Sheffield Wednesday might have some reminders of Rangers this season. The Owls are reportedly interested in a current Rangers player, who would join a former Ibrox star already at the club. Josh Windass, with Sheffield Wednesday since 2020, was uncertain about his future as his contract neared its end. Despite stalled negotiations in early June, The Star has reported that Windass is now expected to stay at Hillsborough, with a deal agreed to keep him at the club. Since joining from Wigan, Windass has recorded 57 goals and assists in 135 games for Sheffield Wednesday.

Manager Danny Rohl expressed optimism about ongoing contract talks with his players, stating, “All in all, I am positive at the moment. I am still in contact with all the players, we are in talks, and now it is about finding the agreement to take the next step.” One potential new arrival is Scott Wright, a Rangers winger linked with a move to Sheffield Wednesday, who almost transferred to Turkey last summer and now faces increased competition at Rangers.

Three senior Sheffield Wednesday players are nearing the end of their contracts without having formally resolved their futures. While the club has been proactive in the transfer market, signing free agents Ben Hamer and Max Lowe and acquiring Yan Valery for an undisclosed fee, the fate of Josh Windass, Dominic Iorfa, and Di’Shon Bernard remains uncertain. Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer have secured new deals, but negotiations with Windass have stalled, making his continued stay at S6 increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, Iorfa has expressed a desire to stay but awaits further clarity on his contract status. Bernard’s decision is also pending, with discussions ongoing as he competes in the Copa America with Jamaica. Manager Danny Röhl is keen to retain Bernard, who quickly became a fan favorite in his debut season at the club.

Former Sheffield Wednesday manager Steve Bruce has been linked with a potential surprise return to the Championship this coming season. Bruce’s departure from the Owls in 2019, after a very brief stint at Hillsborough, left many fans in South Yorkshire displeased despite the decent compensation Wednesday received when he joined Newcastle United. Journalist Alan Nixon reports that Bruce is among the names being considered by Burnley as they search for Vincent Kompany’s successor. Although Bruce is not high on the list, Burnley is reportedly keen to bring in a big name following Kompany’s move to Bayern Munich.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Röhl has shared his and chairman Dejphon Chansiri’s mutual dream of seeing the Owls ascend to the Premier League. Last season, Wednesday narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship on the final day, thanks to a significant turnaround in fortunes following Röhl’s appointment in October. Now, he faces a pivotal summer marked by a substantial rebuild due to numerous player departures.

Röhl, who is ambitious about working at the highest level, has spoken enthusiastically about leading Sheffield Wednesday to the top tier of English football. He emphasized the importance of playing good football, signing quality players, and developing the club incrementally, including improving facilities.
