Sheffield Wednesday are reportedly getting closer to re-signing club legend Barry Bannan from Millwall this summer.
The Star have reported that progress has been made in talks as the club looks to secure the signature of the veteran midfielder.
The club’s new owners - US consortium Arise Capital Partners - are keen to implement an overhaul of the club's squad for next season.
Sheffield Wednesday are preparing for life in League One after a torrid campaign on and off the field in the 2025/26 season.
The Owls were relegated from the Championship with exactly zero points but there is optimism ahead of the new season following the completion of the takeover and the fact that they have not been handed a points deduction.
Bannan penned an 18-month contract at Millwall following an emotional farewell at Hillsborough when the club were in administration in January.
The 36-year-old played 14 times in the Championship over the remainder of the season as Millwall reached the play-offs before they eventually ran out of stream against Hull City in the semi-finals.
The former Scotland international played 477 matches during an 11-year spell at Sheffield Wednesday and he was part of the team that won promotion from League One in the 2022/23 campaign.
He sits in sixth position on the all-time appearances list for the club and his potential return would add undoubted quality to the Owls' midfield.
Henrik Pedersen's men are amongst the favourites to be promoted from League One as they plot an immediate return to the second-tier.
