Top 10 best free transfers of the summer transfer window in 2020

Football is a game where money is splashed around in crazy amounts. While clubs spend millions recruiting players every single transfer window, some join clubs for free.

Most commonly, this takes place when a certain player’s contract with their current club expires. When that happens, the player is free to be approached by clubs for recruitment. The best part about it is that the clubs do not have to pay anything to sign them.

With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting finances heavily, a free transfer is the most constructive solution to the problem of finances and recruiting. With that said, let’s have a look at the 10 best free transfers that have been completed in the current transfer window.

10. Alexis Sanchez
