Bundesliga's 2025 free agents: Top players facing uncertain futures

Ranked by market value from Transfermarkt, these are the top talents set to become free agents in the summer of 2025.

Jacob Bruun Larsen (Hoffenheim: $6m)

Since Christian Ilzer's arrival as Hoffenheim's coach, Bruun Larsen has enjoyed more game time and delivered some impressive performances. Whether the former Borussia Dortmund winger extends his stay or departs remains undecided.

Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich: $6m)

A one-club icon, Muller's future is uncertain. The 34-year-old could sign another short-term deal with Bayern or explore options in Major League Soccer should he decide to extend his playing career.

Ridle Baku (Wolfsburg: $7m)

Versatile and ambitious, Baku is reportedly keen on a new challenge. Capable of playing as a right-back or right midfielder, the 26-year-old has attracted interest from Galatasaray and could secure a summer move.

Ruben Vargas (Augsburg: $7m)

Augsburg have already confirmed that Vargas will not renew his contract. Clubs including Sevilla, Villarreal, and Borussia Monchengladbach are reportedly interested, making a January transfer a strong possibility.

Eric Dier (Bayern Munich: $8m)

Dier's lack of pace has seen his opportunities dwindle under Vincent Kompany, despite initial trust from Thomas Tuchel. A summer exit appears likely for the English defender.

Tom Bischof (Hoffenheim: $12m)

Bischof's breakout season has drawn attention from Bayern Munich and other Bundesliga giants. Hoffenheim face a tough task convincing the young talent to stay.

Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen: $30m)

Tah is eager to move on after failing to secure a switch to Bayern last summer. Barcelona now seem favourites to sign the central defender.

Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich: $45m)

Despite Sane's stated desire to remain at Bayern, his inconsistency has raised doubts about a contract renewal. Speculation continues about his future at the Allianz Arena.

Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich: $50m)

Disagreements over wages have stalled negotiations between Bayern and Davies. Talks have reportedly progressed, but the Canadian star's future remains unclear.

Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich: $50m)

Kimmich, a cornerstone of Bayern's squad, is in a strong negotiating position as the Bavarians seek to extend his deal. However, the club may need to reconsider their stance on lowering wages to secure the Germany captain's future.

With these players' futures hanging in the balance, the January transfer window could set the stage for significant changes across the Bundesliga.
