On Tuesday evening, Pompey announced five players will leave Fratton Park this summer following the expiry of their contracts.
Kusini Yengi, Cohen Bramall, Tom Lowery, Anthony Scully and Alexander Milosevic will all depart along with the Blues’ six loan players who have returned to their parent clubs.
Andre Dozzell and Zak Swanson have had 12-month options on their current terms taken up, while Ben Killip has been offered fresh terms to remain.
This means 25 players are currently contracted at Fratton Park next season as preparation gets underway for their second season back in the Championship.
Here’s who is still here and how long their current deals last for.

14. Paddy Lane
Lane’s future is also uncertain after a frustrating injury-hit campaign in the Championship. The winger still has a year remaining on his current three-and-a-half-year contract signed on deadline day in January 2023. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
15. Toby Steward
The Fratton Park youth product is yet to register a first-team appearance for the Blues but impressed during a four-game emergency loan at League One Crawley in the remaining weeks of the season. After penning a professional contract aged 17 in 2022, the keeper signed a new two-year agreement in 2024, which will now keep him at PO4 until next year. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
