Planning Ahead - 2026/2027 - Who Stays / Who Goes?

Looking at our squad list on transfermarkt, we have no contracted first team players out of contract (Brad Mayo apparently expires in the Summer), so the only players leaving will be the loan returns, an understudy in Mayo and Panzo's short term deal.
