In real life, Sunderland recently confirmed that club captain Corry Evans will leave the club when his contract expires in the summer.

Evans (estimated as earning £6k-per-week) made 67 appearances across three seasons at the club having joined from Blackburn Rovers, and was an integral part of the side that won promotion from League One and then stabilised in the Championship. He departs after recently recovering from a major ACL injury.

Evans is one of four members of the senior squad who will leave as their contracts come to an end this summer, with Bradley Dack (estimated as earning £15k-per-week) departing after an injury-hit first campaign at the club. Jack Diamond will leave after Sunderland opted not to take up the year-long extension on his current deal following a loan at Carlisle United, while fellow academy graduate Ellis Taylor will also depart.
