Cardiff City players contracts up this Summer :

Mon Apr 13, 2026 12:50 pm

Perry Ng’s contract runs out.

Joel Bagan and Ryan Wintle are also set to see their deals expire with the Bluebirds, both having made more than 30 appearances for Cardiff this season in their promotion push.


BBM:

"I know when you're a player and go into the last year of your contract and you're playing as well as they are, your team are seeing what's available everywhere and that's normal,” Barry-Murphy added.

The manager made it clear that “our job is to look after Cardiff and make sure we’re prepared for every eventuality”.

Cardiff are also set to lose loanees Omari Kellyman (Chelsea) and Callum Scanlon (Liverpool) to their parent clubs following this season.

And while goalkeeper Nathan Trott’s loan with the Bluebirds expires at the end of the season, Cardiff do have the option to make the move permanent for the stopper, £1.5million ,who has made 43 appearances in all competitions this season.

Apparently all three are in talks for a new deal.

Ng and Wintle are no brainers, both deserve to extend their stay.

Bagan has surprised me this season, really stepped up and proved what he can do. 100% should stay.

I'm not saying they should all be first choice for the starting 11 in the Championship, but they all do deserve to stay at the club.

Definitely needs sorting i think we will need all 3 next season even if they aren't starting games they will be valuable squad players

Depends on Mr Tan and what he sees, the players will see that too. Do they want to stay in a side that may come straight back down? We will come straight back down if we stick with same team, good players in League 1 yes but Championship is another level again as we know and potentially some huge games next season Jacks, Wrexham, Bristol, Burnley, Wolves, maybe Spurs or West ham.

In my humble opinion I think if he tries to do it on a budget then we will struggle, I think Lawlor will go for definate, I dont think we will buy Trott hence the keeper we bought who hasnt played a game. Im enjoying the moment before the craziness starts at end of season and the usual we buying this player, that player, Bezos is on a private jet into Cardiff to buy us because my mate knows. :bluebird:

My view of Bagan is if he was right footed he simply wouldn't be good enough. That said he isn't, left backs are like rocking horse shit and he's easily the most improved player this season, so he's also a no brainer for a new deal

Bagan has been quality not just because he is left footed. Needs a contract

I would imagine that their greedy agents are telling them to hang on for as long as possible so they can see what else is on offer, also to see where we are next season.

Fully agree eith both of you.
It's a cade of 3 decent numbers which can either push on and prove championship starting spots or good squad players for another long campaign

I’m sure there’s work going on behind the scenes with regards to this.

We need all three onboard next season in my opinion.

I'd keep them all, sign Trott and try and borrow Dcanlon and Kellyman again.

Although with BBM's reputation and being in the Championship, we might get some cracking loans.

I'd ensure NG, Wintle who are mates sign . Really good workhorses, with ability.

Bagan well deserves a contract .

Trott is decent, great with ball control .

I'd like the Lincon keeper George Wickens.
