Contract detail revealed as Svante Ingelsson discusses Sheffield Wednesday future
The settling of Sheffield Wednesday’s short and medium-term future will make things clearer for a number of their playing squad, with popular midfielder Svante Ingelsson among them.
As has become something of routine at S6, a bulk of the changing room are edging towards the end of their contracts with the club next summer and with a sales process approaching its conclusion, some questions will begin to be answered in the coming months with regard to where Wednesday intend to take things from a football perspective.
Among the decisions that will need to be made in the medium-term will be what contracts will need to be renewed. It’s highly likely that the Owls will be operating from League One next season and under new ownership will no doubt have designs on an immediate return to the second tier.
The Star understands that among the first team figures whose deals are up at the end of the current campaign is midfielder Svante Ingelsson. The 27-year-old has played a vital role since the exodus of other players in the summer and has played out his 16 Championship appearances with great credit and appreciation from the Wednesday fan base. It is not known at this stage whether his deal includes an extension clause.
Asked on where he sees his future, the former Hansa Rostock man said: “It’s a very difficult question right now. We all just have to focus in the moment and when a new owner comes in we have to see the situation and where we are at and take it from there. But like I have said before, my family really like it here and we enjoy Sheffield.”
Ingelsson has spoken before about the huge potential Wednesday hold for any new owner that arrives with deep pockets and a worthwhile plan. “Obviously everyone sees the club has huge potential,” he reiterated. “And if the new owners come in with great ambition then that could be something that’s really interesting for a lot of people. That would be great for everybody at the club.”
