In Italy, Adrien Rabiot and Piotr Zielinski are the standout stars who will be available for nothing. Rabiot is now likely to leave Juventus. Zielinski is expected to join Inter on a free transfer. Mehdi Taremi of Porto is set to move to Inter on a free transfer, also.

Lazio winger Felipe Anderson's free transfer to Palmeiras has been confirmed as the Brazilian rejected a move to Juventus to return to his home country.

AC Milan's Olivier Giroud has announced he is leaving on a free transfer to join LAFC in MLS. Simon Kjaer has also confirmed he is leaving Milan. A whole host of players will leave Serie A champions Inter, including Juan Cuadrado, Alexis Sanchez and Davy Klaassen.
