Top Free Agents Still Available After the 2026 Transfer Window

The 2026 summer transfer window has closed, but free agency remains open—clubs can sign unattached players at any time. A Transfermarkt-based ranking highlights five of the most valuable free agents still available, using estimated market value rather than expected transfer fees, since wages and contract length shape negotiations. Jadon Sancho, 26, is reportedly seeking a fresh start abroad after a public fallout with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United; his value is down roughly 80% from his $98.5 million move. Diogo Leite, 27, is a ready-made defensive option after leaving Union Berlin. Yves Bissouma, 29, is available after Tottenham, and Ismaël Bennacer plus Reiss Nelson round out the top five.
