Preseason friendlies tend to be devoid of competitive tension and players willing to put themselves on the line in the same way they might be during the season. There was no suggestion of that during RCD Mallorca‘s clash with West Bromwich Albion on Saturday though.
It might be preseason, but Samu Costa is still getting under the skin of his opponents.West Brom’s Jason Molumby flew a punch at the Portuguese during their preseason
These 9 West Brom players will exit The Hawthorns in 2025 if circumstances don’t change
The likes of Cedric Kipre, Matt Phillips, Erik Pieters, Adam Reach, Nathaniel Chalobah and Yann M’Vila have all moved on for free since their contracts with the Baggies came to an end.
As things stand, there could be a big exodus of out of contract players from The Hawthorns again this time next year.
There are currently nine first-team players who will see their deals with West Brom come to an end in the summer of 2025, as per Transfermarkt, and we’ve taken a look at them, right here.
With his deal having been due to expire this summer, West Brom made a popular move by extending Kyle Bartley’s contract until the end of the 2024/25 season recently.
One of the club’s longest-serving players, the centre-back could also trigger a further 12 month extension on that deal until the summer of 2026, if he makes enough appearances this season.
Signed from QPR in the summer of 2019, Darnell Furlong has been a good bit of business for West Brom, making over 200 appearances for the club, and consistently performing well.
Now entering the final year of his contract, the 28-year-old is another the Baggies will likely want to keep, as their only senior option at right-back.
Returning for a second spell with the club in the summer of 2022, Okay Yokuslu is now in the final 12 months of the three-year deal he signed at that point.
However, the midfielder’s future looks uncertain now. Reports have claimed Trabzonspor were close to signing him, but that Carlos Corberan has intervened to try and keep him at West Brom.
