The released lists have been published, the soon-to-be free agents are searching for new clubs and Premier League sides could find some bargains to fill gaps once July 1 rolls around.
And while so much of the focus surrounds the likes of Florian Wirtz’s potential arrival at Liverpool in a British record £125m deal or whether Arsenal end up signing Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres to finally fulfil the need for a new centre-forward, several familiar names with piles of experience are set to find new destinations.
Or maybe they will be able to broker a last-minute deal to remain at their club - such as Thomas Partey and Arsenal.
Here is a strong XI of those available without a fee after June 30.

Wayne Hennessey - Nottingham Forest
Welsh goalkeeper fell out of favour at Nottingham Forest behind Belgium’s Matz Sels but there are worse second-choice options.
Vladimir Coufal - West Ham
Dependable Czech full back lost his starting role to Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the season just passed but can still do a job elsewhere.

Victor Lindelof - Manchester United
The centre back remains injury prone, the biggest hurdle to him fulfilling a career that offered so much promise when he first arrived at Old Trafford. Next destination remains unclear.
Michael Keane - Everton
A solid option for those in need of depth at the back. Featured sporadically during final season at Goodison Park.
Kyle Walker-Peters - Southampton
Endured a season of misery at St Mary’s as the club went straight back down to the Championship but he is one of few players in that squad with a genuine claim to remain in the top flight.
Pablo Sarabia - Wolves
Spanish veteran made twice the number of appearances off the bench as he did starts during final season at Molineux and is being linked with a return to Sevilla.

Thomas Partey - Arsenal
Gunners remain hopeful that terms can be agreed with the central midfielder, especially after Jorginho confirmed his return to South America, leaving Mikel Arteta short of options in the engine room.
Christian Eriksen - Manchester United
Dane wants to keep playing despite mobility issues but his experience would still make him an asset to many dressing rooms.

Kevin De Bruyne - Manchester City
Premier League legend has made his feelings about departure from the Etihad clear and has no doubt he can continue to be decisive at the very top. Napoli have appeared at the front of the queue and a deal could be concluded sooner rather than later.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Everton
Striker heading for exit after talks over an extension stalled. At his best he is very good but consistency has remained an issue.

Jamie Vardy - Leicester
Bid farewell to the Foxes and has been linked with a switch to upwardly mobile Wrexham in the second tier. The mess around him at Leicester should not undermine fact he might still have a season or two of finding the net left.
Free agent XI: Hennessey; Coufal, Lindelof, Keane, Walker-Peters; Sarabia, Partey, Eriksen, De Bruyne; Calvert-Lewin, Vardy.
Subs: Olsen, Dawson, Mee, Evans, Reguilon, Antonio, Wilson.
