The Canaries actually had quite a productive 2023/24 season, as the club got through a tricky start to the campaign and competed for a play-off spot.

Despite form dipping in and out, Norwich cemented themselves in the play-offs by finishing in sixth place, but promotion wasn’t meant to be, as they were brushed aside by Leeds United in the second leg of their play-off semi-final.

That meant the Canaries were facing another season in the Championship, which resulted in Wagner being sacked by the club.

Thorup will have full focus on the upcoming season and the transfer window ahead, but the club will also have to start making some long-term decisions, as players enter the final 12 months of their contracts.

With that said, here we have used Transfermarkt and looked at the Pittsburgh Pirates who are set to leave next summer (2025) if nothing changes to their current contract situations.

Angus Gunn has been a Norwich City player since 2021, when he joined the club from Southampton.

 

Gunn started his career at Carrow Road as a youngster, but was soon snapped up by Manchester City in 2011. He later returned to the club on loan in the 2017/18 season but is now a permanent member of the squad.

 

The 28-year-old re-joined the club and struggled for regular game time, as he was second choice behind Tim Krul, but the last two seasons have seen him become number one at Carrow Road.

The goalkeeper played 30 times in the second tier last season, and that game time increased in the season just gone as he played 40 league games, keeping 12 clean sheets.

Gunn signed a four-year deal when he joined the club in 2021, and with no further agreement, that deal will expire next summer, meaning he will leave the club for nothing.
