When Harry Maguire signed a new Manchester United contract this month, the experienced England defender removed himself from the list of this summer's potential free agents.

Some big Premier League names have already announced their intention to leave when their deals expire - including Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva, Liverpool's Andy Robertson, Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier and Maguire's team-mate Casemiro.

But the future of many senior players remains uncertain, with fewer than five weeks of the league season remaining.

From returning loanees to stand-out performers who are likely to be in demand elsewhere, BBC Sport takes stock of more than 60 players who could be on the move come June.

Estonia goalkeeper Karl Hein, 24, who made his sole senior appearance for the Gunners in a League Cup fixture in 2022, is the only player out of contract. Hein has been on loan at Werder Bremen this season, following similar spells at Reading and Real Valladolid.

Unai Emery has no immediate contract worries, with all of his first-team squad contracted until at least 2027. There was a suggestion Ross Barkley, 32, was out of contract this summer but it is understood the former England midfielder signed a three-year deal when he joined from Luton Town in July 2024.

Head coach Andoni Iraola is one man who will definitely be leaving Vitality Stadium in a few weeks. And his replacement, Marco Rose, will be desperate for defender Marcos Senesi to stay in Dorset.

The impressive Argentine, 28, has started every league game this season bar one - for which he was suspended - but has already rejected three new offers from the Cherries, amid reported interest from Juventus and a host of Premier League clubs.

Third-choice keeper Fraser Forster, 38, has not featured for Bournemouth since signing a six-month deal in January.

Brentford boss Keith Andrews can avoid having to replace a considerable amount of Premier League experience this summer by triggering a trio of extensions.

Jamaica left-back Rico Henry, 28, has turned in some sparkling displays in the Bees' push for Europe and the club have an option to extend his stay for an additional year, as they do with midfielders Mathias Jensen, 30, and Josh Dasilva, 27, who was given a short-term deal in October as he recovers from three injury-ravaged seasons.

Brighton stand to lose a huge amount of top-flight know-how this summer.

James Milner, 40, now the leading appearance maker in Premier League history, is undecided about his future but remains influential.

Defenders Adam Webster, 31, and Joel Veltman, 34, could also become free agents. Webster, sidelined with a serious ACL injury since July 2025, has spoken publicly about wanting to stay.

Winger Solly March, 31, another long-serving player beset by serious knee injuries, has struggled for game time in the past three campaigns.

Lewis Dunk's contract was due to be up this summer, but BBC Sport understands the 34-year-old has triggered a one-year extension.
