It will be the result of years of focusing the transfer market more efficiently than every other club in world football. First came the significant change in philosophy from signing the biggest names for the highest price, something that has resulted in Paris Saint Germain's biggest mistake in ten years of struggling to win the Champions League.

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 23, 2023
Betis do not want David de Gea. After rumors that they were recruiting the former Manchester United and Spain goalkeeper earlier this week, the club has briefed at least that. Perhaps it isn't all surprising. In the highly rated Rui Silva and the massively entertaining Claudio Bravo, they have two top keepers. The former is just recovering from injury, and the former is out for four weeks. However, both players will be fit and keen to play next week, so there is no room for a third senior keeper. Despite Betis' that he is a free agent, nobody seems to care about him.

After the deadline day, a goalkeeper with more than 500 appearances, one of the Premier League's best-ever players, and a World Cup champion — the players were still free agents

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 3, 2023
For those that are involved in the transfer process, it could be a wild ride, but for those who are not on the track, it may be even more sobering. Not everybody, of course, will be thrust into the spotlight thanks to jaw-dropping, multi-million-pound transfers, with a number of players still free agents and therefore available for absolutely nothing even after the summer window was closed. In fact, there are veteran internationals with hundreds of appearances for club and country as well as household names who have fallen off the radar in recent years, many of whom have been buried in the bargain binge, possibly plotting their routes back to the sport. If you were released by your previous clubs before the end of the season, clubs around the world will be able to sign unattached players after the deadline. This is the case for the majority of the players on the market, offering them a glimmer of hope. And so, Mail Sport looks at ten of the best players looking for a new home as prospective suitors circle and weigh up these cost-effective alternatives.
