How long do West Brom have to confirm released and retained squad list?

Albion are yet to confirm the futures of their out of contract squad members, as a deadline approaches.

Six senior players at The Hawthorns see their terms expire at the end of June.

They include four attackers - two strikers and two wide players - and two goalkeepers.

And the status of those individuals will require confirmation prior to the Football League’s deadline, which is the third Saturday of the month.

League rules state Albion must confirm the contract latest by this Saturday, May 16.

Only clubs involved in play-off action are permitted an extension.

Club captain Jed Wallace is at the end of the four-year deal he penned in 2022.

He is joined by Karlan Grant, who has been with the Baggies for six years.

Strikers Daryl Dike and Josh Maja are both out of contract. Both have endured injury-hit stints at Albion but featured for James Morrison towards the end of the campaign.

Otherwise two of the club’s three senior shot-stoppers see their deals end.

Max O’Leary, who only checked in on a short-term deal in January, is out of contract. The same goes for Joe Wildsmith, who has spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Middlesbrough and has not played a minute.

Director of football operations Ian Pearce, technical director Dominic Price and head coach James Morrison held talks on the squad’s make-up.

Morrison said of the futures of his out-of-contract players after the final Championship match at Sheffield Wednesday: “Obviously negotiations can take time. I'm sure the conversations have started already.

“It's just to see how up to the players and the club, if they can match deals.

“Sometimes these deals take long but I hope the players can feel what we've started here and the principles of what we've built, and that will be going forward.”
