West Ham Confirms Three Departures After Relegation

West Ham United is set to part ways with three players – Łukasz Fabiański, Adama Traoré, and Axel Disasi – following their relegation to the Championship, according to Sky Sports. The Hammers have released their retained list for the 2025/26 season, and Fabiański, Traoré, and Chelsea loanee Disasi are not included. Veteran goalkeeper Fabiański departs after eight years in East London and will become a free agent in the summer transfer window.

The Polish international leaves with 216 appearances for the Hammers and one trophy to his name: the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2023. The 30-year-old Traoré arrived from Fulham in January, though West Ham did not disclose the length of his contract at the time. In his five months with the team, the Spaniard played 12 matches but failed to score for the London club. French central defender Axel Disasi will return to Chelsea, having been on loan for the second half of the past campaign. Next season, West Ham will compete in the second tier of English football for the first time since 2011/12, after finishing 18th in the Premier League.
