John Stones, 32, England (last club: Manchester City) After 10 years at City and 15 major trophies, Stones has moved on. Despite recent injuries, Thomas Tuchel called him up for England. He’s been linked with a return to Everton and a switch to AC Milan.
Casemiro, 34, Brazil (last club: Manchester United) United let him go due to his high salary, even after a superb final season. His World Cup form has been mixed, though he netted a crucial equaliser in Brazil’s last-32 comeback against Japan. He’s widely expected to join Inter Miami after the tournament.
David Alaba, 33, Austria (last club: Real Madrid) Departed Real Madrid this summer after five seasons. The ex-Bayern star boasts 12 league titles and four Champions Leagues, and has been Austria’s Footballer of the Year 10 times. Despite interest as his contract expired, he has yet to sign for a new club.
Fabinho, 32, Brazil (last club: Al Ittihad) The former Liverpool midfielder has finished his spell in Saudi Arabia. In January he told Marca he wasn’t rushing his next move and hopes to return to Europe eventually. At the World Cup, Carlo Ancelotti has mostly used him from the bench, though he remains a valued squad member.
Mohamed Salah, 33, Egypt (last club: Liverpool) His final months at Anfield were turbulent amid a breakdown with coach Arne Slot; both have now left the club. A move to the Saudi Pro League is widely anticipated after the World Cup, but for now he’s focused on leading Egypt in the knockouts.
James Rodriguez, 34, Colombia (last club: Minnesota United) Minnesota United hold a six-month extension option through year’s end, but haven’t triggered it yet. Given he made only six appearances and two starts in the first half of the season, his future is uncertain. He could soon be joining his fifth club in under three years.
Luka Modric, 40, Croatia (last club: AC Milan) Milan can extend his deal by a year, but it’s unclear whether they will, he’ll move elsewhere, or retire. After a poor group-stage loss to England, he responded with strong showings against Panama and Ghana, setting up a blockbuster knockout tie with Portugal.
Vozinha, 40, Cape Verde (last club: Chaves) The veteran keeper went viral for his heroics in the 0-0 draw with Spain and then helped Cape Verde reach the knockouts for the first time, with Argentina up next. He revealed his contract with Portuguese second-tier side Chaves has ended, but he intends to keep playing.
