As the football season is coming to an end, it's now time for the trasnfer window to open.The Premier League's transfer window is now officially open, while it's June 9 for  France, July 1 for Italy and Germany, and July 2 for Spain.

As always, there is a selection of elite players who are now out of contract or entering the final weeks of their deals and whose future remains up in the air. Here is the list of those.

1.Pepe Reina (Napoli)

Spanish goalkeeper has kept 18 clean sheets in 36 league matches for Napoli. It looks like he'll make the move to Milan but nothing has been confirmed as yet.

2.Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus)

Though his Juventus contract is about to expire, he could yet remain at the Italian champions or could move to another European team. He has been linked with Chelsea.

3.Andrea Barzagli (Juventus)

37 year old Barzagli has been in talks over a new contract since January.Though all likelihood is that he will sign in the end, Juve have been surprisingly content to allow his deal to tick down in such a way.

4.Kwadwo Asamoah (Juventus)

The 29 year old Ghanaian has been linked with Inter Milan in Italy, as well as Premier League sides Everton and Tottenham.

5.Emre Can (Liverpool)

Can has been linked with Juventus. He is set to leave Liverpool after 4 seasons.

6.Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United)

After five years at Manchester United Fellaini is set to leave MU this summer. Fellaini has been outspoken in his annoyance that United didn't offer him a contract extension sooner and Milan are among the interested parties.

 7.Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace)

The French midfielder, played his part in lifting Crystal Palace from relegation certainties to Premier League survivors, but is out of contract next month.Though he is expected to hold talks with the club over extending his three-year stay at Selhurst Park, Cabaye could leave to elsewhere.

8.Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)

The Gunners have offered Wilshere a deal on reduced terms, but he may be tempted by the promise of more regular football at somewhere like Everton or Wolves.

9.Yaya Toure (Manchester City) Yaya leaves a shining legacy at Manchester City as he bids farewell following seven seasons and three Premier League titles. He might end up either in Major League Soccer or the Chinese Super League. 10.Fernando Torres (Atletico Madrid) The 34 year old former Liverpool star looks likely will leave Atletico after not getting much playing time. At least he's ending his time with lifting the Europa League trophy. 11.Mario Balotelli (Nice)

Other players whose contracts have run down and who could be on the move this summer include Max Meyer of Schalke, Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas, PSG midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa and Fiorentina's Milan Badelj.
