12 big name footballers who are still free agents three months into new season

12 big name footballers who are still free agents three months into new season

Many players once considered to be the hottest properties in world football have suddenly found themselves in the free agent wilderness, three months into the new season

Few sports are as fast-moving as football.

One minute, you could find yourself climbing the steps of Europe's biggest venues to lift the Champions League or the FA Cup - the next, you are on the phone to your agent, wondering where the next club is going to come from. Many big name players will find major trophies and medals in their cabinets, but no club jersey to don on the weekend.

Whether it is a question of wages, injuries or age catching up with them, many players are stuck in the free-agent wilderness. Daily Star Sport considers 12 players who do not have a club to call their own.

Jesse Lingard

After spending the pre-season training with West Ham United, Lingard then started working under Steven Gerrard at Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq. However, the Middle Eastern giants opted to not sign the former England international, leaving him without a team this season

David De Gea

David De Gea thought he was going to extend his stay at Manchester United, but the club reportedly pulled the contract offer at the last moment. This then left him without a team for the new season

Ryan Bertrand

The Champions League winner was released by Leicester City, after the Foxes were relegated. Unfortunately for him, offers were few and far between.

Jean-Philippe Gbamin

Injuries plagued Jean-Philippe Gbamin's Everton career and turned it into a nightmare. Unfortunately, things do not appear to be looking up as he was loaned to Turkish side Trabzonspor, before he was released by the Toffees

Radja Nainggolan

At one stage, Radja Nainggolan was one of the most sought after midfielders in the world. But after a two-year loan spell with Cagliari and moves to Royal Antwerp and SPAL, Nainggolan is without a team

Danny Rose

Football fans will remember watching Danny Rose ask Daniel Levy questions on purported interest from AC and Inter Milan. Unfortunately for him, he has been without a club since he left Watford in September 2022

Andre Ayew

A deadline day move to Nottingham Forest in January last season was a disaster, as he failed to score in 13 appearances. Steve Cooper's side chose to not make his arrival permanent, resulting in him being left without a club

Phil Jones

His time at Manchester United was ended after 13 years at the club. Unfortunately, the defender, who was once predicted to be United's greatest ever player by Ferguson, has not been able to convince any other teams that he is worth taking a punt on.

Matty Longstaff

He shot on to the scene for Newcastle United with a wonderful goal on his debut against Manchester United. Sadly injuries have caused nothing but havoc for Longstaff - while he is not signed for a club, he has been allowed to undergo his injury rehabalitation at his former club and that of his older brother Sean.

Shkodran Mustafi

He initially looked to be the final piece of the puzzle for Arsenal under Arsene Wenger, but his form crumbled to pieces - after leaving the Gunners in 2021, he has since played for Schalke O4 and Levante

Steven Caulker

A three year spell in Turkey playing for Alanyaspor, Fenerbahce, Gaziantep FK and Karagumruk came to an end when he joined Wigan Athletic in January. However, the Latics chose not to extend his deal, leaving him without a team.

An emotional return to Bayern Munich was cancelled in the eleventh hour this summer - to make matters even worse, there was no time for the World Cup and Champions League winner to find a new team
