Free after a decade of loyal service at the Skyblues, John Stones has just signed with Inter Milan. The English defender thus makes it into the top 10 players who joined new clubs on a free transfer this summer.

Leading the list is Ibrahima Konaté, who opted not to renew his contract with Liverpool, instead choosing to join Real Madrid. The French centre-back, who previously wore the shirts of Sochaux and Leipzig, will now get his first taste of La Liga next season.

Without a contract after his spell with Bournemouth ended, Marcos Senesi has joined Tottenham on a free transfer. The same goes for Harry Wilson, who will now play for Leeds after five years at Fulham.

Among the best picks, there's also Bernardo Silva, who has moved to Real Madrid, Malang Sarr, who left for Saudi Arabia, and Zeki Çelik, who signed as a free agent with Juventus Turin.

Here are the 10 “free” transfers of this summer window, ranked by their market value as estimated by Transfermarkt.
