With just over a month left until players with expiring contracts become free agents, many European clubs are facing uncertainty over the future of their players. While the free transfer market offers an opportunity to sign top players for nothing, clubs risk losing their expiring players for free.
The summer of 2023 is set to see an unprecedented number of world-class players available on a Bosman transfer, including Lionel Messi, who is likely to leave PSG on a free transfer and has several options including extending with PSG, returning to Barcelona, or moving to Saudi Arabia or the United States.
Several Premier League clubs, including Man Utd, Man City, and Chelsea, need to renew contracts for key first-team players before the end of the 2022-23 season. The first high-profile Bosman transfer of the summer saw Milan Skriniar sign for PSG from Inter.
Other confirmed moves include Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer to Bayern Munich, Mahmoud Dahoud to Brighton, and Houssem Aouar to Roma, who has undergone a medical. The free transfer market is likely to see more high-profile moves in the upcoming weeks as clubs scramble to secure top talent without having to pay transfer fees.
