Let’s take a look at the best players who could secure a free transfer mid-season.
As football fans eagerly anticipate the opening of the 2024 January transfer window, clubs across the globe are scouting potential talents to bolster their squads.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the best players who are currently available for a free move.
5- Jerome Boateng
Boateng has stayed out of work since the expiration of his contract at Lyon in July. The World Cup winner almost secured a move back to Bayern Munich. But pressure from the club’s fan base ultimately prevented them from completing the transfer.
4- Jesse Lingard
Lingard left Nottingham Forest as a free agent after spending a year at City Ground. Despite the initial reports linking Lingard with a possible return to West Ham, it seems the 30-year-old’s most likely destination is Saudi Arabia.
3- Nico Schulz
Schulz has been available as a free agent since Borussia Dortmund terminated his contract at the end of the 2022-23 season. The German left-back hopes to revive his career after a disastrous spell with the Black and Yellows.
2- Andre Ayew
Ayew returned to the Premier League on a January move to Nottingham Forest last season, but the club decided not to extend his six-month deal. The 33-year-old has nonetheless maintained his place in Ghana’s squad, with GFA confirming the Black Stars captain is “in talks with several clubs” over a possible mid-season move.
1- David de Gea
De Gea has been unable to find a new club since ending his 12-year spell at Manchester United. Bayern Munich were reportedly considering a move for the Spaniard in the summer but ultimately decided to sign a younger goalkeeper. De Gea has offers from Saudi Arabia but he’s seemingly waiting for another opportunity in Europe.
