Players without contracts are eligible to sign new contracts even after the transfer window closes

The transfer window closed on Tuesday (02) in the major leagues around the world. However, some signings are still allowed, as long as the player in question is without a contract. Thus, Coluna do Fla brings 12 names that can still move the football market and even reinforce Flamengo.

WHO ARE THE MAIN PLAYERS WITHOUT CONTRACTS?

Christian Eriksen, midfielder – last club: Manchester United (ENG) Diego Costa, forward – last club: Grêmio Jamal Lewis, left back – last club: Newcastle (ENG) Rafinha Alcântara, midfielder – last club: Al-Arabi (QAT) Takehiro Tomiyasu, defender – last club: Arsenal (ENG) Jean, goalkeeper – last club: Cerro Porteño (PAR) Hakim Ziyech, midfielder – last club: Al-Duhail (QAT) Guillermo Ochoa, goalkeeper – last club: AFS (POR) Paco Alcácer, forward – last club: Al Sharjah (UAE) Oxlade Chamberlain, midfielder – last club: Besiktas (TUR) Dele Alli, midfielder – last club: Como (ITA) Lorenzo Insigne, forward – last club: Toronto (CAN)

The most well-known name for Flamengo fans is Rafinha Alcântara. An avowed Flamengo fan and with a stint in Flamengo's youth team, the former Barcelona (ESP) player is free on the market. However, the 32-year-old midfielder hasn't played since May 13, 2024.

Of the 12 names highlighted by Coluna do Fla, in addition to Rafinha, two more are Brazilians. Diego Costa, who was Atletico Madrid's (ESP) striker when Filipe Luís was a player, is also free on the market. But the 36-year-old forward also didn't play in 2025.

Another member of the list is goalkeeper Jean, who didn't renew with Cerro Porteño (PAR). However, the player lost market in Brazil after assaulting his wife and even spending a few days in jail in 2019. The 29-year-old goalkeeper stood out at Bahia and also played for São Paulo.

WHAT DOES FLAMENGO THINK ABOUT THE MARKET?

In recent interviews, both coach Filipe Luís and director José Boto stated that they are satisfied with the squad and new signings are not expected in 2025. However, Flamengo can still lose names like Michael and Juninho, who are targets of the 'Arab World', which has a window until September 10.
