The summer transfer market ended Thursday evening, in most European leagues, amid great competition between clubs in order to strengthen their ranks with the best players, to fight a difficult season in various competitions, whether local or European.
Despite the great activity witnessed by the summer Mercato, there are a number of well-known stars who failed to find a new club after the end of their contracts with their clubs.
These players have the opportunity to obtain a new club even after the closing of the summer Mercato doors, as FIFA rules allow players whose contracts have expired to join any new club during any time of the season.
The Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, reviewed a group of stars who are still without a club, and they are:
