#4 Fabio Borini - €4 million
Much-travelled Italian striker Fabio Borini has had spells at Liverpool, AC Milan, Chelsea and Parma but is without a club since leaving Hellas Verona. Reports suggest that the Italy international might be about to be handed a lifeline by Turkish side Goztepe soon.
The 29-year-old Borini has been training alone after becoming a free agent in Merseyside. He was part of the same Italian team with which Balotelli finished runners-up in Euro 2012.
#3 Jack Wilshere - €4 million
Once the darling of England and Arsenal, creative midfielder Jack Wilshere surprisingly finds himself without a club at 28.
Wilshere became a senior player for the Gunners in 2008-09 and was once tipped to captain the club by Arsene Wenger, but injuries played their part in the extremely talented player's downfall.
The player has not rediscovered his mojo since becoming a peripheral presence at Arsenal, whose then coach Unai Emery let him go in 2017-18. As it turned out, Wilshere's last spell at West Ham was a colossal disappointment for both parties.
Jack Wilshere's former teammate Cesc Fabregas was awestruck by the former's talent when the playmaker first burst on to the scene as a precocious teenager against Barcelona in the Champions League. The Spanish midfielder told The Daily Mail in this regard:
“He was just 16 when he first came to train with us, and I was like “wow this guy is good, strong, sharp. It’s a big shame what has happened to him. I feel sorry because he could have been a proper English legend of the game.”
#2 Daniel Sturridge - €4 million
Daniel Sturridge won the Premier League with Chelsea and the Champions League with Liverpool and was one of the top strikers of the English game for almost a decade. He scored 60 goals for the Reds and 24 goals for the Blues in over 250 combined appearances for both clubs.
However, things took a turn for the bizarre and the worse simultaneously when he moved to Turkey and joined Trabzonspor.
Sturridge left them by mutual agreement after playing 16 times for the club and was then slapped with a four-month worldwide ban due to betting regulation violations. He has been without a club since, but one gets the feeling that he could be back with a new club soon.
#1 Ahmed Musa - €6 million
The Nigerian national team skipper Ahmed Musa, who is head and shoulders above the rest on this list in terms of his market value, finds himself without a club at 28 after being released by Al-Nassr last month.
The wide attacker came into the limelight at CSKA Moscow for whom he played 184 times and won quite a few trophies.
However, his downfall began after switching to then-Premier League champions Leicester City in 2016. Musa only found the net five times in 33 games for the English club before a loan move saw him back to Moscow.
Reports suggest that a move to Turkey is imminent for the third-most capped player for the Super Eagles, with whom he won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013.
