most of the year out injured. At this point, he seems destined for a move away from the EPL.
Aguero will have no shortage of suitors; being linked with Barcelona, PSG and a return to Argentina.
It will be sad to see a legend leave the Premier League after 10 years of service to the Manchester club, but it may be best for both parties as City look for a replacement.
Harry Kane – Tottenham might be losing their most valuable asset
This is probably the most interesting transfer rumor of all potential summer exits.
With Mauricio Pochettino the new manager at PSG it’s possible he could look to bring his former player to France.
It would take a tremendous sum in excess of €150 million to pry him away from Tottenham.
But if Harry Kane decides that he would prefer a move away, then it could open up the possibility for a permanent exit from English top-flight football.
Roberto Firmino – Poor form could be the demise of his Anfield career
It seems likely that at least one of Liverpool’s vaunted front 3 will leave the club this summer.
Of the 3 attackers, Firmino is probably the least valuable to the team at this point.
So far there aren’t any concrete links between Firmino and other clubs.
But Liverpool seems set to target a new striker in the summer as they attempt to rebound after a poor season in the Premier League.
This could leave Firmino as the odd man out and one of many potential Premier League departures this summer.
Georginio Wijnaldum – No Contract, no problem for Gini
The final player on this list is Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Liverpool midfielder is on an expiring contract and looks set to leave the club this summer.
There are sure to be plenty of teams interested in him as he will be able to sign on a free transfer.
One club that has shown interest in the past is Barcelona. They were rumored to be interested in Wijnaldum when Ronald Koeman was hired as the manager last year summer.
Gini Wijnaldum about his contract: “At the moment there is no news. It's not that I'm not happy that I have to leave, I’m happy here. But it's not as easy as people think... you have to negotiate with the club and there are a lot of factors”. No agreement, as of today. 🔴 #lfc

It’s yet to be seen if they will reignite their interest, but there will surely be more clubs coming in to attempt to sign him.
