In Football Manager 26, free agents can temporarily bolster your squad while you recruit players to assemble a winning team.
Fans of Football Manager 2026 can finally breathe a sigh of relief after Sports Interactive took a year’s break to work on improvements. Now those improvements and enhancements have been made available to players worldwide. So, before you gear up to go on your managerial journey, here are a few players you should look to recruit. You wouldn’t have to evaluate every aspect of the transfer because these players are currently free agents.
Top 5 Free Agents To Sign in Football Manager 2026
1) Takehiro Tomiyasu
The former Arsenal defender is one of the many talented Football Manager 26 free agents. Tomiyasu’s ability never came into question during his stint at the London-based club. However, his constant injury troubles led to the mutual parting with the Gunners. Arsenal’s loss could be your gain as the Japanese star could do a job for your team. His experience and ability could positively influence your managerial ambitions. If you can look past his injury issues and plan accordingly, Tomiyasu could be an asset.
2) Oriol Romeu
Oriol Romeu made a mark during his stint in Europe with Southampton and Barcelona. The defensive midfielder played a vital part whenever deployed at the heart of midfield. The 33-year-old was released by Barcelona at the end of a loan spell with Girona. While the Spanish club released the Spaniard after reinforcing their midfield, that doesn’t mean Romeu’s stock has taken a massive fall. He can still put up stellar performances depending on the opposition and conditions. So make sure to snag Romeu if you are looking to bolster your midfield.

3) Sergio Reguilion
Sergio Reguilion could prove to be a savvy pickup if you are looking to bolster your defensive options. The fact that the Spaniard is only 28 years old means that he is entering the twilight of his career. With a new leash on life, the left-back could revitalize your chances, alongside kick-starting his own career. You should look to acquire him quickly, though, as he could amass several offers.
4) Fernandinho
The former Manchester City star’s passion for the sport doesn’t seem to have waned even at the ripe age of 40. The Brazilian is not going to be a pillar that you build your team around. Nevertheless, he could prove serviceable in the short term. If you are unable to sign your priority target for midfield and don’t want to settle on replacements, perhaps you could look to recruit Fernandinho to do a job for your team in the defensive midfield position.
5) Lorenzo Insigne
The former Napoli star is available as a free agent in Football Manager 2026 after being let go by MLS club Toronto FC in 2025. The attacker who can also play as a striker can do a serviceable job for your team in the short term if you look to recruit him. His attacking prowess and experience could influence your squad positively while also providing some valuable output on the pitch. So look to sign him as a free agent if you require attacking reinforcements.
