In this article, we take a look at the 240 free agents at Premier League and Championship clubs who could potentially leave this summer.
The season is coming to an end, and managers will have an idea of who they want to get rid of, who are out of contract, and what they need to do to boost their promotion hopes for the 2021/22 campaign.
Teams will be looking to strengthen and replace those injured with some big names still looking to secure themselves new clubs. Find out who are listed below starting with the Premier League, according to Nottingham Post…

SERGIO ROMERO
Sergio Romero hasn’t made a single appearance for Manchester United, falling out of favour behind Dean Henderson and David De Gea.
The 33-year-old has since been frozen out and is set to leave as a free agent when his contract expires at the end of the campaign.
Boca Juniors and River Plate are also options for Romero should he look to return home, but he is keen to remain in England to continue proving his quality.

Mamadou Sakho
Mamadou Sakho has been linked with a summer exit from Crystal Palace, and it is fair to say that signing of the Frenchman has not gone as envisaged for the Eagles.
Brought in from Liverpool for a reported fee of £26m in 2017 after initially impressing on loan, the 2013 Ligue 1 champion looked a great buy. However, the club haven’t received value for money, with the defender now interesting others.
In the four years since his permanent arrival at Selhurst Park, Sakho has made just 67 appearances as a full-time Eagles player due to a series of fitness issues. For context, Sakho has missed the same number of games through various injuries, indicating how often he has been ruled out.

Joe Lumley
26 year old Joe Lumley is a goalkeeper who has in the last few years been out on loan at various clubs, so this summer could be a great time to find one where someone of his age will want to be playing game in and game out.
