Ranked in order of value according to Transfermarkt, here are the 20 biggest stars currently either confirmed free agents or out of contract as of July 1.
It includes some absolutely massive names, but none at Liverpool now.
Who are the best players out of contract in the summer of 2025?
20) Vladimir Coufal (West Ham)
Everton, Leeds and Wolves are among the clubs linked to the Czech right-back.
19) Josh Dasilva (Brentford)
Still recovering from a significant knee injury; he will continue his rehab at the club.
18) Sergio Reguilon (Tottenham)
Spanish left-back leaves Spurs after playing barely 300 minutes of football last season.
17) Ardian Ismaili (Empoli)
Albanian centre-half exited after four years as the Italian club lost their Serie A status.
16) Danny Ings (West Ham)
There have been strong links with Wrexham but he looks good in claret and blue, and Burnley need a striker.
15) Nicolas Tagliafico (Lyon)
There is a lot of interest in the Argentine left-back, both in the Premier League and abroad.
14) Tyrhys Dolan (Blackburn Rovers)
This will be a superb signing for a Championship club.
13) Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton)
After five years at Goodison Park, Doucoure has left and will not represent Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
12) Abdel Abqar (Alaves)
Moroccan centre-half ends his spell with the Spanish club.
11) Victor Lindelof (Manchester United)
The most valuable of those departing United on a free this summer, the Swede has enjoyed very mixed fortunes over eight years at Old Trafford.
10) Callum Wilson (Newcastle United)
Exiting the Toon this summer after several injury-ravaged seasons. We can feel a switch to Everton coming on.
9) Junior Firpo (Leeds United)
The Yorkshire club wanted him to stay but Real Betis are among the clubs interested in the Dominican Republic international.
8) Nelson Semedo (Wolves)
Wolves are in danger of losing half their best players with the Portuguese right-back linked with a move back to Portugal.
7) Marco Verratti (Al-Arabi)
Will he take more money in the Middle East or head back to Europe for a final hurrah?
6) Kurt Zouma (West Ham)
The cat-kicker ended his four-year stint with the Hammers while on loan at Al-Orobah FC.
5) Josh Brownhill (Burnley)
There are links to a West Ham move that sound like the most West Ham move ever.
4) Thomas Partey (Arsenal)
Arsenal have given up on the Ghanaian after ludicrous wage demands. And for other very valid reasons.
3) Kyle Walker-Peters (Southampton)
He has more than served his dues and a whole host of mid-table Premier League sides should be interested after he exits the club following a second relegation. Wolves are one club mentioned as a possible option along with Everton.
2) Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)
Will likely have his pick of mid-table Premier League clubs on a free transfer. Tottenham are said to be very predictably interested as well as Manchester United.
1) Takehiro Tomiyasu (Arsenal)
“Unfortunately, injuries have limited Tomi’s time on the pitch in the past two seasons, with the defender making just one substitute appearance last season. It was therefore mutually agreed to end Tomi’s contract in order for him to start a new chapter in his career,” said Arsenal. His ongoing knee injury means he could be on this list for a while.
