Mohamed Salah leads free‑agent list in summer football transfer market

Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah has topped the list of free agents after ending his nine‑season spell with Liverpool. Clubs in Europe and the Middle East are monitoring his availability, with reports of negotiations involving Turkish side Beşiktaş, though no official deal has been announced. Salah joins other high‑profile players such as Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez, defender Ahmed Hegazi and midfielder Mohamed Elneny who are also free to move without transfer fees, attracting interest from clubs seeking experienced talent without paying fees.

In the same window, Manchester City midfielder Rodri is the subject of intense speculation concerning a possible move to Real Madrid. Reports suggest a preliminary personal‑terms agreement with the Spanish club, while City consider retaining the 30‑year‑old whose contract runs until 2027. A transfer would provide Real Madrid with a versatile midfield presence as they look to refresh their squad, and could generate a significant financial return for City.
