Free agents continue to offer a lineup with names of 11 players who, as of September 29, 2026, remain without a contract. The lineup includes Jadon Sancho, Joselu, Karim Benzema, Dani Carvajal, Paul Pogba, and Christian Eriksen, among others, after closing their last contractual stages in recent months. The transfer market in Spain remains attentive, as these footballers can sign with any club.

The combined market value of this team is set at 49.3 million euros, with Sancho holding the highest figure at 18 million. The Englishman remains free after ending his association with Manchester United and subsequent loan to Aston Villa.

Free Agents: Sancho and Joselu Lead the Attack

Jadon Sancho, a 26-year-old winger, stands out as one of the main offensive names. During his loan spell at Aston Villa in the 2025/26 season, he played 23 Premier League matches with two assists, and now seeks a new destination after becoming a free agent from Manchester United.

Also in the forward line is Riyad Mahrez, aged 35, who left Al Ahli in July. The Algerian concluded his time in Saudi Arabia with 122 games, 37 goals, and 46 assists, along with two consecutive AFC Champions League Elite titles.

Leading the attack is Joselu, a 36-year-old forward who finished his contract with Al-Gharafa on June 30. In his last season in Qatar, he scored 10 goals, and Valencia continues to consider him as an option to strengthen the attack without paying a transfer fee.

Another offensive position is occupied by Karim Benzema, aged 38, who became a free agent on August 31 after mutually agreeing with Al Hilal to terminate his contract originally until June 2027.

Dani Carvajal Leads a Defense of Free Agents

Dani Carvajal, a 34-year-old right-back, ended his time at Real Madrid at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season. The club confirmed on May 18 that both parties had agreed to terminate their contractual relationship.

Carvajal's future remains open. In September, intermediaries offered the Spanish player to Liverpool, Manchester City, and Fulham, while reports also indicated contacts with clubs from Spain, MLS, and Saudi Arabia.

The central defensive pairing consists of Francesco Acerbi, aged 38, and Sergio Ramos, aged 40. Acerbi's contract with Inter expired in June after playing 26 matches in his final season in Milan. Ramos, on the other hand, has been without a club since leaving Monterrey in December 2025 and in September was linked with a possible move to Aston Villa.

On the left flank, we find Raphaël Guerreiro, a 32-year-old player whose departure from Bayern Munich was confirmed when his contract ended in the summer. The Portuguese player concluded his time in Germany with 89 games, 12 goals, and eight assists.

Pogba and Eriksen Complete the Midfield

The midfield is comprised of Paul Pogba and Christian Eriksen. The Frenchman, aged 33, terminated his contract with Monaco on August 19, despite the agreement originally extending until June 2027.

Eriksen became one of the latest free agents in the market after parting ways with Wolfsburg on September 23. The Danish player, aged 34, played 34 games, scored 3 goals, and provided 10 assists in his last season.

In goal stands Sergio Rico, aged 33, who remains without a club after leaving Al-Gharafa. With the transfer windows closed in major European leagues, these free agents can still negotiate their signings outside the usual registration periods when the regulations of each competition allow it.
