The League One XI of players set to be out of contract - including Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton and Rotherham men
With just over a month to go until the end of the season, several players are also nearing the end of their contracts.
While the race to win promotion from League One remains incredibly close, clubs will be weighing up who they could offer new deals at the end of the campaign.
Negotiations have already begun with some players over new deals, though some deals have been put on hold until the summer.
We’ve taken a look at some of the players whose contracts are set to expire this summer, putting them into a starting XI.
There will certainly be interest from elsewhere:

5. LB: Ben Purrington (Charlton)
After scoring in the 2019 play-off final against Sunderland in 2019, Purrington signed a new three-year deal at the Valley. The 25-year-old is now coming to the end of that deal. Uncertainty over Charlton's managerial situation appears to have slowed negotiations down.

6. RW: Chiedozie Ogbene (Rotherham)
While the wideman has missed just one league game for Rotherham this season, he's yet to sign a new deal. The 24-year-old said negotiations were taking place at the end of last year.

7. CM: Callum Camps (Fleetwood)
It's been a frustrating season for the 26-year-old midfielder who has missed parts of the campaign through injury. Camps' impressive performances for Fleetwood last season put him on the radar of some Championship clubs, with Blackburn reportedly interested.

8. CM: Massimo Luongo (Sheffield Wednesday)
After multiple injury setbacks last year, the Australian midfielder is finding his form again and has started the Owls last 11 league games in the engine room.
