Transfer market: Top 10 midfielders still available on the market

Not selected for the 2026 World Cup with Germany, Julian Brandt now has to focus on finding a new club for the upcoming season.

The 30-year-old attacking midfielder tops the list of out-of-contract midfielders with a market value of €15 million. After seven years of loyal service, Borussia Dortmund decided not to renew his contract.

Franck Kessié is also among the midfielders who could sign as free agents following the expiration of their contracts with their respective clubs.

Malian Yves Bissouma, Italian Lorenzo Pellegrini, Croatian Marcelo Brozović, Spaniard Dani Ceballos, Senegalese Krépin Diatta, and Japanese Ryotaro Ito are all in the same boat, making them attractive prospects for this summer transfer window.

1. Julian Brandt (Germany): €15.00M

2. Franck Kessié (Ivory Coast): €12.00M
