Many players who played in their last world cup or international game for their country are still playing for their club. On the other hand, many players have ended their careers this year. Some could have played for many more years, but due to injuries and health issues, they are forced to retire. As 2022 draws to a close, let's take a look at some of the top players who retired in 2022.
Top Xi Players Who Retired in 2022.
Foster, goalkeeper (35 years).
Defenders: Badstuber (33), Pique (35), and Koscielny (35). (37 years).
Ramires (35), Jack Wilshere (30), and Diego (37 years).
Franck Ribery (39 years) and Arda Turan (35 years).
Forwards: Gonzalo Higuain (35 years) and Carlos Tevez (38 years).
The team's youngest player, however, is Jack Wilshere, who retired this year at the age of 30. Wilshere's case is one of the most discussed topics in football. Injuries sidelined him for weeks during his time at Arsenal, and the club had no choice but to let him go. Sergio Aguero's case at Barcelona is to blame for his early retirement.

Chelsea planning surprise move for No.7 France internationa
Chelsea has expressed interest in Kylian Mbappe. The London giants have joined Real Madrid and Manchester United in signing PSG's 2022 FIFA World Cup finalist for next year. France international is arguably the best footballer in the world, having risen to superstardom in the last half-decade.
Mbappe had a modest start at Monaco but helped the club win the Ligue 1 title in his first full season. Kylian also joined PSG from Monaco at the start of the 2017/18 season. Since then, the 24-year-old forward has grown in stature and is having a fantastic 2022/23 season.This season, the French forward has 19 goals and five assists in 20 games across all tournaments. He also won the Golden Boot at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, only to come up just short in the final. Meanwhile, the Frenchman is uneasy at PSG, which has tipped off Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea.
Real Madrid came close to signing Kylian during the summer transfer window before he famously snubbed them in order to sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain. According to recent reports, Los Blancos are no longer interested in signing Mbappe. Florentino Perez, however, is keeping an eye on the forward's situation at PSG.Meanwhile, the Blues will look to bolster their offensive line next season, with Nkunku being the first to sign. However, with several attackers underperforming, Graham Potter requires more resources. And the 2022 World Cup finalist is the ideal candidate to bolster Chelsea's attack.
