Samuel "Semi" Ajayi, the Nigeria international defender, is reportedly expected to part ways with West Bromwich Albion at the end of the current season. While no official confirmation has been issued by the club or player, recent reports suggest that the Baggies may be preparing for life without the 30-year-old centre-back.
Ajayi, who joined West Brom from Rotherham United in 2019, has been a consistent presence in the club’s backline, racking up over 170 appearances and contributing 13 goals. However, with his current contract set to expire in June 2025, speculation around his future has intensified—especially following a serious hamstring injury in October 2024, which sidelined him for four months after requiring surgery.
In May 2022, Ajayi signed a contract extension, but the club now faces a key decision: negotiate a new deal or risk losing him for free next summer. Opinion pieces and reports from English outlets such as The 72 highlight the growing concern that West Brom may not be willing to offer an extension, potentially making this season his last at The Hawthorns.
With the defender now in the final year of his deal heading into the 2025–26 season, both club and player may be weighing their options. Ajayi’s future remains uncertain, but signs increasingly point to a departure once the current campaign concludes.
