Pompey announced their retained list more than two weeks ago as John Mousinho began his preparations for next season.
Kusini Yengi was the most high-profile departure along with Tom Lowery, Anthony Scully, Alexander Milosevic and Cohen Bramall.
But the Blues’ quintet aren’t the only players on the lookout for new homes ahead of the 2025-26 term.
In fact, there are 25 players who have once called Fratton Park their home who have since been released from their respective clubs.

22. Marcus Harness - Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town opted against triggering a 12-month option in the winger’s deal at Portman Road and was released along with Massimo Luongo following the Tractor Boys’ Premier League relegation. The former Pompey winger wasted no time in finding a fresh start and has dropped to League One to sign for Huddersfield Town. Harness left Fratton Park in 2022 for a reported £800,000 fee. | National World
