Blackpool have eight individuals who are currently without a deal for next season, and are set to complete final discussions in the next couple of weeks.
The Seasiders’ 3-2 defeat to Reading on the final day of the season saw them miss out on a spot in the play-offs, despite results elsewhere going in their favour, meaning they will once again be competing in League One.
In order to boost their squad, they could look at some of the players who have earned a top six place this time round, with some coming to the end of their contracts. Champions Portsmouth have already announced their retained list, while news is still set to come from those below them.
Here’s some of the stand out names from that category who could be available for free this summer:
