The final Premier League matchday included emotional goodbyes for players leaving clubs, including Pep Guardiola, John Stones, Bernardo Silva, and Liverpool players Mo Salah and Andy Robertson. Several players remain under contract until June 30, but those in the last six months can sign pre-contract agreements with other teams, allowing clubs to negotiate immediately. Ibrahima Konate at Liverpool has not signed a new deal and could leave when his contract expires next month, despite ongoing talks. Fulham’s Harry Wilson is available on a free transfer, with his contract set to end, and Raul Jimenez is also expected to depart. Manchester City is set to lose Stones and Silva for free, while Manchester United will also part with Casemiro and Jadon Sancho, who is linked with Borussia Dortmund.
"The final day of the Premier League season featured emotional goodbyes left, right and centre. From Pep Guardiola, John Stones and Bernardo Silva leaving Manchester City, to Liverpool's Mo Salah and Andy Robertson walking off the Anfield pitch for the last time, there were tearful farewells wherever you looked. And with the 2026 World Cup around the corner, there are several high-profile players whose next steps in the domestic game are still to be decided."
"Although fans have now seen the likes of Salah and Silva represent their club for the last time, many free agents' contracts don't actually expire until June 30. However, players in the final six months of their deal are allowed to sign a pre-contract agreement with another team, which means clubs can start working on deals right now. And there are some big names available for free this summer across the Premier League and beyond."
"Liverpool centre back Ibrahima Konate is yet to sign a new deal at Anfield, so he could follow Salah and Robertson out of the door when his contract expires next month. The Frenchman has been in talks with the Reds over fresh terms, but his future remains up in the air. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week."
"Elsewhere in the Premier League, Fulham star Harry Wilson is also available on a free transfer with his deal set to run out. The Wales international, 29, has become a key figure at Craven Cottage and scored 11 goals in all competitions this season, with team-mate Raul Jimenez also set to depart next month. While City are set to lose Stones and Silva for free, Manchester United will also say goodbye to midfielder Casemiro and forgotten winger Jadon Sancho."
