👉 Abneymars wanted: The most valuable free agents in football | OneFootball

100 million for Ekitiké, 150 million for Wirtz, and so on: Are they all crazy? Absolutely. Especially because the following ten gentlemen listed here will be available for free starting June 30. So, let's take a look at the currently most valuable free agents.

Note: The dictionary 'German - Transfermarkt; Transfermarkt - German' doesn't translate “für umme” as “free,” but rather as “absurdly high signing bonus plus out-of-this-world salary,” but you still save the usual fantasy transfer fees with the following top stars.

10th Place: Neymar

Just in February, the now 33-year-old returned to his home club FC Santos after eleven and a half years. However, the initial euphoria wasn't very sustainable, as he only managed three goals and three assists in 17 appearances. Since Neymar is eager to be part of Carlo Ancelotti's Seleção for the 2026 World Cup, his agent now needs to quickly find a club where his client can present himself better. 'transfermarkt.de' currently values the former Barça and PSG star at 15 million euros.

9th Place: Kyle Walker-Peters

Kyle Walker-Peters may not be a big name, especially compared to Neymar, but he is currently valued at the same market price. Instead of a 33-year-old dribbler, you get a 28-year-old fast right-back in Walker-Peters, who is not only Premier League-tested but also a two-time English international. He is still under contract with relegated Southampton until June 30.

8th Place: Dominic Calvert-Lewin

A similar package to Walker-Peters: double-barreled name, 28 years old, and Premier League-tested. With Calvert-Lewin, however, you get this package in the center-forward version, although the current Everton professional can also be used as a left winger or in attacking midfield.

He will need to rediscover his scoring touch at his new club: Three goals in 26 league games were recorded for the past season, and 'transfermarkt.de' currently values him at 16 million euros.

7th Place: CJ Egan-Riley

Another Englishman with a double-barreled name, but clearly the biggest bargain of the three: CJ Egan-Riley is not only just 22 years old, but he also comes from Europe's best defense: Burnley FC conceded an incredible 16 goals in 46 league games in 24/25. Why no one has secured this man (market value: 16 million) yet is beyond me.

6th Place: Kevin de Bruyne

We could almost leave Kevin de Bruyne (market value now at 20 million) out of this selection, as signing with Napoli seems to be a done deal according to various reports. However, a club with room in the salary budget could still intervene and ensure that de Bruyne is seen in a color other than light blue for the first time in ten years.

5th Place: Olivier Boscagli

Rumor has it that Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton has secured the services of the French center-back, but nothing official has been announced yet. In the fall of 2024, Boscagli was also linked with BVB and would be a gain for Niko Kovač in any case: The 27-year-old was a regular player for Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven last season.

4th Place: Angel Gomes

With Angel Gomes, the first name says it all, because getting such a player for free is a gift from heaven: The 1.66-meter dribbler has great strengths in dribbling and is also said to play a role in England coach Thomas Tuchel's plans. However, since Gomes recently had trouble getting playing time in Lille, the top clubs are not exactly lining up. Perhaps a Bundesliga club of the caliber of Dortmund/Frankfurt/Leverkusen could make a good catch here.

3rd Place: Tyrick Mitchell

Good left-backs are hard to come by? Mitch please! Without a transfer fee, you can get a top full-back like Tyrick Mitchell, who is only 25 years old and under contract with Crystal Palace for just a few more days (recently won the FA Cup under Glasner), valued at 25 million euros. Although Mitchell is already in talks with Olympique Marseille and AC Milan, there is still a chance to intervene for free.

2nd Place: Leroy Sané

This would be a top-notch free transfer: Although FC Bayern is said to have given the 29-year-old a new offer, as of now, Leroy Sané (market value at 38 million) will be out of contract as of June 30.

1st Place: Jonathan David

Anyone among the top European clubs who hasn't at least tried here is to blame themselves: Jonathan David has scored 16 times in 32 Ligue 1 games, meaning he scores in every other game, is insanely fast, and is only 25 years old. Looking at the rumor mill, a move towards Naples seems likely. One thing is clear: If Napoli signs both de Bruyne and David for free, the Scudetto can make itself comfortable at Vesuvius.
