The WNBA free agency has kicked off, and along with American players, several Europeans will be available in the trade market. Under the new CBA deal, the salaries of players will see a massive rise this season, up to $500,000. Let’s see a few foreign players who will demand big bucks from teams in this free agency.
#1. Satou Sabally
German player Satou Sabally led the Phoenix Mercury in 2025 with 16.3 points per game and was a crucial part of the team’s run to the WNBA finals. The dynamic forward possesses a modern skillset and is very comfortable in paint scoring and getting to the rim. Even though her jumpers have seen fluctuations, she has balanced her scoring well during dry phases.
#2. Marine Johannes
French player Marine Johannes has given some crucial minutes off the bench for the New York Liberty and features a unique playing style. She plays with flair and is one of the most creative guards who is comfortable with shooting.
#3. Gabby Williams
French player Gabby Williams will be one of the hottest prospects in the free agent market. She impacts the game in several ways and has been a 2-time All-Defense team member. Even then, she averages 11.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, along with 2.3 steals every game. She started every game for the Seattle Storm and possesses one of the best plus-minus numbers every game.
#4. Temi Fagbenle
Nigerian-British player Temi Fagbenle joined the Golden State Valkyries during the expansion draft and signed a one-year $90,000 contract. She provides efficient rim protection due to her size and also helps with scoring and spacing the floor.
