In addition to dealing with other teams on transfers, West Brom has had a number of players depart the team this summer as their contracts came to an end.
Since their contracts with the Baggies ended, players including Yann M’Vila, Matt Phillips, Erik Pieters, Adam Reach, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Cedric Kipre have all gone on for free.
As things stand, The Hawthorns may see a significant player exodus from out-of-contract players around this time next year.
Transfermarkt reports that nine first-team players will have their contracts with West Brom expire in the summer of 2025. We’ve looked at them all right here.
Semi Ajayi
Signed from Rotherham United in 2019, Ajayi has made over 150 appearances in all competitions for the Baggies.
He has, however, not been quite as much of a regular feature in recent seasons, which may give the club a decision to make over his future as the centre-back enters the final year of his deal.
Kyle Bartley
With his deal having been due to expire this summer, West Brom made a popular move by extending Kyle Bartley’s contract until the end of the 2024/25 season recently.
One of the club’s longest-serving players, the centre-back could also trigger a further 12 month extension on that deal until the summer of 2026, if he makes enough appearances this season.
Conor Townsend
Another of the Baggies’ longest-serving players, Conor Townsend, has made well over 200 appearances for the club.
He is now in the final year of his contract at The Hawthorns, but as their only current natural first-team left-back, they may want to keep him around for a bit longer.
Darnell Furlong
Signed from QPR in the summer of 2019, Darnell Furlong has been a good bit of business for West Brom, making over 200 appearances for the club, and consistently performing well.
Now entering the final year of his contract, the 28-year-old is another the Baggies will likely want to keep, as their only senior option at right-back.
Okay Yokuslu
Returning for a second spell with the club in the summer of 2022, Okay Yokuslu is now in the final 12 months of the three-year deal he signed at that point.
However, the midfielder’s future looks uncertain now. Reports have claimed Trabzonspor were close to signing him, but that Carlos Corberan has intervened to try and keep him at West Brom.
John Swift
John Swift is another who has been the subject of speculation this summer, with reports that Middlesbrough considered but then ruled out a move for the midfielder.
The 29-year-old has come up with some big moments in a Baggies shirt and there will be more decisions to make as he enters the final year of his deal at The Hawthorns.
Jayson Molumby
Initially joining on loan from Brighton in the summer of 2021, Jayson Molumby made his move to West Brom permanent the following year.
He is now into the final 12 months of the contract he signed at that time, and having missed the second-half of last season through injury, he will now look to get back in the side to earn a new deal.
Grady Diangana
So good was Grady Diangana in helping West Brom win promotion from the Championship in the 2019/20 season, that the Baggies spent big money to sign him permanently from West Ham.
While that did not go down well with some of those at The Hammers, the winger is yet to hit those heights again, setting up an interesting final year of his deal as his future comes up for debate.
Brandon Thomas-Asante
Signed from Salford City in the summer of 2022, Brandon Thomas-Asante has finished as the Baggies’ top scorer in the last two seasons.
He is now reported to be attracting attention from Premier League new boys Southampton, which could put West Brom under pressure as the striker enters the final year of his current contract.
