Bournemouth have confirmed the release of 14 players after revealing their retained list for the 2024-25 season.
The big name on the list is former captain Lloyd Kelly, who is expected to join Newcastle as a free agent at the end of his contract.
Kelly captained the side to promotion back to the Premier League in 2021-22 – a role he handed over to Neto in 2023.
He played 141 times for Bournemouth in all competitions, though injuries restricted him to just 25 appearances in all competitions for the Cherries this season.
Four other first-team squad members have also been released, though none come as a surprise, as none of them made an appearances during the 2023-24 season.

Emilio Marcondes and Jamal Lowe featured during their promotion campaign, but have both spent much of the last two years out on loan.
Ryan Fredericks has not made an appearance since March 2023, due to persistent injuries.
Darren Randolph was brought in a 3rd choice keeper, but the 37-year-old didn’t play a single game for the club.
Bournemouth also brought in 21-year-old keeper Alex Paulsen from Australian A-League outfit Wellington Phoenix on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Cherries released nine players from their youth ranks, including Ollie Eagle, Harry Redknapp, Jack Holman and Noah Crisp from the Under-18s.
Ben Greenwood, Baylin Johnson, Ferdinand Okoh, Cameron Plain and Euan Pollock from Bournemouth’s development squad are also to leave the club.
After a slow start to the season, Bournemouth impressed under Andoni Iraola during his first season in charge.
The club finished 12th in the standings – but only one point below Crystal Palace who made the top ten.
