A summer of change awaits for Wednesday once again, with wholesale changes expected at Hillsborough as at least 16 players see their current deals coming to an end. It was revealed by The Star yesterday that Ryo Hatsuse’s contract is also up at the end of June, adding him to the list of those who could end up moving on.
It means that, as things stand, the Owls wouldn’t be able to put together a full matchday squad without delving into their youth setup, and three of those who are contracted made only 23 Championship appearances between them in 2024/25. Danny Röhl, or whoever was to replace him if he leaves, will certainly have a busy period ahead of them as the squad is built up once again.
We’ve put together a list of all of those players that will currently report for preseason as contracted Wednesday players, however with options to be potentially exercised the number could grow once the Owls’ retained list is eventually confirmed.
Where possible we’ve also reported how long each player’s deal will last for, stretching from 2026 through to 2028.

14. Charlie McNeill
McNeill will be hoping for more game time in his second campaign in blue and white, and has plenty of time to develop having signed a three-year deal at S6. There's also thought to be an added year option. | Steve Ellis
15. Djeidi Gassama
The attacker had some fantastic spells in the 2024/25 season, scoring some great goals, but now enters into the last year of his deal. Many are hoping that talks will take place to extend that. | Steve Ellis
16. Anthony Musaba
Given his age and the potential he has, taking up Musaba's option also felt like a bit of a no-brainer. It's good to have him on board for another year. | Getty Images
