Arsenal
Mikel Arteta's side have prioritised extending the deals of players at risk of leaving in the near future and the contract situation for the team is in a strong position as a result.
Nothing to report for the summer and with no potential exits on a free, Arsenal can now concentrate on more important matters on the pitch.
Aston Villa
Ross Barkley
A seemingly shrewd addition to Unai Emery's squad when signed for just over £5m from Luton Town in 2024. Injuries have plagued his second stint at Villa, after previously joining on loan from Chelsea in the 2020/21 campaign, but has stepped in while Youri Tielemans and John McGinn were both out injured.
Whether that warrants a fresh deal at Villa Park remains to be seen.
Bournemouth
Marcos Senesi
In the absence of Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi, following their moves to Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain respectively, Senesi has become a fundamental cog at Bournemouth but now looks set to leave the club as a free agent.
Talks were reportedly under way regarding a new deal but like the future of his boss Andoni Iraola, there has been no news as of yet.
Sky Sports News reported Chelsea were targeting the player in the January transfer window but Bournemouth were reluctant to let him leave. Reports from across Europe have suggested Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus are monitoring his situation.
Brentford
Rico Henry
Brentford hold the option to extend Henry's 10-year stay in west London by an additional year so are in no danger of losing the left-back.
Henry has featured heavily this season but limped off with yet another injury against Bournemouth in early March.
Mathias Jensen
Another future at Brentford that the club are in control of. Jensen is one of three players with an option of an additional year in his current contract.
The 30-year-old has been used prominently in the Carabao Cup.
Josh Dasilva
Dasilva signed a deal in October to remain at the club until the end of the season after seeing his previous contract expire in the summer.
The 27-year-old is yet to return from a serious knee injury suffered in February but head coach Andrews has stressed his importance to the team. Brentford hold an option to keep him for a further 12 months if his return from injury goes to plan.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Adam Webster
A severe knee injury in pre-season has ruled Webster out for the majority of the current campaign, after thigh and hamstring problems limited him to just 11 starts in the Premier League in 2024/25.
Webster has been a key figure for the Seagulls since joining from Bristol City in 2019 but injury problems could now play their part in his future at the Amex Stadium. He has also made his intentions clear by saying he wants to remain at the club.
Solly March
With game time limited for the 31-year-old in wide areas but his return from injury ramping up, it is unclear whether the club will trigger the option to extend his stay by another year.
Joel Veltman
Veltman triggered an option to extend his stay at the club for an additional year last season but is now approaching the end of his contract.
The defender has spoken openly about his future amid links to his former club Ajax after admitting he will make a decision this summer but remains happy at Brighton.
James Milner
The Premier League veteran, who broke the record for most appearances in the top-flight in February, is undecided on whether he plays on past the current season but remains open to extending his deal at Brighton.
"I think things change very quickly in football, and I think when you get to my age things change very quickly as well," said the 40-year-old when asked about his contract situation.
"I'm pretty open at this moment in time. Whether I will or whether I won't [continue playing], I'm not sure. The club - we haven't had any conversations, so obviously the club have to be interested as well."
Burnley
Martin Dubravka
Dubravka signed a one-year deal with the Clarets upon their return to the Premier League. With relegation now likely for Burnley, his future at Turf Moor will likely be determined at the end of the season.
Josh Laurent
Laurent has been a useful member of the squad since joining from Stoke City in 2024. He signed a two-year deal when he first arrived at the club, with the option for a third.
Vaclav Hladky
The Czech Republic shot-stopper has been included in match-day squads sparingly this season and is yet to make an appearance in the 2025/26 campaign after featuring in pre-season.
With 21-year-old Max Weiss currently ahead of him as Dubravka's understudy, an exit feels inevitable.
Ashley Barnes
Barnes signed a deal running until the end of the season after terminating his contract at Norwich City in January, returning to Turf Moor almost 11 years after he first joined the club.
He then put pen to paper on a new one-year deal in the summer but has failed to make an impact in the Premier League.
Chelsea
Chelsea are known for offering long-term deals to their players and have no one approaching the end of their respective deals ahead of next summer.
Crystal Palace
Daichi Kamada
Sky Sports News have reported Kamada is set to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season. He signed as a free agent in 2024 but there is full expectation he will depart in the same manner to seek a fresh challenge in the summer.
Nathaniel Clyne
In his second spell with the Eagles, Clyne signed a one-year contract extension with the club in the summer.
Clyne will be 35 when his current contract expires but has filled in usefully when Daniel Munoz was injured.
Jefferson Lerma
Lerma is a useful and reliable option for Oliver Glasner to turn to, especially as he looks to balance fixture congestion with Europe.
It has been reported that talks for a new deal have been planned. The Eagles hold an option to extend his stay at Selhurst Park for an additional year.
Everton
Vitaliy Mykolenko
Both David Moyes and Mykolenko have confirmed talks regarding a new contract at Everton. The 26-year-old remains a key part of the squad with summer signing Adam Aznou yet to break into the first team.
Michael Keane
Another mainstay in Moyes' squad. Keane reportedly had offers to leave the Toffees in the summer but chose to remain on Merseyside by signing a new deal and is now benefiting from that decision.
Keane, 32, has an option to extend his stay for an additional 12 months.
Idrissa Gueye
Gueye signed a new deal in July, running until the end of the season, but the club hold an option for an additional year.
The Senegal international, in his second stint with the Toffees after leaving in 2019 to join PSG for £26m, has been a regular for Moyes in the league so far this season.
Seamus Coleman
The 36-year-old club legend signed a new deal just before the new campaign began to commit to a 17th season with the Blues.
He has been used sparingly but would likely jump at the chance to end his career at Everton with another deal, if he wishes to continue past the 2025/26 season.
Fulham
Ryan Sessegnon
The Fulham academy graduate rejoined the club on a free transfer after leaving Tottenham in 2024.
His importance is growing at Craven Cottage and the club hold an option to extend his stay by an additional 12 months. If he can stay fit and continue his current trajectory, expect a new deal with fresh terms to reflect his importance to arrive in the near future.
Harry Wilson
Harry Wilson looks increasingly likely to become a free agent when his contract at Fulham expires this summer.
Premier League clubs showed an interest in Wilson during the January transfer window but Fulham wanted to keep the player long-term and have held contract talks.
Sky Sports News understands Champions League clubs across Europe are also interested in signing the Wales international when he becomes a free agent.
Wilson has been free to negotiate pre-contract agreements with clubs abroad since January 1 after entering the final six months of his deal at Craven Cottage.
Raul Jimenez
Jimenez was another player whose contract was extended until the end of the 2025/26 season and he continues to play a key role for Silva, competing with Rodrigo Muniz for the starting role up front for the Cottagers.
Leeds United
Illan Meslier
The 25-year-old has fallen out of favour at Elland Road after previously being a mainstay in the team.
Meslier started 39 games on the way to Leeds' promotion to the Premier League last season but is yet to feature for the Lilywhites this season.
An exit from the club to bring his five-year stay to an end seems inevitable.
Sam Byram
Signed on a free transfer from West Ham in 2023, Byram was a useful option for Daniel Farke to turn to on their push for promotion, making 36 appearances in the Championship, but has been unable to have the same impact since the Whites returned to the top-flight.
Karl Darlow
Darlow has been a shrewd signing for just over £350,000 from Newcastle in 2023 and has solidified himself in the starting line-up as Leeds look to avoid relegation this season.
Alex Cairns
Academy graduate Cairns has never made a first-team appearance for Leeds since re-joining the club from Salford City in 2024.
Liverpool
Ibrahima Konate
Arne Slot has confirmed talks are ongoing with Ibrahima Konate regarding his contract at Liverpool.
Sky Sports News have previously reported Liverpool remain committed to re-signing Konate. Real Madrid have been among the teams monitoring his situation but reports have suggested that their interest is subsiding.
Liverpool will only agree terms with Konate if they are in keeping with their wage structure and they have also explored the market for potential replacements.
Andy Robertson
The veteran defender has insisted he is relaxed about his future at Anfield with his contract coming to an end this season.
A move to Tottenham stalled in the January transfer window after Liverpool failed to find cover at left-back. Sky Sports News understands a £5m deal was discussed between the two clubs.
Freddie Woodman
Woodman joined on a free transfer in the summer following the expiration of his contract at Preston North End.
In the absence of Alisson due to injury, Woodman has operated as Giorgi Mamardashvili's back-up. The club hold an option to extend his contract for a further year.
Rhys Williams
Even with numbers at centre back low at Liverpool following Giovanni Leoni's ACL injury at the beginning of the campaign, Liverpool have not handed Williams an appearance this season.
Manchester City
Bernardo Silva
Silva spoke openly about his future during the summer, outlining he is focused on the season but is aware he can leave the Etihad Stadium next summer.
He continues to play a crucial role for Pep Guardiola's side and had options to leave but remained at the club.
John Stones
The future of John Stones is yet to be decided, with the England centre-back also approaching the end of his current deal.
Marcus Bettinelli
Signed in the summer before Trafford and Donnarumma arrived at the Etihad, Bettinelli is yet to make his debut for the club.
Manchester United
Harry Maguire
Sky Sports News have reported that Manchester United are close to agreeing terms to extend Harry Maguire's stay at the club.
Maguire is one of the highest-paid players at Old Trafford, and his new salary level has yet to be decided. Both the player and club are keen for him to stay.
Casemiro
Casemiro is set to leave the club at the end of the season, ending his four-year stay at Old Trafford.
Sky Sports News understands United have decided not to take up that option nor renew his contract as they look to overhaul their midfield in the near future.
Casemiro is one of the highest earners in the squad and it was unlikely United would renew his contract as they looked to free up wage capacity to allow investment in the position.
Tom Heaton
Third-choice goalkeeper behind Senne Lammens and Altay Bayindir at the club. Heaton has not featured for United since the 2022/23 season and will be 40 when his contract expires.
Newcastle United
Fabian Schar
Schar extended his contract at the club in April and has admitted he would be open to discussing a new deal with the Magpies, while speaking to The Chronicle in October.
Schar, 33, has also hinted he would be ready to spend the rest of his career at St James' Park.
Kieran Trippier
Kieran Trippier has been reluctant to comment on his future, claiming he is not currently thinking about his expiring deal.
Sky Sports News reported Monaco were interested in signing the defender in the summer.
Emil Krafth
Krafth signed an extension in February to keep him at the club until the end of the 2025/26 season. The Sweden international right-back had been used rotationally early in the season but has not featured since November due to injury.
Max Thompson
The 21-year-old goalkeeper is yet to make his senior debut for the club and is currently on loan at Ayr United.
Mark Gillespie
Local-born goalkeeper Gillespie has not featured for Newcastle since the 2020/21 campaign.
Nottingham Forest
Angus Gunn
Signed for free in the summer window, Gunn has made one appearance for Nottingham Forest after replacing Mats Selz in goal against Crystal Palace in January.
Willy Boly
Boly signed a new one-year deal at the City Ground last summer but game time is limited with Murillo, Morato and Nikolo Milenkovic ahead of him at centre back.
He has also been out injured since the beginning of 2026.
Sunderland
Dennis Cirkin
Cirkin returned from injury earlier in the season before featuring for Sunderland but another setback in February has hindered his progression while entering the final six months of his deal.
Regis Le Bris has hinted that a new contract could be on the horizon for the 23-year-old.
Dan Neil
Neil started all 44 of his appearances in the Championship for Sunderland, but has fallen out of favour since the squad was revamped for the top flight.
He left the club on loan in January to join Ipswich town and will be a free agent in the summer.
Bertrand Traore
Signed from Ajax in the summer and has featured regularly for the Black Cats since arriving. Sunderland have an option to extend his deal by 12 months.
Joe Anderson
Anderson has featured once for Sunderland's U21 side so far this season and only made three appearances for them in 2024/25.
Harrison Jones
Jones has been included in Premier League match-day squads this season and started against Huddersfield in the Carabao Cup. Sunderland have an option to extend the 20-year-old's contract by a further year.
Simon Moore
Moore has been included in the match-day squad after an injury to Robin Roefs but is yet to feature this season. but is Melker Ellborg was signed by Sunderland in January, who has been preferred in the absence of Roefs.
Tottenham Hotspur
Ben Davies
The 32-year-old is the longest-serving senior player in the squad and has spoken openly about his future, claiming it was "not under his control" while speaking to football.london in August.
Yves Bissouma
The injury crisis at Tottenham has led to Yves Bissouma being reintegrated in the line-up
Reports have previously suggested the midfielder could be in line for an extension at the club to prevent him leaving for free in the summer but any decision likely hinges on Spurs avoiding relegation.
West Ham United
George Earthy
Earthy spent last season on loan at Bristol City, making 38 appearances across all competitions, and has returned to the Robins for the remainder of the current season.
Lukasz Fabianski
Game time looks limited for the 40-year-old goalkeeper, who is behind both Alphonse Areola and Mads Hermansen in the pecking order. A back injury has also sidelined him since October.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Ki-Jana Hoever
Hoever signed an extension running until 2026 before joining Ligue 1 side Auxerre on loan last season but is now approaching the end of that deal.
He is currently on loan at Sheffield United for the remainder of the season.
Matt Doherty
Doherty rejoined Wolves on a free transfer from Atletico Madrid in 2023, signing a three-year deal, and continues to play a role for the struggling Premier League side who are destined to be relegated.
Whether the experienced right-back stays at the club when they drop into the Championship, remains to be seen.
