A superb season for Valencia, who finished third in La Liga behind Real
Madrid and Barcelona, has helped to strengthen Jordi Alba's reputation.
He has also recently established himself as first choice in Vicente Del
Bosque's La Roja side.
But at club level, the 23-year-old is
stalling on a new contract and has been heavily linked with his first
club Barca as a replacement for Eric Abidal as the Frenchman recovers
from a liver transplant. A good run at the finals will make him no more
familiar to the Catalans but could well persuade them he has enough
class to play regularly at the very top of the game.

With his loan spell with Zenit having just come to an end, Arshavin's
plans reach their crossroads with Russia's Euro 2012 assault. Given the
impact he had at the last European finals, one suspects that another
great run will help to attract more interest in the pocket dynamo as
Arsenal look to offload him.
Zenit could well look to make his
move permanent after he enjoyed a successful spell at Petrovsky Stadium,
but the Gunners could well cash in on a bigger bid should he prove to
still have the old magic in Group A and beyond.

The full-back has hinted that he is likely to leave his home nation
after the Euros, regardless of his or his country's form in the finals.
He looked set to move to Russia at one stage during the January transfer
window earlier this year, but it came to nothing.
However, his
recent proclamation suggests that any interest will be taken seriously,
and with his star having risen to great heights after his outstanding
run in the Czech league this year, a half-decent showing in the finals
could well see him on the move.

Giovinco has had a season to remember at club level, and the European
Championship could well be the place where his immediate future is
settled. Juventus still own 50 per cent of the rights for the player,
who is co-owned by Parma, and while Inter hold a candle for the 'Atomic
Ant', the Bianconeri could make moves to ensure their traditional rivals
do not get their hands on their asset.
Whether he has a
long-term place in Turin is yet to become clear, but a promising display
in the Azzurri shirt could well help to persuade Juve coach Antonio
Conte that Giovinco has a future in his first XI.

The centre-back sprung to the attention of many on the continent in
Schalke's magnificent run to the Champions League semi-finals in 2011,
and Bayern spent much of last summer flirting with the idea of making a
move for Howedes.
Talk of a move to Bavaria has returned, but
both FCB and Schalke have denied there have been talks regarding the
player. His current club do have good cover options, though, so if his
price were to go up off the back of a good performance in Poland and
Ukraine, they could well sell.

After a phenomenal season in Dortmund's Bundesliga-winning campaign, the
striker has aroused the attention of some top clubs, with Manchester
United thought to be particular admirers. Dortmund are not keen sellers
of their top assets, but Lewandowski is thought to have some interest in
moving on.
The player's agent stated recently that his client
could move, but not if Dortmund are unwilling to sell, meaning that the
ball is in the German champions' court. However, a good Euro 2012 could
see increased attention in the player, which could force BVB's hand.

The versatile Athletic Bilbao man has been linked with a number of
Europe's biggest clubs in recent times, including Real Madrid, Bayern
Munich and several sides in the Premier League, notably the two
Manchester teams.
Although he is fast becoming one of Europe's
hottest properties, the former Osasuna youngster has a release clause of
€40m and Athletic have no real reason to sell their versatile World Cup
winner. At the moment, he looks set to stay, but his future may depend
on the club's ability to hang onto their other stars and the future of
coach Marcelo Bielsa. A star showing in more Spain success could also
see his suitors raise their bid closer to Athletic's asking price.

After what feels like a decade of rumours, this looks set to be the
summer when Yann M'Vila finally leaves Rennes. The constant speculation
of the past few years has come about from his consistent performances at
the heart of the midfield for both club and country, and a few more
displays at a similar level would make his departure even more of a
formality.
Arsenal are the club most closely associated in him
right now, but if Les Bleus can fix their image with the No.17 at the
wheel, then Rennes and M'Vila could find themselves spoilt for choice in
negotiations come July.

The Porto defender originally looked set for a move last summer, but a
transfer failed to materialise as his club held out for the €30m in his
release clause. Roma have now been credited with an interest again, but
they will have to come to an agreement with the Portuguese champions,
who may let the player leave as a result of his disappointing season at
the Estadio do Dragao.
A good tournament for the defender with
Portugal would surely be encouraging news all round, with Rolando
looking to improve his reputation, Roma needing to better their defence,
and Porto hoping to get good money for their asset.

The star midfielder has an ongoing contract with PSV, so won't be
available on the cheap, but there have been a number of links with top
clubs already this summer. Manchester United, AC Milan and Inter are
said to be among the interested parties, and his perceived value could
be set to sky rocket should he manage to win a fair amount of playing
time with the Oranje in the next five weeks.
He will face stiff
competition from Nigel De Jong and Mark van Bommel in his bid for
regular football in Poland and Ukraine, but if he can make an impression
then his chances of a big-money move can surely only grow.

Like club teammate Strootman, Ola Toivonen will have been discouraged by
PSV's inability to reach the Champions League for 2012-13, and admitted
earlier in May that he would have a hard time playing in the Europa
League. This has fuelled speculation that he will ask his agent to find
him a new job come the culmination of the European Championship.
The
attacking midfielder has made quite a reputation for himself in the
Netherlands, and was also one of the keys to Sweden's qualification for
the finals with his displays in the centre, and another month of top
performances could leave him with several options to choose from when
pondering his club future.

The full-back has admitted that his time with Ajax is all but over, with
his contract up in June 2013 and no intention from the player to extend
the deal.
Talks with Valencia seem to have broken down, while he
has also turned down Roma. Real Madrid are still heavily linked with an
approach, while there is also significant interest coming from England.
Van der Wiel is likely to get a decent run in the Dutch side over the
next month, meaning there will be plenty of chances for him to catch the
eye of potential future employers.

The former Liverpool striker has announced that he is almost certain to
leave Dinamo Moscow after losing his place in the team. His stay in the
east of Europe looks set to come to an end, with the forward likely to
hold out for a return to the west of the continent.
It now
remains to be seen what sort of impact Voronin can have with the
co-hosts in order to attract further attention. At the age of 32, he is
unlikely to receive too many long-term offers, so a big finals
tournament could see him rewarded with a final fling in one of the
leading leagues in Europe.
