A number of key figures are coming to the end of their deals at Hillsborough, with players having been told contract decisions will be made and discussions had at the end of the season. Some player contracts are the subject of extension triggers and clauses that could see their deals extended.

The likes of Barry Bannan, Josh Windass, Michael Smith, Michael Ihiekwe, Callum Paterson and Marvin Johnson are all understood to be nearing the end of their current deals, with a number of other players in a similar situation.

Speaking to The Star ahead of the Owls’ Good Friday match at Stoke City, Röhl said discussions had been had between him and the club over the direction Wednesday go.

The summer is set to be an interesting one at S6 with the annual turnover of squad expected and speculation remaining over the German coach’s future.

Asked where things were at with the contracts of existing players, Röhl said: “On one side I had meetings with the club, with Kevin and I spoke about what is in my mind, what is the recommendation and what the club should do in the summer, but it is also about ‘OK, what can we do?’ One thing is what you should do and another thing is what can you do.

“In the next couple of weeks we are going to have to make decisions.

We know where we are and of course we should then make these decisions. The time will come when we can speak about all these things.”
