In today's world of football where transfer records get broken every other transfer window, where transfer fees keep on soaring. There's always a player running his contract down maybe due to lack of wages being offered or probably just to join another club. But whatever the reason it's a true bargain in today's world to sign a good player for free. Yes, I'm talking about free agents.

In recent years Juventus is one team that has made a quite a name for signing some high-profile free agents recently Emre Can from Liverpool last summer. Just like Emre Can last season there are some other big names who are getting there contracts running out the summer of 2019. Let's have a look at the top 5 free agents available next summer.


#1 Toby Alderweireld

In the past few seasons, Toby Alderweireld has been one of the best center-backs in the Premier League. A regular starter for the Tottenham Hotspurs Alderweireld has a transfer value of 40,00 Mill. € according to transfermarket.com.

The Belgian has shared a strong partnership with his fellow Belgium international teammate Jan Vertonghen both for country and club who also has his contract running down in the next summer. PSG and Man Utd are reportedly highly interested in the Belgian along with Atletico and Juventus of course, you can never count Juventus out if there's a good free agent available.

But just like in Vertonghen's case spurs have an option to extend Alderweireld contract for one more year. Although, if Spurs choose to extend to his contract there's a release clause of reportedly around 25,00 Mill. € which will be a bargain for a 29-year-old defender who still has some more good years ahead of him. There definitely will be a transfer saga for Alderweireld in the coming summer.

#2 Adrien Rabiot

One transfer story that is certain to make headlines in the coming summer is of Adrien Rabiot. Rabiot is one of the finest young centre-midfielders present with a transfer value of 50,00 Mill. € according to transfermarket.com.

He has rejected around three contracts offered to him by PSG and Barcelona has reportedly have made a contract offer of themselves. PSG are still fighting hard to keep hold of the ex-Man City youth product but there are just too many good clubs interested in signing Rabiot which can make his head turn.

He has also lost his starting position in Tuchel's PSG. Besides Barcelona, there are other clubs who are in running to sign this free agent like Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, AC Milan and Juventus. This transfer saga is going to be tricky with reported discussions with Barcelona, with his history with Man City and his childhood favourite club Liverpool involved.

#3 Cesc Fabregas

One of the finest Spanish midfielders of his generation Cesc Fabregas also has his contract running down next summer. With the lack of playing time under Sarri, it is highly unlikely he will renew his contract at Stamford Bridge. Fabregas is valued at 25,00 Mill. € according to transfermarket.com.

Although he will be 32 years old come next May, Fabregas is still good enough as there is no doubt about his ability with the ball. Fabregas has played more than 600 professional games and with plenty of experience under his belt, he can be a good addition to any side.

Both Milan clubs Inter and AC Milan are reportedly interested in him, AC Milan is also expected to make a bid in January for the 2010 World Cup winner and are favorites to sign him. But there's also interest from Spain with Valencia and Villareal interested in the Spanish playmaker.

#4 Anthony Martial

Manchester United's star winger Anthony Martial is another big name whose contract runs out next summer. Martial has endured a mixed relationship with his manager Mourinho and has reportedly told Man United board he won't sign a new contract as long as Mourinho is in charge of the club.

But just like in Alderweireld's case Martial's contract also has one-year extension option but Martial is still reported to favor to move out of Manchester United to play for an attack-minded team and a manager who likes him.

Martial is still 23 years old with his good years ahead of him and has a market value of 65,00 Mill. € according to transfermarket.com. Martial has been in good form lately scoring seven times in the 12 Premier League games he has played this season. Tottenham and Juventus are highly interested in the French starlet with PSG also rumored to be interested in signing him.

#5 Aaron Ramsey

One player who will surely leave his club for free is Aaron Ramsey. Arsenal has taken back the contract they offered to the Welshman and have accepted to lose him for free rather than tieing him down to a new contract.

Ramsey is 27 years old and holds a transfer value of 45,00 Mill. € according to transfermarket.com. He also has been a sideline figure for Unai Emery's Arsenal with Arsenal all but prepared for his departure. Reportedly there is no lack of interest in the Welshman with the German giants Bayern being made favorites by the bookies.

There is also interest from Chelsea, PSG, Man City and Juventus. Liverpool has already ruled them out from signing the Welshman from Arsenal. Despite playing 90 minutes only twice this season Ramsey has one goal and six assists to his name in the 15 Premier League appearances he has made this season.
