Top 10 Bundesliga players out of contract in the summer of 2025 | OneFootball

As January approaches, a number of prominent Bundesliga players are entering the final six months of their contracts.

Ranked by value according to Transfermarkt, here are the 10 biggest Bundesliga stars currently set to become free agents in the summer of 2025:

9. Jacob Bruun Larsen, Hoffenheim (Market value: €6 million)

Since Christian Ilzer took over as Hoffenheim coach, the former Borussia Dortmund player has seen more playing time and has put in some impressive performances. Whether he will sign a new contract with Hoffenheim or leave for another club is currently up in the air.

9. Thomas Müller, FC Bayern (Market value: €6 million)

So far, the Bayern veteran has left it open whether he'll sign another short-term contract with the club he's spent his entire career with. Alternatively, a move to the MLS could be a possibility if he decides to continue his career.

7. Ridle Baku, Wolfsburg (Market value: €7 million)

It's been reported for some time that the versatile Baku, who is capable of playing as a right-back and as a right midfielder, is looking for a new challenge this summer. Galatasaray have been linked with a move for the 26-year-old, who has been with Wolfsburg since 2020.

7. Ruben Vargas, Augsburg (Market value: €7 million)

Augsburg have confirmed that Ruben Vargas will not be renewing his expiring contract, with Sevilla, Villarreal, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly interested. A January move could be on the cards.

6. Eric Dier, FC Bayern (Market value: €8 million)

Dier joined Bayern under Thomas Tuchel, who gave him a decent amount of playing time, but the Englishman hasn't played much since Vincent Kompany took over, with his lack of pace not suited to the Belgian coach's style of play. A summer exit seems very likely.

5. Tom Bischof, Hoffenheim (Market value: €12 million)

After a highly impressive season so far, Bischof has attracted interest from virtually all of the Bundesliga's top clubs, with Bayern Munich thought to be leading the race for his signature. Hoffenheim are doing all they can to persuade him to stay, but that could prove very difficult.

4. Jonathan Tah, Bayer Leverkusen (Market value: €30 million)

Tah wanted to join Bayern Munich last summer, but Leverkusen couldn't agree on a transfer fee with the Bavarians. The center back's desire to leave hasn't changed, but Barcelona appear to have moved ahead of Bayern in the race to secure his signature.

3. Leroy Sané, FC Bayern (Market value: €45 million)

Sané has expressed his willingness to stay at Bayern, but there are growing doubts about his future at the club. Recent reports have pointed to a departure, stating that the winger needs to show more consistency if he is to secure a new deal.

1. Alphonso Davies, FC Bayern (Market value: €50 million)

Bayern Munich have been discussing a new contract with Alphonso Davies for some time now, but have been unable to reach an agreement due to disagreements over wages. It was recently reported that the parties have moed closer to a compromise, but the Canadian international's future remains uncertain.

1. Joshua Kimmich, FC Bayern (Market value: €50 million)

Bayern are desperate to secure a new deal for Kimmich, with the Germany captain a key figure in Vincent Kompany's team. The 29-year-old has certainly put himself in a strong negotiating position, and the Bavarians may be willing to abandon their initial idea of reducing his wages if they want to keep him.
