Mitchell may yet stay. The club wants him and he wants to stay, but the financial gap may be too wide to overcome. That said those close to Mitchell have been talking about next year as if he will still be there but history shows players who wait this long to re-sign generally don't.

"I hope he stays, I'm sure him and the club will sort it out in the next few weeks," Parker said at the Swans' Mad Monday celebrations.
'He has been a massive contributor, a big reason why we're so successful this year.
"With all those young blokes coming through, playing their role and really taking their game to another level.
"We've seen Tommy just getting better every year."
