As they say, everything that has a beginning must surely have an end. This statement is very prominent in professional football; no matter how a player is loved by a club, he will be forced to go immediately he stops performing to expectation.
Though sometimes a player can decide to walk away at the end of his contract and awaits another club to sign him, mostly, it has always been a case of clubs pushing out players that are surplus to requirement or no longer as productive as expected.
If such a player feels he can still play the game, the best he would do is to wait for another club to show interest and such a club will sign the player without having to pay any fee. Such a player is referred to as a free agent.
Hence, since the summer transfer market is gradually winding down, Futballnews decided to look at the most valuable football players left in the 2020 free agency transfer market.
