IMAGO | With the contracts of Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander Arnold all set to expire, Liverpool risk losing more than 16 per cent of their squad value this summer.

Player value at risk: The European clubs facing the biggest losses from free agents

  • With the winter window closed, Off The Pitch analyses the European clubs facing the biggest losses in player value this summer due to expiring contracts.
  • Both elite clubs and others with nearly 25 per cent of their squad value at risk are set to be impacted.
  • Why it matters: A staggering €2 billion in player value is set to expire across Europe’s top eight leagues this June.
  • The perspective: The vast majority of European clubs rely on player sales to maintain or achieve financial sustainability.

The dust has settled on the January transfer window, but for many clubs, unresolved business remains.

Several high-profile players have become free agents, and unless their clubs secure new contracts, significant player value could be lost.

Using Off The Pitch’s Player Valuation Tool, we have analysed the contract situations across clubs in Europe’s top leagues to quantify the potential loss in player value.
