Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier is set to oversee a major clearout at the end of the season.
The Sun says big earners Stephen Warnock, Stephen Ireland, John Carew, Luke Young and Habib Beye are likely to be moved on in the summer.
Another out of contract in the summer is midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker.
He has been central to Houllier's plans since the Frenchman took over but it is understood the player wants to look at all of his options at the end of the season.
