June 30 is an important date in the football calendar, despite the lack of action in most top leagues.
It's the day when player contracts typically end, freeing them up to join a new club for nothing. It can feel like D-day for clubs whose prize assets are set to move on, though - as we've seen with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele this year - some will leave things very late to get a new deal signed.
A number of stars are out of contract 12 months from now, including Champions League winners and Ballon d'Or nominees. Here, Mirror Football looks at a few of those who will be free to move to a new club for free if nothing changes in the meantime. All contract expiry dates are via transfermarkt and accurate as of June 2022, and don't include those like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo who have an option to extend for a further year.
