The
transfer window offers clubs the opportunity to improve their sides
before the beginning of next season. However, it also brings the risk of
losing important players, and that risk is even higher as player's
contracts start to run down.
Here are six players that are out of contract with their clubs in 2017, and could be picked up for a bargain by the best placed club.

6. Fernandinho
Fernandinho has been one of Manchester City's most important players
since they signed the Brazilian midfielder from Shakhtar Donetsk back in
2013.
His mixture of attacking prowess and defensive intelligence has been vital to the Etihad side, however his place in the city squad could be up for grabs should new manager Pep Guardiola decide not to renew his contract before it expires next year.

5. Saido Berahino
It seems as though whenever the transfer window is open, Saido
Berahino's name is one that is almost always mentioned. The English
striker has been subject to a lot of interest from clubs such as
Tottenham Hotspur, however West Brom have always been unwilling to sell
up.
They may decide to change their tune however if Berahino decides not to renew his contract at the Hawthorns. West Brom may be put in the position to sell him or let him leave the club for nothing.

4. Marko Arnautovic
Marko
Arnautovic was a huge part of Stoke City's impressive Premier League
campaign last season. The former Champions League winner was Stoke's top
scorer last season with 11 goals in 34 league appearances.
However, some of the Brittania faithful have been sweating over the future of the Austrian international as he hasn't signed a new contract at the club yet.
Manager Mark Hughes will surely be pulling out all the stops to keep his star man at the club, or risk losing him for nothing next year.

3. John Obi Mikel
John Obi Mikel was part of one of the strangest transfer sagas in recent
history when he made a u-turn on signing for Manchester United to join
Chelsea instead. Since then Mikel has won everything he possibly can at
Stamford Bridge.
The defensive midfielder could be kept out of the Chelsea first-team this season in favour of Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and N'golo Kante. This could see the Nigerian's time at Chelsea come to an end.

2. Laurent Koscielny
Laurent Koscielny signed for Arsenal back in 2010 from Lorient. Since
then he has become a vital part of Arsene Wenger's defence and has
established himself as a professional and reliable centre-half.
Talks over a new contract at the Emirates have stalled in recent weeks, and news of interest from Bayern Munich could see the French international leave London sooner rather than later.

1. Yaya Toure
Yaya Toure has been one of Manchester City's best players since he
joined the club from Barcelona back in 2010. He was with the club when
City won their first league title in 2012, and won it again in 2014.
His future at the club is in doubt however, as Pep Guardiola was the manager who sold him at Barcelona. The Ivorian international has also been linked with a move away from Manchester for the past few seasons.
