The Black Cats will be looking to make new additions ahead of next season, while some players are set to leave the club before the start of the next campaign.
We’ve taken a closer look at every Sunderland player’s situation – including the players who are out on loan - and what to expect this summer.
29. Isaac Lihadji
Like Bennette, Linadji is adapting to life in England, with the language barrier providing challenges. That could limit Sunderland’s options if they want to loan the 20-year-old out this summer, and it will probably be better for him to remain on Wearside. Photo: PASCAL POCHARD-CASABIANCA
30. Joe Gelhardt
It’s been a challenging few months for the Leeds United loanee who has been asked to lead the line on his own due to the squad’s lack of striker options. At this stage it seems unlikely Sunderland will try to re-sign the 20-year-old next season. Photo: Frank Reid
31. Ross Stewart
Several clubs have been tracking Sunderland’s top scorer, yet an Achilles injury has cut his season short. That may have cooled interest from elsewhere, while the Black Cats remain in talks with the 26-year-old over a new long-term deal. It’s hoped Stewart will be able to return for pre-season.
