No fewer than 79 Primera Division footballers in Spain are free to sign for new clubs this summer...
The Spanish press today unveiled a list of 79 top-flight players in Spain who are free to discuss terms with other clubs for when their contracts expire on June 30th.
These "Bosmans" range from out-of-favour bit-part players to well-known superstars, and from youngsters to those veterans who are on the downswing of their careers.
Among the more prominent players are Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro and Valencia striker Fernando Morientes, while Real Betis captain Juanito and Espanyol 'keeper Carlos Kameni are also attracting interest.
Here we provide a list of all those players who can discuss terms with other clubs, but be sure to also check out today's Spanish Debate for a closer look at the footballers involved.
