The Norwich City players who are going to leave in 2025 if nothing is done

The Norwich City players who are going to leave in 2025 if nothing is done

If contract extensions are not granted to those whose contracts expire, Norwich City may lose 11 players for nothing in June 2025.

The Canaries have had trouble staying consistent so far this season, and a run of bad performances against Burnley, Portsmouth, and Queen’s Park Rangers hasn’t helped their chances of qualifying for the playoffs lately.

Given that the former Premier League team has fallen short of expectations, Johannes Hoff Thorup will be carefully evaluating who he extends contracts to. A few players may be let go from Carrow Road when their contracts expire since there isn’t enough space in the team to add reinforcements.

These 11 Norwich players are certain to leave the team in the summer if a new contract cannot be reached, according to Transfermarkt.

Angus Gunn

Angus Gunn, a Scotland international, has experienced many highs and lows in Norfolk. The former Southampton goalie has shown himself to be a reliable goalie, but he has also been somewhat erratic.

The 28-year-old, who has been at Carrow Road since 2021, may look for a new challenge elsewhere when his contract expires in the summer.

Christian Fassnacht

Christian Fassnacht, 31, has an option for an additional year in his current contract, but his playing time has been limited this season due to injuries. When he joined from BSC Young Boys last summer, he looked like a true coup for Norwich, but he hasn’t been able to duplicate his form in Switzerland.

Emiliano Marcondes

Former Brentford star, Emiliano Marcondes, joined the Canaries in the summer after he was released by AFC Bournemouth.

The Dane has featured in the majority of City’s fixtures so far, and also has an option to extend his stay for a further year.

Jacob Sorensen

A Championship winner with the Canaries, Jacob Sorensen, has been with the East Anglian club since 2020.

Now 26, Sorensen finds himself as a rotation option in Thorup’s midfield. However, he also has the same clause in his contract as Fassnacht and Marcondes, allowing him to extend for an extra year.

Grant Hanley

Grant Hanley has lifted the Championship trophy three times in his career, proving his experience as a serial winner at this level.

The Scottish defender is nearing the twilight of his career and has barely featured for the Yellows this season. With no option to extend, Hanley could be off if no new deal is negotiated.

Onel Hernandez

At the club since 2017, Onel Hernandez is well established as part of the furniture at Carrow Road. Sadly, he suffered a hamstring injury which has kept him sidelined for some time.

Similarly to Sorensen, the Cuban winger is a rotation player for Thorup, so he won’t be the top priority for a new contract. However, the option for an extra year means that he could well stay put.

Ashley Barnes

Ashley Barnes finds himself out of the picture for Thorup’s side, having just a handful of appearances to his name.

The club have control over the future of the 35-year-old though, as he has a one-year extension that can be triggered by Norwich. Given his contributions this season, that seems unlikely to be utilized.

Tony Springett

Now 22, Tony Springett will be looking to make the next move in his career to find consistent playing time.

Sadly, his minutes have been limited at Carrow Road, which could certainly tempt him with a move away in the summer.

Jonathan Tomkinson

Jonathan Tomkinson is in a similar predicament to Springett when it comes to match minutes. The American defender has found game time hard to come by this season.

However, unlike the previous man on the list, the 22-year-old has an option for a further year.

Jaden Warner

Jaden Warner makes it a hattrick of 22-year-old’s struggling for game time. The defender had a solid loan spell at Notts County last year, but hasn’t had the chance to make an impact at Carrow Road.

With no option to extend his deal, Warner could look for opportunities elsewhere.

Archie Mair

Finally, young goalkeeper Archie Mair is the last player out of contract in the summer.

The 23-year-old hasn’t had a look in at Norwich, but has enjoyed some solid loan spells away. City also have the option to keep Mair at the club beyond 2025.
