Big job to refresh contracted squad
Posh will have to work hard in the summer to free up space for new signings.
According to local media records, only midfielder Serhat Tasdemir, of the 31 professionals at London Road, is out of contract at the end of the season.
Tasdemir has made just nine starts for Posh since joining from Fylde in July, 2019. The 21 year-old has been at Barnet on loan for all of this season and is certain to leave Posh in the summer.
Many others will be transfer-listed including goalkeeper Christy Pym, currently on loan at Stevenage, veteran centre-back Mark Beevers and forward Idris Kanu, a player who has made no impact since joining Northampton on loan in January.
Kanu (22) joined Posh from Aldershot in 2017 during Grant McCann’s first spell as Posh manager, and started just 21 matches.
McCann expects 80% of his squad to stay.
Attacking midfielder Ryan Broom is under contract and may be keen to leave this summer after an excellent 2021-22 campaign on loan with League One promotionchasers Plymouth Argyle.
