Today - July 1 - is the day that their contracts officially expire, meaning there are a number of the world’s biggest stars now available as free agents.
We take a look at nine players that became free agents today - including two former United stars, as well as another two of their targets...
1. Edinson Cavani
After an injury-ridden spell at Old Trafford, the 35-year-old leaves Manchester United after scoring 19 goals in 55 matches. The Uruguayan has been linked with the likes of Boca Juniors and Rayo Vallecano.
2. Federico Bernardeschi
The 28-year-old is one of a number of players that have left Juventus this summer, however he looks likely to remain in Italy with Napoli and Roma interested.
3. Jesse Lingard
Despite being offered a new contract, Lingard becomes a free agent today after 22 years with Manchester United. West Ham are eager to bring the 29-year-old back to London after his superb loan spell last year.
4. Paulo Dybala
Dybala is one of many high-profile players that become free agents today after departing Juventus. The forward was linked with a move to the Premier League but it appears his wage demands have put off a number of clubs.
