Pompey announced their retained list more than two weeks ago as John Mousinho began his preparations for next season.
Kusini Yengi was the most high-profile departure along with Tom Lowery, Anthony Scully, Alexander Milosevic and Cohen Bramall.
But the Blues’ quintet aren’t the only players on the lookout for new homes ahead of the 2025-26 term.
In fact, there are 25 players who have once called Fratton Park their home who have since been released from their respective clubs.
