Kounde has caught the eye of many big clubs across Europe courtesy of his rock-solid performances over the last couple of seasons. According to reports, the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in luring the defender away from La Liga in 2022.

So far this season, the 23-year-old has made 21 appearances for Sevilla across all competitions, recording one assist to his name. It remains to be seen what the future has in store for him.

#4 Isco

The attacker seems to be on his way out of La Liga

The Real Madrid playmaker is currently enduring a difficult situation at the Santiago Bernabeu. Isco has been relegated to a bit-part role under Carlo Ancelotti this season. The Spaniard has made just seven appearances for the La Liga giants across all competitions so far, with only two coming from the start.
