Sergio Ramos, Memphis Depay and Marcos Alonso are all available on a free transfer.

A number of high-profile La Liga players have run down their contracts in 2024 and are now available on a free transfer.

While some players still have a contract offer on the table and are weighing up their options, others have been deemed surplus to requirements.

We’ve taken a look at every La Liga player whose contract expired on 30 June 2024. We’ve also told you if a player has already agreed a contract with another club.

Note: we’ve not included any loanees or any academy players who are yet to sign a professional contract.

Alaves

Gorosabel spent just one season at Alaves and has now joined Athletic Bilbao on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract.

Muniain has spent the entirety of his career at Atheltic and lifted the Copa del Rey in 2023/24, but he is now keen for a new challenge.

He’s been linked with a move to MLS, while Mexican Liga MX clubs and Argentian side River Plate have also been credited with interest in the 31-year-old.

Berenguer is also a free agent but he won’t be short of offers as Roma, Wolves, Crystal Palace, Brentford and Leicester City are reportedly vying for his signature.

Garcia made 363 appearances in all competitions during a nine-year stint in Bilbao and has now decided to retire at the age of 37.

Atletico Madrid

Mario Hermoso – Centre-Back
Gabriel Paulista – Centre-Back
Vitolo – Winger
Memphis Depay – Striker

Memphis joined Atletico in January 2023 and his contract stipulated that he had to play at least 45 minutes in 50 per cent of the games when he was available, otherwise, the agreement was not extended for the 2024/25 campaign.

Having fallen below the required threshold in the last 18 months, the Netherlands international has become a free agent.

Atletico wanted Hermoso to sign a new contract on reduced wages, but he rejected the proposal and has now left the club.

The 29-year-old has been linked with Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Napoli, Roma, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Paulista joined Atletico Madrid on a short-term deal in the January transfer window and has now left the club, signing a three-year contract at Turkish side Besiktas.

Barcelona

Sergi Roberto – Right-Back
Marcos Alonso – Left-Back

A Barcelona academy graduate, Roberto has made over 350 appearances for the club and wore the captain’s armband in the 2023/24 season.

According to reports, Barcelona club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco informed the former Spain international that he would have his contract renewed but no offer has yet arrived.

Alonso joined Barcelona from Chelsea on a free transfer in 2022 and enjoyed an impressive debut season, helping Xavi’s side win La Liga.

But the left-back made just eight appearances in the 2023/24 campaign after struggling with injury problems, and he has now left the club.

“What I know is that it is not finished and I have one, two or three more years left. I don’t know if my career will take me to the west or the east (Saudi Arabia).”
