Several high-profile Black Stars players are without clubs following the conclusion of the 2025/2026 football season.

These include current skipper Jordan Ayew, deputy captain Thomas Partey, former team leader André Dede Ayew, and midfielder Kwasi Sibo.

Some of these players struggled to secure regular playing time during the season, while others failed to impress their managers, leading club hierarchies to decide against extending their contracts.

Despite this, many of them shone at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and are expected to continue their careers elsewhere, with no intention of retiring from the game.

Thomas Partey

Thomas Partey departed Villarreal in the summer 2026 after his contract expired, having failed to secure a regular role under head coach Marcelino.

The 32-year-old midfielder, who joined the Yellow Submarine after leaving Arsenal, struggled to cement a place in the starting lineup. He made just 18 appearances across all competitions, totaling 943 minutes on the pitch.

Reports indicate that Marcelino informed the club’s hierarchy that Partey does not feature in his long-term plans. He is said to be engaging with clubs for a possible move.

Jordan Ayew

The Black Stars captain left Leicester City at the end of the 2025/2026 season after the club confirmed he was among 10 senior players set to depart following their relegation to English League One.

The 34-year-old joined Leicester from Crystal Palace in August 2024 for a reported fee of £5 million, rising to £8 million with add-ons. He scored six goals in 42 appearances during the 2025/26 campaign.

Reports suggest Ayew has attracted interest from clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

André Dede Ayew

Dutch side NAC Breda confirmed that André Ayew would leave the club after the final match of the 2025/2026 season.

The Eredivisie club opted not to extend his contract after a difficult spell. Despite his pedigree and leadership, Ayew struggled to make a consistent impact.

His brightest moment came with a goal against Feyenoord, a rare highlight in an otherwise disappointing campaign. Currently, there are no reports of a possible move for the player.

Kwasi Sibo

Kwasi Sibo left Real Oviedo at the end of June 2026 when his contract expired, closing a remarkable chapter in his career after helping the club rise to Spain’s top flight.

The midfielder is now a free agent, with growing interest from Saudi Arabia and a lucrative contract reportedly on the table.

Sibo joined Oviedo from SD Amorebieta in 2024 and played a key role in their promotion. His performances also earned him a maiden call-up to the Black Stars.

He has disclosed interest from clubs in both England and Saudi Arabia.
