Bargains galore: Konate, Lewandowski, Casemiro lead star-studded free-agent XI
Bargains galore: Konate, Lewandowski, Casemiro lead star-studded free-agent XI Time is running out for clubs to agree new contracts with players whose deals expire this summer. There are some huge names that are set to become free agents and we've compiled a best XI of them. Bargains, everywhere.
Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer - Bayern Munich The German great is expected to be offered a new deal at Bayern Munich , but is yet to put pen to paper. He'll turn 40 later this month but remains a giant presence for the Bundesliga champions. Expect his Bayern career to head into a 16th season.
Right-back: Oscar Mingueza - Celta Vigo One of the more intriguing free-agent options, Oscar Mingueza looks set to have his pick of clubs in the summer. The Spaniard has been one of La Liga's best right-backs in recent years and, at 26, could still have his best years ahead of him. Centre-back: John Stones - Manchester City The centre-back market looks the deepest when it comes to free agents this summer.
John Stones is one of several top names out of contract, alongside players including Antonio Rudiger and Marcos Senesi. Injuries have impacted Stones at Manchester City but there's still plenty left in the tank. The 31-year-old has been linked with a return to Everton.
Centre-back: Ibrahima Konate - Liverpool Perhaps the biggest fish in the free agent pool. Ibrahima Konate has failed to agree terms on a new deal at Liverpool with all signs pointing towards an exit. Real Madrid are long-standing suitors.
