FourFourTwo reflects on the notable increase of players, like Kylian Mbappe, allowing their contracts to expire to capitalize on free agency, citing Arsene Wenger's 2017 foresight into the trend.
While high-profile free agents provoke excitement, they also spotlight availability bias; the substantial list of contract expirations does not imply this phenomenon is the new norm.
Wenger’s prediction about players running contracts down and transitioning to free agency is more visible with stars like Salah and van Dijk, who haven't received renewal talks from Liverpool.
As many current potential free agents are older than 30 years, clubs remain hesitant to offer long-term deals, compounding the complexity of contract negotiations in modern football.
