Transfer news: The best players who can be signed for free now

These players are all available in the summer

In the January transfer window teams can get immediate help by making a big splash, spending millions to add new recruits.

But teams can also start negotiating with players who are reaching the end of their current contracts.

Players whose contracts expire this summer are free to talk to any team and agree a move at the end of heir current deal.

There are numerous stars potentially available right now for teams to negotiate with.

Nemanja Vidic is a high-profile name, although his recent performances, or lack thereof, don't reflect the reputation, or the clamour for his signature that was seen by fans when news of his mutual termination came out.

Joel Matip is another player that looks like he may be heading to the Premier League, the Cameroonian centre-back a favourite of Jurgen Klopp for a while.

Here, we've separated the wheat from the chaff to look at the players who could be on the move, even if some of them will undoubtedly remain at their current clubs.
