Find out all you need to know about Contract Expiry signings below and discover what brilliant players could be yours for free when their contracts expire in 2024.
What is a Contract Expiry signing?
A contract expiry signing is securing a player on a free transfer as the contract with their current club enters its final six months.
You sign the player on what is known as a pre-contract agreement, for the player to join your club on a free transfer when their current contract expires.
You can only sign players this way who have less than six months remaining on their contract and are over the age of 23.
It's worth remembering that some of these stars might not be available to sign, as they may have agreed on new contracts with their club.
Harry Kane (OVR 89)
His rating looks set to drop ahead of FIFA 23, however, Harry Kane will still be one of the best strikers in the game.
Getting him for free from Spurs could be a real steal, and if he doesn't suit the sort of striker you are looking for he would make a very handy CAM.
Marquinhos (OVR 88)
Unlike Kane, Marquinhos is leaked for a slight upgrade in the next game.
By the time you could get him on a free he will be around 30, in the prime of his career, and possibly have reached 90 OVR!
Marco Verratti (OVR 87)
You could go for a PSG double sweep, and bring in Marco Verratti at the same time.
The mini midfielder can dominate possession and is an aggressive enforcer that could make your side world-class.
Christopher Nkunku (OVR 86)
After a stunning season, Christopher Nkunku is set for a major upgrade in FIFA 23, potentially increasing to 86 OVR!
Act early to snap up this youngster when you can and you could get another decade of play from him.
Jurrien Timber (OVR 79)
Finally, a Career Mode favourite, Jurrien Timber could be the pacey, powerhouse CB your side has always needed.
He will be 23 when you are able to swoop and could be the rock of your defence for years to come.
Rafael Leao (OVR 84)
Rafael Leao is another man who found sensational form last season and is leaked to get +7 to his rating, becoming an 84 OVR.
The rapid winger has great ability on the ball and brings a physicality not always found in players on the flanks.
Mason Mount (OVR 84)
We've got a terrific trio of Englishmen coming up, starting with Chelsea's Mason Mount.
He always feels class to use in-game and, as another young talent, will just keep improving.
Declan Rice (OVR 84)
You could break hearts by stealing away West Ham's captain Declan Rice after a couple of seasons in FIFA 23.
The midfield enforcer could become one of the best CDMs in the game, so we would recommend trying to lure him away.
Bukayo Saka (OVR 82)
Another man who is loved by his club, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka is also up for grabs at the end of your second Career Mode season.
Leaked to be rated 82 OVR at the start of the game, he could also have a 90+ potential.
Phil Foden (OVR 85)
We all know what a top talent Phil Foden is and he is set to get better and better!
With a potential expected of 90+, the sooner you can get the Manchester City player onto your side the better.
