The 2023/24 Championship season is nearing its conclusion – with contract decisions to be made ahead of this summer’s transfer window.
Sunderland have managed to agree long-term deals with several of their key players but do have some members of the squad nearing the end of their current deals. The Black Cats’ Championship rivals will also be weighing up contract negotiations as the summer window approaches.
Here are 21 Championship players who are into the final year of their contracts – excluding those where clubs have a one-year extension option:
