Nine players from Sunderland are poised to depart this summer as their contracts near expiration, with crucial decisions looming. With just eight league games left in the current season, Sunderland faces the task of determining the fate of several players’ contracts.
While Sunderland has successfully secured long-term commitments from many key players over the past year, there remains a group whose contracts are set to conclude at the campaign’s end.
Highlighted below are nine players falling into this category, slated to exit the club unless contract negotiations intervene:
- Callum Styles: Initially joining Sunderland on loan in January, the 24-year-old’s contract is due to conclude at season’s end. However, Sunderland holds an option to secure his services permanently.
- Corry Evans: Recently back from an ACL injury, the Sunderland captain’s contract expires this summer, with the club holding an option for an additional year. Evans, aged 33, seeks to showcase his fitness in upcoming matches for potential contract extension.
- Mason Burstow: Secured on a season-long loan from Chelsea, the 20-year-old forward’s tenure at Sunderland has been challenging, having only scored once in 20 Championship appearances.
- Ellis Taylor: After an unsatisfactory loan stint at Hartlepool, the 20-year-old winger has struggled to break into Sunderland’s first team. Hindered by recent injury, his contract is set to end this summer.
