  "summary": "Several high-profile footballers remain without clubs following the close of the transfer window, with several established stars now available to sign as free agents. Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, England winger Jadon Sancho, experienced defenders Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos and David Alaba, and former France striker Karim Benzema are among the biggest names on the list. Clubs looking to strengthen their squads could still make significant additions by negotiating contracts with these free agents, who are currently looking for new clubs.",
