Top Players Becoming Free Agents in 2025

A number of high-profile footballers will see their contracts expire in June 2025, allowing them to negotiate with other clubs starting now. Here are some of the biggest names who could potentially be on the move:

Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City): The Belgian midfielder is one of the most important players entering the final year of his contract. City is trying to renew his deal, but De Bruyne has been tempted by offers from Saudi Arabia in the past. It remains to be seen if he’ll extend his stay or seek a new challenge.

Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich): The world-class midfielder’s future is uncertain, with his decision expected soon. While he seemed likely to leave Bayern a few months ago, that may have changed. Barcelona and Real Madrid have reportedly shown interest in the German international.

Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich): There’s been controversy around the Canadian fullback’s renewal. Some reports claim he won’t extend his contract, while others say Bayern has made him a big offer. His future remains unclear, with Real Madrid mentioned as a possible destination.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): The Egyptian star has confirmed this will be his last season at Liverpool. At 32, he’s having one of his best campaigns and will likely attract interest from many top clubs.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool): The English fullback has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid. His contract situation and Dani Carvajal’s injury have fueled speculation about a potential transfer.

Jonathan David (Lille): The 24-year-old Canadian striker is having an excellent season in Ligue 1 and has expressed interest in playing for Barcelona in the future.

Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen): The German center-back has attracted interest from top clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich. He’s not expected to renew with Leverkusen, so a move seems likely either in January or June.
