Clubs across the English Football League (EFL) have only a couple of weeks to decide whether or not to release or retain players ahead of next season.
Some clubs in League One have already published their lists of retained players due to their season having already finished; however, the likes of Nottingham Forest are yet to do so as they have one Championship fixture still to be played as well as the play-offs.
There are difficult decisions to be made with many clubs holding extension options on contracts, whilst others have to negotiate a new contract entirely for certain players. The Reds have relied on several loan players under Steve Cooper this season, whilst the contracts of Lewis Grabban, Gaetan Bong and Tobias Figueiredo all expire this summer.
