Crystal Palace have eight players nearing the final few months of their contract, which could lead to a free transfer in the summer.
Oliver Glasner has kickstarted his era at Crystal Palace, with aims to take the club beyond just Premier League survival.
The head coach has been implementing his own style of football in his tenure so far, heading towards the summer.
The transfer window then offers an important time to make decisions about the playing squad and how that is shaped.
While the focus will be on incomings and outgoings, there will also be a keen eye on the contract situation.
As many as seven stars are out of contract in the coming months, which leads to some big decisions over whether they will stay or leave.
With that said, here’s a look at the Crystal Palace players out of contract this summer.
Crystal Palace contracts expiring
Jeffrey Schlupp
Another useful squad option, Jeffrey Schlupp has been a valuable option to the squad since joining from Leicester City in 2017, despite more recent struggles.
The 31-year-old is nearing the end of his contract, though Transfermarkt claims that there is a one-year clause in the deal that could be triggered for a 2025 stay.
Nathaniel Clyne
Nathaniel Clyne and Crystal Palace have long been associated with one another, since the right-back made his debut for the club over 15-years ago.
Spells with Southampton and Liverpool followed, before a return to Selhurst Park.
The right-back has more than 200 appearances for the Eagles, but he has struggled to break into the team this season.
Joel Ward
Another player with a long-running association with Palace is club captain Joel Ward, who has been around since 2012.
With over 350 appearances in blue and red, the right-back is a stalwart who is still earning a place in the team most weeks.
Jairo Riedewald
Jairo Riedewald is a player that has rarely featured this season, picking up just 337 minutes across all competitions.
The midfielder has struggled for minutes since the 2020/21 season, perhaps indicating a potential exit.
Nathan Ferguson
Nathan Ferguson was viewed as a highly promising prospect when he joined Crystal Palace on a free transfer from West Brom in 2020.
Two separate Achilles injuries have halted the defender’s progress in the past few seasons.
With just three appearances this season, it remains to be seen whether the 23-year-old can make it at Palace in the final few months of his contract.
James Tomkins
James Tomkins has spent eight-years at Crystal Palace, making 135 appearances across all competitions.
The 34-year-old has only featured four times this season though, with the defender seemingly heading towards an exit.
Remi Matthews
Backup goalkeeper Remi Matthews has been at the club since 2021, featuring on rare occasions for the club.
With injuries in the shot-stopping department, the 30-year-old has made one Premier League appearance this season.
