Clubs have started releasing list of players who will be allowed to leave the team in the summer owing to the expiration of their contract as they begin preparation in earnest for the start of another season, OGN reports.
English Championship side QPR are among the teams who have made known the players that will be allowed to leave the club on a free transfer and it includes Nigeria international defender Leon Balogun.
Balogun was signed as a free player in August following the expiration of his contract at Scottish side Rangers last summer. At QPR he managed to play just 16 games as he battled for form and fitness due to injuries. It has been the similar story at club level for Balogun, who has 46 caps for Nigeria.
34 year old Balogun is said to be weighing up a return to Germany, where he started his career but he is reportedly open to returning to Scotland or staying in England.
He isn’t the only Nigerian shown the exit door at the club with Luke Amos also making the list of players who can leave the club after making 21 appearances. His best return after a lengthy injury lay off.
The 26 year old former Tottenham youngster joined the team permanently in the summer of 2020 after a season on loan, and made a total of 95 appearances in a time hampered by knee problems.
In total six players were sent packing by the club while contract talks is ongoing with eight others the club wants to keep and it includes another Nigerian in Olamide Shodipo.
