The Black Cats will have several decisions to make at the end of the season, including the appointment of a new head coach following Michael Beale’s sacking and Mike Dodds’ interim stint during the rest of the 2023-24 campaign.
In terms of transfers, there are still several decisions to be made and many questions surrounding certain members of the Black Cats’ playing squad.
Here, though, we take a look at the players likely to leave Sunderland during the summer as things stand. We also take a look at the stars that might leave and some squad members that definitely won’t:
5. Patrick Roberts - won't leave
Roberts signed a new deal to keep him at the club until the summer of 2026 in November last year, which will likely put an end to any transfer interest. Photo: Ed Sykes
6. Romaine Mundle - won't leave
The winger signed a long-term deal at Sunderland last summer and is a likely long-term replacement for Jack Clarke. Photo: BRUNO FAHY
7. Bradley Dack - likely to leave
The former Blackburn Rovers man has spent most of the season injured. Dack's contract ends in June. Sunderland do have the option to extend that deal but that scenario looks unlikely at present. Photo: Jess Hornby
8. Jenson Seelt - won't leave
The Dutchman joined Sunderland last summer and is seen as a long-term project and investment for the club. He is highly unlikely to leave Sunderland on a permanent deal after the season ends. Photo: Nigel Roddis
