The free agents Reading FC could sign this summer

Joe Ledley, David McGoldrick and John Terry will all be free agents at the end of June

Reading FC may not know which league they will be in beyond the end of this season, but they will already be planning their summer recruitment.

Former boss Jaap Stam brought in seven new players last summer and after a poor campaign this year, a clear-out is likely.

We don't know how much Royals will have to spend, but free agents will no doubt be considered as the club looks to have a strong season in 2018/19.

A number of star names are likely to be available on free transfers this summer, with their contracts running out at the end of June. But there are also some younger players who could be worth a punt.

Here is a list of players whose contracts are up in the summer - so long as they don't extend their deals or sign for another club first.

See if there are any who you think could do a good job for Reading next season.
