Off The Pitch Player Valuation Tool: Most valuable players with contract expiry next summer

Many players have entered the final year of their contracts and before long, they will be available on a free transfer. Last season, Paris Saint-Germain showed how the market for out-of-contract players can be used to acquire quality cheaply.
We have identified the most valuable players whose contracts expire next summer.
Why it matters: With players nearing the end of their contracts, clubs are left with a choice of how to handle soon-out-of-contract players – do they offer contract extensions, do they cash in, or do they delay taking action?
The perspective: In a world where transfer fees have become astronomically high, targeting players nearing the end of their contracts remains a good way of securing quality at a low price.

Several high-profile names are on the list of players about to enter the final year of the current contracts.

The table below shows the top 20 most valuable players with contract expiry next summer, according to the newly-launched Off The Pitch Player Valuation Tool.
