Mesmo que a próxima janela de transferências não abra até janeiro, jogadores sem contrato ainda podem ser contratados por clubes na Europa… e, de fato, em todo o mundo.

Al Jazeera takes a look at who could still be snapped up – and for free.

Paul Pogba – ex-Manchester United and Juventus.

A ascensão e queda de Paul Pogba serão para sempre uma das maiores frustrações de seus fãs e dos clubes em que ele jogou.

The 33-year-old served an 18-month doping ban to March 2025, but injuries have meant he has played little football since and his contract with Monaco was terminated last month.

O francês ingressou no Monaco em contrato de dois anos vindo da Juventus no verão passado, porém o campeão da Copa do Mundo de 2018 com a França participou de apenas seis partidas pelo clube francês.

A fellow World Cup winner alongside Pogba – and a former Ballon d’Or winner – Karim Benzema is also hunting for a new club. The 38-year-old’s contract in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal was terminated on Monday.

Benzema moved from Real Madrid in 2023 to Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad, where he spent three seasons and was only six months into his Al-Hilal contract.

A host of new signings, including Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, pushed Benzema down the pecking order. Much as Pogba is likely to do, Benzema is set to look elsewhere in the Saudi league, as well as contemplating Major League Soccer in the United States.

Jadon Sancho – ex-Manchester United and Chelsea.

Uma vez considerado um dos talentos mais brilhantes do futebol inglês e europeu, a queda de Jadon Sancho é difícil de compreender.

Clubs the world over will be interested in the winger, given his undoubted talent and tender age, but he will have to take a cut from the significant wages that he would have earned at United.

Raheem Sterling – ex-Liverpool e Arsenal

Outro jogador que já foi considerado uma estrela em ascensão do futebol inglês, Raheem Sterling enfrenta um período decisivo em uma carreira que o levou a muitos altos.

From his beginnings at his local club – Queens Park Rangers in London – to England honours, the winger has courted the attention of Europe’s top clubs.

The 31-year-old’s first big break came at Liverpool, with spells at Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal following. His most recent spell was at Feyenoord, with the Dutch club releasing him only three months and eight appearances into his stint.

O ascensão de Riyad Mahrez foi notável. Campeão da Premier League com o Leicester City, que ele ajudou anteriormente a subir da segunda divisão do futebol inglês, o ponta teria conquistado cinco medalhas de campeão da primeira divisão no total após uma carreira brilhante no Manchester City.

Now 35, Mahrez has been released by Saudi club Al Ahli, having only just appeared at FIFA World Cup 2026 for Algeria.

Seus 37 gols em 122 partidas em três anos com o Al Ahli provavelmente significam que o atacante de pés ágeis não terá dificuldades em continuar sua carreira caso ainda tenha o desejo.

Philippe Coutinho, Dani Carvajal and David Alaba also available.

At 34 years of age, Philippe Coutinho is young enough to still be able to pull the strings for any side in the centre of the park anywhere in the world.

A star name in his time with Liverpool, Coutinho was seen as a huge loss to the Anfield club when he joined Barcelona. The Brazilian left his boyhood club Vasco de Gama in February and has taken a break from the game.

The MLS, however, has long been linked with the South American.

Few players become free agents from Real Madrid and struggle to find a suitor. At 34, Dani Carvajal is unlikely to go quietly into the night following a stellar career with Los Blancos, who he left in the summer following a 13-year stint with the record La Liga winners.

O companheiro de lateral, David Alaba, também se separou do Real neste verão e uma transferência para o Manchester United tem sido discutida.
