One or two of the national team players could also use the European Championship as a showcase to promote themselves. Which Swiss player could be in line for a transfer? blue Sport does the check.

Yann Sommer

He feels right at home in Milan and still has a contract with Inter until 2026. A departure seems out of the question.

Gregor Kobel

Kobel only extended his contract with Borussia Dortmund in October 2023 until 2028.

Yvon Mvogo

Despite some outstanding performances from Mvogo, Lorient were unable to stay in Ligue 1 and were relegated. It is clear to the goalkeeper that he must now move on. And he has also been given transfer clearance by the club. There are said to be several interested parties, in Ligue 1 there is talk of Nantes and Nice. Celtic Glasgow and Parma are also said to be interested in Mvogo.

Yvon Mvogo is likely to leave Lorient despite having a contract until 2025.

Manuel Akanji

He is a permanent fixture at Manchester City and has a contract until 2027, so there is no reason to look for a new challenge.

Fabian Schär

Schär only extended his contract with Newcastle until 2025 in January. A departure this summer would come as a surprise.

Ricardo Rodriguez

With strong performances at the European Championships, the 31-year-old was able to promote his own cause. It is still unclear where Rodriguez will continue his career. His contract with Torino has expired. There are several interested parties, but the left-footer is still waiting for the right offer. And if that doesn't come? "Then I could just as well stay at home and look after my family," he recently told blue Sport. However, he would prefer to play for a few more years. Saudi Arabia is also an option.

Cédric Zesiger

In the past season, Zesiger was not always a regular in Wolfsburg. But when Ralph Hasenhüttl took over from Niko Kovac in March, the Swiss player became a regular. His contract runs until 2027.

Nico Elvedi

0 European Championship minutes - Elvedi is one of the big losers for the national team in Germany. Yet he wanted to recommend himself for bigger tasks at the European Championships. Although his contract with Gladbach runs until 2027, Elvedi makes no secret of the fact that he feels ready for a new challenge. "I'll be honest: if something interesting comes along, I'll listen to it," he told Sport Bild ahead of the European Championships. He could leave Borussia this summer via a release clause for the fixed sum of ten million euros. Premier League club Wolverhampton are said to be interested.

Leonidas Stergiou

VfB Stuttgart have exercised their option to buy Stergiou, who was previously on loan from St. Gallen (€2 million), and have signed him to a contract until 2028.

Silvan Widmer

He is captain at Mainz and is actually a permanent fixture, but new coach Bo Henriksen did not always back the 31-year-old (contract until 2026) after his arrival. A move would still come as a surprise.

Denis Zakaria

When Zakaria plays under Adi Hütter, he delivers. That was the case at YB, Gladbach and, since last summer, Monaco. No reason to consider a transfer - especially as his contract is valid until 2028.

Adi Hütter and Denis Zakaria - a perfect match.

Granit Xhaka

Fantastic season with Leverkusen, fantastic European Championship with Switzerland. It would come as no surprise if a top club were to come around the corner with a killer offer for the national team captain. But Xhaka is also in good hands with the German champions. He still has four years left on his contract at Leverkusen.

Ardon Jashari

His transfer from Lucerne to Club Brugge has been clear for weeks. The Belgian club will pay 6 million euros for the midfielder's services.

Michel Aebischer

He has developed fantastically in Italy and can now even play in the Champions League with Bologna. Unless another club lures Aebischer away with a good offer. More realistic is probably an early extension of his contract beyond 2026.

Remo Freuler

Like Aebischer, he has also had a great season with Bologna and a strong European Championship. Bologna took up the option to buy Freuler, who was previously on loan from Nottingham, and paid €4.5 million.

Vincent Sierro

He is an absolute top performer and captain at Toulouse. At 28, is Sierro ready for the next step? His contract runs until 2026.

Fabian Rieder

The 22-year-old really caught the eye at the European Championships. Germany's runners-up Stuttgart made a move during the tournament and secured Rieder's services on loan for at least a year.

Xherdan Shaqiri

Shaqiri spoke about his situation in Chicago before the European Championship and made no secret of the fact that he would like to play in Europe again. His contract runs until the end of the year. A transfer will take place then at the latest. But most likely as early as this summer. Will he go to Saudi Arabia? Or back to FC Basel?

Noah Okafor

At AC Milan, Okafor has so far not been more than a supplementary player. Would a move to a smaller club possibly be the right thing to give him a fresh start? At Milan, however, Paulo Fonseca is the new coach on the sidelines. Perhaps a new opportunity for Okafor.

Ruben Vargas

After five years at Augsburg, the time seems ripe for the next step. Ligue 1 club Stade Rennes are said to be keen on Vargas, according to L'Équipe. A transfer fee of 7.5 million euros is being mooted. His contract in Augsburg runs until 2025.

Dan Ndoye

He was the Swiss high-flyer at the European Championships and is also in the notebooks of Inter Milan, Juventus Turin and Manchester United thanks to his strong season at Bologna. Jonas Omlin, who knows Ndoye from the national team, recently told blue Sport that he believes the 23-year-old is capable of moving to a top club: "He didn't play against just any defenders at the European Championships, they were the best. And if you can outplay even them, you can do it in other leagues and teams too. He has what it takes." Bologna are said to be willing to talk from 25 million euros. Ndoye's contract is still valid until 2027.

Steven Zuber

Zuber turns 33 in August. It is possible that he will end his career in Greece. He still has a contract with AEK Athens until 2025.

Renato Steffen

Things are going well at Lugano. At almost 33, Steffen is still an undisputed regular in Ticino and his contract is valid until 2025.

Breel Embolo

Embolo missed almost the entire season with a cruciate ligament rupture. However, he was able to show just how valuable he can be at the European Championships. A departure from Monaco, where he is still under contract until 2026, is hardly on the cards.

Zeki Amdouni

Amdouni only moved to England a year ago. However, Burnley have now been relegated. Does he want to help the club regain promotion to the Premier League or open the next chapter? His contract runs until 2028.

Kwadwo Duah

The surprise man par excellence at the European Championship. Hardly anyone expected Duah to be called up - and then he was in the starting eleven against Hungary and even scored the opening goal. The 27-year-old is still under contract with Ludogorets in Bulgaria until 2026, but dreams of Serie A. Duah has changed clubs almost every year since 2017. Will the next transfer follow this summer?
