Many players’ contracts expired on the last day of June. Today we’ll take a look at top ten most desirable recruits who are now officially unattached from their previous clubs in Serie A.1 – Paulo DybalaIt came as a shock when Juventus announced that they wouldn’t retain their Argentinean magician. The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to Inter, but nothing has been confirmed.2 – Andrea BelottiTorino were asking around $100 million for this guy in 2015. Oh, how times change! Back then, he looked like he was going to be one of the best strikers in the game, Arsenal, Manchester United and many more clubs were circling him, but Torino were holding out for big money. Unfortunately for them, they missed out on their chance. Although still only 28 and an Italy international, Belotti is nowhere near as exciting as it looked some years ago. Still, he could do a solid job for someone.🚨 OFFICIAL: Torino have confirmed the departure of Andrea Belotti. The Italian striker is now a free agent.

He is likely to join Lazio, the club he supported as a boy, but Fulham are trying to tempt him to England with a big, juicy contract offer.Lost in the red mist: Milan captain faces uncertain future as Fulham try their luck4 – Luiz FelipeLazio signed this Brazilian defender six years ago hoping to turn him into a world-class player, but he was rarely anything more than solid and unspectacular. Even though he earned a call-up to represent Italy and played regularly for the Roman club last season, he wasn’t offered a new contract and is free to search for a new team.5 – Federico BernardeschiThis midfielder was a staple for Juventus in the five years since joining from Fiorentina, but he never managed to grow out of the ‘utility man’ label. The 28-year-old has been touted as a potential replacement for Roma’s wantaway midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo.OFFICIAL: Juventus have confirmed the departures of Paulo Dybala, Federico Bernardeschi and Alvaro Morata. Dybala and Bernardeschi leave Juve as free agents, Morata will return to Atletico Madrid after his loan comes to an end.Thank you for everything, Paulo, Berna and Alvaro! pic.twitter.com/gDeJIgiaUz— Juventus Football News (@JuventusJFN) June 30, 2022 6 – Thomas StrakoshaAlbanian international goalkeeper leaves Lazio after an entire decade spent at Stadio Olimpico. At 27 years old, he’s entering his best years and should be a tempting target for many a club. He was even mentioned as a potential Chelsea and Fulham target.7 – David OspinaVeteran Colombian goalkeeper leaves Napoli after five years. He was linked with possible moves to Lazio and Villarreal but is more likely to go to Saudi club Al-Nassr instead for a hefty salary of $7 million over two years.Don’t let Meret news overshadow the fact that Spider-Man Ospina is one of Napoli’s best ever GK. That can never be taken. pic.twitter.com/aHGNB2wVCi— Dσɱ BX🗽 (@DomApuzzo) June 29, 2022 8 – Dries MertensThe 35-year-old Belgian forward joined Napoli in 2013 and has become the club’s all-time top scorer, overtaking Diego Maradona and Marek Hamsik. He’s unhappy with the club’s one-year contract offer and is at the exit door.9 – Keita BaldeThe AFCON winner with Senegal, aged 27 and out of contract at Cagliari, Balde is a tempting target. Clubs in Turkey and Greece are trying to tempt him, but he could stay in Italy, as Sampdoria and Udinese reportedly want to land him.##EDITORS_CHOICE##10 – Matias VecinoInter are letting the 30-year-old Uruguay international midfielder leave on a free after an underwhelming spell at Giuseppe Meazza. He seems to have a few options as Marseille, Valencia and Brazilian club Botafogo all contacted his representatives.
