Glenn Whelan, captain for half of last season has been made available for sale after the arrival of Yoann Folly yesterday.
Ireland Under-21 skipper Whelan, signed from Manchester City, was a key player in Wednesday's promotion push and even scored against Hartlepool at Cardiff in 2005.
With the likes of Steve Adams, Burton O'Brien, Kenny Lunt and now Folly ahead of Whelan in midfield, the Dubliner's opportunities to shine next season will be limited.
Wednesday are likely to demand a fee for Whelan though, especially after he recently signed a new deal at the club.
