West Bromwich Albion still find themselves in limbo regarding two of their key central defenders from the previous campaign, with Kyle Bartley and Cedric Kipre still yet to commit their futures to the club.
The pair are both set to become free agents when their current deals come to an end on Sunday, although the Baggies have tabled extended deals to both defenders after their impressive 23/24 campaigns.
Former Wigan Athletic man Kipre is said to be a target for Turkish Super Big sid Trabzonspor during the summer transfer window, according to reports from Turkish outlet Sabah.
If the centre-backs are to depart the Hawthorns this season, replacements will be needed urgently, although Albion may already have a decent reserve on their books already after coming up through the ranks.

Caleb Taylor is yet to start a league game for the Baggies after emerging from the academy at the Hawthorns, but has already shown his prowess with two promising loan spells away from the club.
The 22/23 campaign saw the 21-year-old spend the season with Cheltenham Town in the third tier, where he played in all but one game for the Robins as they maintained their status as a League One side.
