Top 10 stars who are still free agents after summer window 2023

The 2023 summer transfer window was full of jaw-dropping deals. Clubs across Europe and the rest of the world spent massively to recruit their transfer targets in order to bolster their squads. However, a lot of players who were out of contract did not find any buyers.
The free agents are available to sign without a transfer fee as they are not associated with any club. There were plenty of high-profile players who were available to sign on a free transfer but did not secure any moves by the end of the transfer window.

Alfredo Morelos is a free agent after his contract with Rangers ran out in June 2023. The 27-year-old Columbian forward did not find any team in the transfer market despite his talents. He played 269 times for the Scottish side, scoring 124 goals and making 58 assists.
Javier Pastore
