Ranking the top five free agents in the summer 2025: Cristiano Ronaldo, Thomas Muller, Jonathan David, more

The World Summer Transfer 2025 World Window has officially started for the FIFA Club World Cup that will take place from 14 June in the United States and some of the largest stars of the sport will be without a contract at the end of the current month. While some of them have already agreed a contract with a new club, such as Trent Alexander-Arnold who will join Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid On the World Cup and Jonathan Tah who will play with Bayer Leverkusen for Bayern Munich after the end of his deal. Others, such as Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne, are in advanced conversations to become a member of the Italian Series A, because AC Milan is ready to sign the Croatian midfielder after the end of the tournament while Napoli will sign the Belgian star. Let’s go around and take a look at the top five free agents in the summer:

5. Cristiano Ronaldo

The 40-year-old Portuguese star is again available on the market after the end of his deal with Al-Nassr, the club where he joined in December 2022. While they are over a new deal with the same Saudi team are still ongoingThere is also a chance to see him play for another club at the FIFA Club World Cup, as FIFA president Gianni Infantino recently suggested. As it is today, it is more likely that he will expand another deal with Al-Nassr and sign another deal, but with a player like Cristiano Ronaldo it is impossible to predict his future until the ink on a new contract is dry.

4. Edin

The Bosnian striker has left Fenerbahce, the club announced at the end of the current season and he can become an interesting option for many clubs around the world. Despite his age, because Dzeko turns 40 next year, he turned out to be a consistent striker, because he scored 21 goals in 53 games in the past season in the Turkish club and has been offered to some European teams so far. His name can come forward as an option for several clubs in the coming weeks, because his contract with Fenerbahce ends on 30 June.

3. Thomas Muller

The German football legend leaves Bayern Munich at the end of the current season, because Muller will also play the FIFA Club World Cup with the German giants. There have been reports of possible interest from Serie A and MLS teams, but it is not clear what his future will be, because the same player has not announced what his intentions are after the World Cup. Muller, who will be 36 later this year, can certainly be a big chance for many clubs to sign a world -class player who, despite his age, can still give a lot to the game.

2. Thomas Pareny

Although his contract has risen later this month, there are still negotiations between the player and Arsenal for a new deal at the English club, because Arsenal recently also appointed sports director Andrea Berta, who previously worked with Partey when they were both in Athletico de Madrid. If the two parties disagree about a new deal, Partey can become one of the best chances in Europe this summer as a free agent. Arsenal Officially confirmed There are “constant discussions” about a new deal for the player.

1. Jonathan David

The Canadian striker is probably the most interesting player that is available this summer prior to the transfer window, because his deal with Lille will expire at the end of June. Several teams throughout Europe showed interest in signing the striker and in particular the Italian teams, since both Napoli and Juventus are in conversation with the agents of David to make the deal happen. The Canadian striker, during his last five seasons in Lille, has scored a total of 109 goals in 232 games that are played in all competitions.
