The 20 top-flight teams submitted their retained lists earlier this month with a number of stars set to become free agents when their contracts expire at the end of the month.
Leeds United released four senior players while the departures at the likes of Burnley, Watford and Manchester United passed double figures.
Some out-of-contract players are unlikely to be without a club for long, as a number of sides from the Premier League, Championship and from across Europe look to bolster their respective ranks.
Alexandre Lacazette has already signed a three-year deal at Lyon after leaving upon the expiration of his Arsenal contract while Leeds midfielder Josh Galloway will join Scottish League Two side Annan Athletic on a free transfer when his contract expires later this month.
We have selected 13 released players who are set to be snapped up early in the transfer window, with reports already linking several with new clubs.
Would any of these players fill a hole in your club's squad?
