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:
13. Anthony Patterson - might leave
Another player likely to attract Premier League clubs given his 100-plus games for Sunderland. Again, the Black Cats are protected by a string contract but money talks in football should a lucrative bid come in. Photo: Ben Roberts Photo
