Sheffield Wednesday look set for another busy summer transfer window.
Sheffield Wednesday appear to have made a start on their summer plans, with the Owls releasing their retained list on Friday.
Several players have been offered new contracts, including the likes of Josh Windass and Barry Bannan, whilst others have been let go, like Lee Gregory whose recently joined Mansfield Town, and also George Byers.
It promises to be a busy summer transfer under Danny Rohl‘s who’ll be desperate to get a squad in place that can challenge towards the top end next season.
And here are nine Sheffield Wednesday transfer deals that could actually happen in the next few weeks…
James Beadle – In
Sheffield Wednesday News recently revealed that Brighton will definitely loan out James Beadle this summer, regardless of their ongoing goalkeeper conundrum.
The England U20 man shone on loan with Sheffield Wednesday after joining in January, keeping eight clean sheets in 19 Championship appearances.
The Owls are desperate to re-sign him.
Pierce Charles – Out
Beadle returning, and Cameron Dawson potentially staying after being offered a new contract, could mean youngster Pierce Charles heading out on loan.
He’s been handed a new contract at Hillsborough recently and Rohl could be keen for him to play some regular first-team football.
Marvin Johnson – Out
Wing-back Marvin Johnson is also among those who’s been offered a new contract this week, after an impressive return-to-action under Rohl after his previous exile under Xisco Munoz.
Johnson though was the subject of transfer interest last January with Ipswich Town trying and failing to sign him.
His four goals and four assists in the Championship under Rohl showcases his quality in the second tier and that could prompt more transfer interest, or even Johnson leaving as a free agent.
Ian Poveda – In
Another loan man who Sheffield Wednesday are keen to bring back is Ian Poveda, but the Owls face competition for his signature.
Ahead of his contract expiry at Leeds United, the likes of Burnley, Luton Town, Sunderland, as well as Sheffield Wednesday have been linked with the Colombian international.
Di’Shon Bernard – Out
Di’Shon Bernard is among those out of contract this summer, and among those to have been offered a new deal.
It comes as no surprise following his impressive maiden season in S6, and if, on what seems like the off-chance he stays, Wednesday could well be keen to cash in as his stock would be very high.
That, or he leaves as a free agent and seals a move elsewhere.
Joey Phuthi – Out
Youngster Joey Phuthi made his Championship debut earlier this season, as well as his debut on the international stage with Zimbabwe.
Sheffield Wednesday recently triggered a one-year extension on his deal, and like with Charles, he could be one who’s loaned out to give him regular first-team football.
Ike Ugbo – In
Capping the trio of January loan players that Sheffield Wednesday are keen to re-sign, the Owls are reportedly eager to bring striker Ike Ugbo back to the club.
The Canadian international scored seven goals in 18 Championship outings for the Owls, and his parent club Troyes have recently been relegated from the French second tier, likely prompting Ugbo’s exit from the club this summer.
Bailey Cadamarteri – Out
If Ugbo re-signs, and the likes of Windass stays on too, that could mean a loan move for youngster Bailey Cadamarteri.
The 19-year-old ended the season with four goals in 23 Championship outings for the Owls and looks like a real prospect for the future.
If there’s going to be a lack of game time for him in S6 next season, though, a loan move may be beneficial.
Duncan McGuire – In
Potentially adding to the idea of Cadamarteri leaving this summer could be Sheffield Wednesday bringing in Orlando City striker Duncan McGuire.
The Owls have retained their interest after missing out on the USMNT man in January, with McGuire having since scored five goals in 11 MLS outings this season.
He’s recently been watched by English clubs, though whether Wednesday were among those teams remains to be seen.
