January 1 marks not only the beginning of the new year, but also gives free agents who will become players in the upcoming summer the opportunity to start negotiations with other clubs. Many world-renowned footballers have not yet agreed on new contracts with their current teams, mostly in the Premier League. The "Arsenal" team may say goodbye to Santi Cazorla, "Man City" to Yaya Toure, "Man Utd" to attacking leader Zlatan Ibrahimovic. "Chelsea" has not yet reached an agreement with John Mikel Obi, "West Brom" and "Man City" teams - with Saido Berahino and Jesus Navas. One of the most expensive future free agents plays in Russia. This is the Belgian Axel Witsel (St. Petersburg "Zenit"), whose value now amounts to at least 17 million pounds. Similarly valued, Taison plans to leave Donetsk's "Shakhtar", while Arjen Robben has not yet sorted out formalities with Munich's "Bayern". The top ten ends with Atletico Madrid's forward Fernando Torres. Among these players, we can also mention Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy (Man City), Lucas Leiva (Liverpool), Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea), Per Mertesacker (Arsenal), Adriano (West Ham), Paul-Georges Ntep (Rennes), and Evgen Khacheridi (Dynamo).
