Evaluating the Top Five Free Agents Heading into Summer 2025

Which soccer stars will be available after their contracts expire this summer? A look at the most intriguing free agents ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The summer transfer window for 2025 is officially underway, coinciding with the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup scheduled for June 14 in the United States. Several high-profile players will become free agents at the end of June, with discussions already happening for their next destinations.

5. Cristiano Ronaldo

The veteran Portuguese forward, aged 40, is on the market after completing his time at Al-Nassr, where he signed in December 2022. Although negotiations for a possible contract renewal with Al-Nassr are ongoing, hints from FIFA President Gianni Infantino suggest he could find himself at another team during the World Cup.

4. Edin Dzeko

The Bosnian striker is now a free agent having confirmed his exit from Fenerbahce at season’s end. Although he turns 40 next year, his recent form of scoring 21 times in 53 appearances suggests he can still make an impact.

3. Thomas Muller

The iconic German player is set to depart Bayern Munich after the current season and could attract interest from various clubs across Serie A and MLS. At 36, he continues to be a major asset on the field, even if his future remains unclear.

2. Thomas Partey

Negotiations for a new deal with Arsenal continue for Partey, whose agreement ends this month. If no consensus is reached, he’ll become a sought-after option among free agents across Europe.

1. Jonathan David

The Canadian striker is generating considerable buzz as his contract with Lille approaches its end. With reported interest from teams such as Napoli and Juventus, he is one of the summer’s most coveted talents, having netted 109 goals over five seasons at Lille.
