In the summer 2026, we'll have Nelson on his final year. We'll also have Vestergaard and Faes going into theirs. I'm fairly confident Nelson will have his contract extended. If we don't go up, I think he's the most likely of our 4 CB's (Souttar excluded) to stay with us. If we go up, I think we dump Faes for any offer, and Nelson becomes a squad option for a Premier League side. I think that's probably a more desirable option for him as well. I'd like to see him play more and develop, but it's a long old season and I think he'll get a go whether by design or injury/suspension.
Saying his time here is done seems incredibly premature. Especially given the other options we have and their contract situations.
