Swansea City release retained list but futures of out-of-contract trio remain uncertain

Swansea City have confirmed that out-of-contract trio Joel Latibeaudiere, Kyle Naughton and Ryan Manning are currently set to leave the club this summer.

All three players will become free agents when their contracts expire in June, and there has not yet been any sign of any significant breakthrough in tying any of them down to an extended stay. Outgoing boss Russell Martin had been hopeful of keeping all three on board, but his imminent departure may well have complicated the picture.

Releasing their latest retained list ahead of the 2023-24 season, the Swans have also confirmed the departure of goalkeeper Andreas Sondergaard, who will move on once his short-term deal expires.

Highly-rated academy products Tivonge Rushesha and Daniel Williams, both of whom have featured at first-team level, are also set to depart. Elsewhere in the academy, Sam Leverett, Tarrelle Whittaker, Geoffroy Bony, Corey Hurford, Jada Mawongo, David Roberts and Wasiri Williams will all leave. Josh Carey, Richard Faakye, Zane Myers and Evan Watts have all been offered professional contracts.

The club have listed Michael Obafemi as a retained player, although he will now complete a permanent move to Burnley following his recent loan spell at Turf Moor.

Swansea City retained list: Azeem Abdulai, Joe Allen, Mitchell Bates, Steven Benda, Ben Blythe, Ben Cabango, Cameron Congreve, Brandon Cooper, Jack Cooper, Ollie Cooper, Joel Cotterill, Liam Cullen, Sebastian Dabrowski, Harry Darling, Rohan Davies, Ruben Davies, Jack Fanning, Andy Fisher, Jay Fulton, Aimar Govea, Ewan Griffiths, Matt Grimes, Ben Hughes, Kian Jenkins, Harry Jones, Kyle Joseph, Cameron Llewellyn, Fillip Lissah, Ben Lloyd, Kai Ludvigsen, Kit Margetson, Archie Matthews, Lincoln McFayden, Remy Mitchell, Iwan Morgan, Olivier Ntcham, Michael Obafemi, Nathanael Ogbeta, Arthur Parker, Sam Parker, Jamie Paterson, Joel Piroe, Liam Smith, Jack Stafford, Joe Thomas, Joshua Thomas, Charlie Veevers, Liam Walsh, Daniel Watts, Lewis Webb, Morgan Whittaker, Kyrell Wilson, Nathan Wood.
