The Frenchman made just six appearances for Monaco after joining them last summer and, after a series of injuries, the French club terminated his contract last month &#8211; one year before it was due to end. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Karim Benzema, 38 (Last club: Al Hilal)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">French striker Benzema has been plying his trade in Saudi Arabia since leaving Real Madrid in 2023, spending three years with Al Ittihad. But just six months after joining Al-Hilal the Ballon d&#8217;Or winner has terminated his contract. The arrival of attacking trio Crysencio Summerville, Ollie Watkins and Gabriel Martinelli has perhaps pushed Benzema out and, despite already making three appearances for Al-Hilal this season, his contract was terminated on 31 August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Riyad Mahrez, 35 (Last club: Al Ahli)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Another player to have had their contract terminated in the Saudi Pro League is five-time Premier League winner Mahrez. The Algeria winger joined Al Ahli from Manchester City in 2023, scoring 37 goals in 122 appearances in all competitions. Reports suggest he will stay in the Saudi league and is close to joining Al-Shabab.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Raheem Sterling, 31 (Last club: Feyenoord)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sterling was released by Feyenoord after just three months and eight games and is set to appear in court next month to face charges of dangerous driving after crashing his car into motorway barriers in May. Sources told BBC Sport the former Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea winger had faced &#8220;an extremely tough couple of years&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Philippe Coutinho, 34 (Last club: Vasco da Gama)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Former Liverpool and Barcelona midfielder Coutinho left his boyhood club Vasco de Gama in February, saying he was &#8220;tired mentally&#8221;. The Brazilian has not officially announced his retirement and has previously been linked with a move to the MLS. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Jadon Sancho, 26 (Last club: <\/b><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Manchester United<\/b><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It has been a turbulent few years for Sancho since joining United from Borussia Dortmund for \u00a373m in 2021 and he has spent the last two and-a-half years playing elsewhere on loan, most recently at Aston Villa following a lacklustre period at Chelsea. Sancho made just 30 Premier League appearances for United but has reportedly attracted interest from Dortmund for a move back to the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Dani Carvajal, 34 (Last club: Real Madrid)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Widely regarded as one of the best right-backs of his generation, Carvajal has been a free agent since his contract with Real Madrid ended in June. Carvajal made 451 appearances across all competitions for Real in 13 years and has not been linked with a new club. He has reportedly been training at the Spanish Football Federation&#8217;s facilities over the summer with compatriot and fellow free agent Joselu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Jamie Vardy, 39 (Last club: Cremonese)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Vardy spent last season with Cremonese after 13 years with Leicester City but relegation to Serie B prompted the Italian side to let the striker go. He has been heavily linked with a move back to the English Football League with Wrexham, Sheffield Wednesday and West Ham all reportedly interested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">David Alaba, 34 (Last club: Real Madrid)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Experienced full-back Alaba left Real Madrid in May after five years with the club and, for a spell this summer, Manchester United were the bookies&#8217; favourite to sign the Austrian. The former Bayern Munich star has had a storied club career that has yielded 12 league titles and four Champions Leagues. Despite speculation of interest from a number of clubs as his Real contract came to an end, so far, Alaba has not signed for anyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Sergio Ramos, 40 (Last club: Monterrey)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Legendary Spanish defender Ramos has been without a club since December 2025 after leaving Mexican side Monterrey. Although aged 40, he has not announced his retirement while some reports suggest he still feels fit enough to compete at a high level. Earlier this year he spearheaded a consortium who attempted to acquire a controlling stake in his former club Sevilla but the bid failed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div
