Wednesday’s side will look very different next season with a whole host of players confirmed to be moving on, a move that will help Dejphon Chansiri bring down a wage bill at the club that has been severely weighing them down.
According to the German website, Wednesday’s two most valuable players - Adam Reach (£2.5m) and Tom Lees (£1.9m) are leaving the club for free at the end of the month, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have any players left who are worth some money.
SWFC apparently have six players who are worth upwards of £1m still on their books – and it’ll be interesting to see how many of them are left by the time the transfer window comes to a close in a few weeks’ time.
Here’s the top 10 most valuable Owls players, according to Transfermarkt.com, as things stand:
5. Sam Hutchinson - £540,000
The centre back/central midfielder is expected to be at Hillsborough next season after an extension in his contract was triggered - and he said that he was more than happy to stay, even in League One. Photo: Steve Ellis.
6. Massimo Luongo - £1.4m
Another player that, if fit and firing, could be massive in League One. He's battled with injuries for a while at Wednesday now, but is undoubtedly one of the most talented players in the squad. Photo: Steve Ellis
7. Dominic Iorfa - £1.3m
If he stays, Iorfa has the potential to be one of the best players in League One next season... He was attracting big interest prior to his Achilles injury, but now the focus will be getting more games under his belt as he seeks a full recovery. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Callum Paterson - £1.6m
Paterson is another player that had a decent 2020/21 season on a personal level despite the problems thrown at Wednesday, and no doubt there are a few clubs keeping an eye on him following the club's relegation into League One. Photo: Steve Ellis
