Out of contract best XI: Messi, Ramos, Donnarumma, Mata ....
The 2020/21 season officially came to an end on 30 June and with it the conclusion of contract deals for many high profile players including Sergio Ramos and Leo Messi.
As of midnight on 30 June, several high profile players became free agents with the final day of the month marking the last official day of the 2020/21 season.
Many of these players were in contract talks and other players such as Paul Pogba and Angel di Maria penned one year extension deals with their respective clubs.
Most analysts expect Leo Messi to remain with FC Barcelona and it's anticipated that the striker will confirm a new deal with the Catalan club at the conclusion of the Copa America with Argentina facing Ecuador in the quarter final.
Sergio Ramos is rumored to be on his way to PSG as we look at a side that could be created feature current 'free-agents'.

Ramos became a free agent on June 30 after Real Madrid offered the player just a 12 month extension with Ramos anxious to secure two years.
