Europe's best clubs are making big-money signings, but they can recoup a portion of the money invested by selling players who have lost importance in their respective squads. Who are they?

Diego Costa (Chelsea)

Antonio Conte sent him a text message to tell him he was surplus to requirements. He scored 20 goals last season and is wanted by Atletico.

Jese Rodriguez (PSG)

He spent six months at Las Palmas last season, but he is back at PSG now. He has begun pre-season training with the Parisian side, but competition is fierce.

Arda Turan (Barcelona)

The Turkey international has not managed to shine at the Camp Nou. Alcacer and Deulofeu are the natural alternatives to the 'MSN' and there are too many midfielders, so he will have to look for a way out.

Lucas Pérez (Arsenal)

He has not travelled with the Arsenal squad for the pre-season tour of Asia and Australia. He did not break into Wenger's starting lineup last season, so his future at the club is uncertain.

Renato Sanches (Bayern Munich)

The Portuguese youngster hardly played in his first season in Munich, and he is trying to decide whether he should be loaned out. AC Milan are interested.

Ben Arfa (PSG)

Ben Arfa has spent most of his time in Paris on the bench and his relationship with Unai Emery is not the best, so he wants to leave the club. He has not joined the team on their tour of the US and Roma have enquired about the midfielder.

Carlos Bacca (AC Milan)

He has lost his place in Milan's lineup with Andre Silva's arrival, and the possible signing of Morata. He did not have a good second half of last season and would have many suitors in Europe.

Stefan Jovetic (Inter)

He wants to return to Sevilla. The striker played half a season at the Andalusian side and Spaletti does not want him at Inter.

Samir Nasri (Manchester City)

After a period on loan at Sevilla, he has returned to City, but he has no place in Guardiola's plans. He will leave the Etihad soon.

Grzegorz Krychowiak (PSG)

Another one of Emery's outcasts. The manager brought him to the Parisian side but he has not delivered. After a dismal season in the Ligue 1 he has missed out on the team's pre-season tour.
