The 2024 summer transfer window saw several high-profile players move on free transfers and the same could happen in 2025.

Kylian Mbappe, Thiago Silva and Olivier Giroud all moved on Bosman deals in 2024, while Toni Kroos and Thiago Alcantara opted to retire upon the expiration of their contracts at Real Madrid and Liverpool.

The summer of 2025 could be as equally eye-catching in regards to free transfers.

Currently, some of the world’s best players are due to become free agents in July 2025.

Liverpool legend Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the verge of joining Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season, while Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk also see their deals expire. It is now looking increasingly possible that Liverpool will lose all three of their stars.

Arsenal are set to lose Thomas Partey and Jorginho, while Man City could lose a legend in Kevin de Bruyne, as well as Ilkay Gundogan.

Man Utd are expected to release Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen and Jonny Evans.

Real Madrid see Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez's contracts expire and both could leave.

In Germany, Leroy Sane at Bayern Munich and Jonathan Tah at Bayer Leverkusen are two big names who have their contracts expiring.
