Tyrick Mitchell and 7 Crystal Palace stars set to leave club next summer as January window nears.
Crystal Palace could lose eight first team stars as free agents next summer as it stands.
After a difficult start to the Premier League season, it’s looking to be a festive season of cheer for Crystal Palace and Oliver Glasner.
The Eagles made the most of a sloppy Brighton performance at the weekend to romp home to a 3-1 win over their bitter rivals. It was two summer transfer signings among the goals at the AMEX Stadium, Ismalia Saar bagging a brace after Trevoh Chalobah opened the scoring.
With the January window around the corner, Glasner and Palace may be looking to bring in more new recruits but there are also negotiations to be had at home with several first team players’ contracts running out at the end of the campaign.
Crystal Palace could look to cash in on any of those stars in January, rather than face the prospect of a departure as a free agent come the end of the season. LondonWorld looks at the eight Eagles men currently set to leave the club at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Tyrick Mitchell.
The Crystal Palace academy product signed a contract extension with the club in 2021, which will expire at the end of the current season. Steve Parish labelled the defender’s progress as ‘an immense source of pride’ at the time.
In September, Football Insider reported that the club was ‘set to kick off contract talks’ with Mitchell as Premier League clubs monitored his future. There is yet to be an update on any potential extension.
Extended his stay by one year in May. The midfielder’s contract had been due to expire at the end of last season but he remains an important member of the squad. The 29-year-old arrived at Selhurst Park in 2021 from Watford on a £6 million deal that could rise to £10 million with add-ons.
Was another confirmed to have signed a one-year extension in May with his previous deal due to expire. There’s been no talk of the player elongating his stay at Selhurst Park again and Celtic were credited with transfer interest in the 31-year-old this summer.
Joel Ward
The final of the trio whose one-year contract extensions were all confirmed at the same time earlier this year by Crystal Palace. The full-back has played for the Eagles since 2012 but has found himself warming the bench in the Premier League this season.
Speaking in May, Parish said: “As well as playing a pivotal role on the pitch, Will, Jeff and Joel are natural leaders in the dressing room who embody the Crystal Palace DNA and who help set a culture of the highest standards at the training ground.”
