Potential departures from Portsmouth this summer are under scrutiny, especially with the end of the season approaching. It’s common practice for clubs to part ways with players whose contracts are expiring, either due to limited playing time, age considerations, or a desire to seek new opportunities elsewhere.
Portsmouth, currently leading in League One, are no exception. As they eye a potential promotion to the Championship, the club is evaluating its roster, aiming to strengthen its financial position and squad depth.
Sean Raggett, a regular presence this season, may find himself surplus to requirements if promotion is secured, given the impending return of injured players and the expiration of his contract. Joining him on the potential exit list are two other players:
Ryan Schofield, the former Huddersfield Town goalkeeper, arrived at Fratton Park last summer but has struggled to secure a starting spot, finding himself relegated to third choice. Pompey’s attempt to loan him out in January suggests a departure is likely, especially with two other goalkeepers ahead of him.
Josh Martin, signed from Norwich City on a short-term deal, has provided depth to the squad but may seek opportunities elsewhere if Portsmouth secures promotion, given his limited playing time.
Portsmouth’s proactive approach in the January transfer window, coupled with their strong position in the league, indicates a promising path to Championship promotion. However, speculation and strategic decisions around player contracts continue to shape the club’s future, as seen in the potential clauses involving various players’ transfers.
