Transfer news: The best players who are out of contract in 2019 and available to sign for free

International superstars from across Europe’s top five leagues are available to negotiate with overseas clubs now that they have entered the final six months of their contract

In an era of ever increasing transfer fees, it is somewhat heartening to know that there are still a number of bargains up for grabs now that the transfer window has reopened.

International superstars from across Europe’s top five leagues are available to negotiate with overseas clubs now that they have entered the final six months of their contract.

There are a number of experienced veterans on the list as they enter the final months of their big-money contracts.

The likes of Diego Godin, Gianluigi Buffon, Filipe Luis, Vincent Kompany and Petr Cech would add some star quality to any defence.

There are a number of riskier options out there, too. Mario Balotelli is poised to leave Nice, for example, while Daniel Sturridge, Mousa Dembele and Franck Ribery are all fine players, albeit ones who have struggled with injury.
