Danny Röhl has plenty of work to do as he looks to prepare his Owls side for another run at the Championship that hopefully doesn’t end with a relegation battle, and in order to do that they’re going to need to get some new players through the door - as well as agree terms with some of those currently on their books.
A whole host of contracts will expire at the end of June, and while the decision has been made to offer new deals to seven players, six of them - including George Byers, Lee Gregory and Reece James - will definitely be moving on.
Barry Bannan, Cameron Dawson, Di’Shon Bernard, Dominic Iorfa, Liam Palmer, Will Vaulks and Josh Windass have all been offered the option to stay at Hillsborough for next season, but until things are finalised the Owls have just 12 senior players on their books - and one of them has only made a couple of first team appearances.
Here’s how Wednesday’s squad for the upcoming campaign looks as things stand:
5. Pol Valentin
Valentin will have been an incredibly relieved man after playing a huge part in Wednesday's survival. He won't have wanted his debut season, and the first on a two-year deal, to have ended in relegation. | Steve Ellis
6. Marvin Johnson
His contract was coming to an end this summer after he penned a new deal a year ago, but there was an option to extend built into it that has been exercised. | Getty Images
7. Djeidi Gassama
Came on board from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, and will have been absolutely delighted to have played his part in securing Championship safety. | Getty Images
8. Anthony Musaba
It was a debut season to remember for the young Dutchman, and he'll be hoping to take things to another level once he's back in for preseason in a few weeks' time. | Steve Ellis
