Most Prized Players Who Haven't Moved (Yet)

The transfer window is about to shut for the winter and we have seen some big moves, i.e. Balotelli to Milan, Sturridge to Liverpool amongst the highest profile moves this winter. But there are quite a few players that could yet move before the close of the window or more realistically, in the summer.

Thibaut Courtois
Still a Chelsea player but for how long? This 21 year old Belgian goalkeeper has been a star while at loan at Atletico Madrid but one wonders if he will get the chance to be Petr Cech's heir as he is set to become a future Barcelona and Real Madrid target.


Leighton Baines
Best left back in the Premier League, Baines probably won't leave his boyhood club especially now they're on the cusp of greatness but could possibly be tempted by a move to the continent to a "big" club. Bayern, Barca and Real Madrid have world class left backs so it could be a club like PSG or Milan that could come asking.


Peter Odemwingie
The Baggies target man could become a target for Tottenham and Manchester City as they seek to bolster their striking options.

Jack Butland
Chelsea are interested despite the young GB keeper saying no but will a cash-strapped Birmingham hold off the continued advances from the so should wealthy West London club? Liverpool should be interested too especially if Reina moves to Barca or Real Madrid to replace Valdes or Iker.


Gareth Bale 
Forever linked with Real Madrid, Bale could still go to the Bernabeu especially if Ronaldo goes to PSG.


David Villa
Out of favour under Vilanova, the experienced and still prolific David Vila could be a strong candidate to replace Mario Balotelli at Manchester City.


Isco
Yet another emerging Spanish star, Isco will a target for the big clubs with Malaga looking to sell to cover their losses - a move to Manchester City or PSG is possible.


Neymar
Possibly the biggest star not playing in Europe - but for how long more? Neymar could be David Villa's natural replacement at Barcelona and form a dream duo with Lionel Messi or could end up at the Bernabeu to become their new target man.


Michu
The bargain of the century at Swansea but his next move will be worth a lot, lot, lot more surely - possible Tottenham target.


Joao Moutinho
Surely will be in the Premier League sooner, rather than later. Whether it's at Tottenham remains to be seen.
