Ipswich Town have announced their retained list following the conclusion of the 2022/23 season.
Out of contract duo Massimo Luongo and Sone Aluko have been offered new deals, as has youngster Tawanda Chirewa.
Senior quartet Joel Coleman, Richard Keogh, Matt Penney and Kane Vincent-Young have all been released.
Luongo was signed on a short-term deal in January following his release by Middlesbrough. The experienced Australian, 30, went on to play a key role in the Blues securing automatic promotion to the Championship.
Aluko made just four league starts for the Blues last season, but manager Kieran McKenna praised the 34-year-old's 'important minutes that made a difference' and ability to set an example to the younger players in training.
Attacking midfielder Chirewa, 19, came on in the 4-0 FA Cup home win against Buxton last November having made his senior debut under Paul Lambert, at the age of 16 and 31 days, in a Papa John's Trophy game at Colchester in 2019.
Experienced centre-back Keogh, 36, made four league starts for Town after returning to his boyhood club on a free transfer last summer. It remains to be seen if he's offered a coaching role at the club or pursues another playing contract elsewhere.
Left-back Penney, 25, leaves Town having spent last season out on loan at Motherwell and Charlton. He made 21 starts and five sub appearances for the Blues in 2021/22 after being picked up on a free transfer from Sheffield Wednesday by Paul Cook.
Versatile full-back Vincent-Young was signed by Paul Lambert in a £500k deal from neighbours Colchester in 2019. The 27-year-old leaves having made made 42 starts and 22 sub appearances during a four-year spell disrupted badly by injuries.
Coleman arrived in November to act as cover in the third-choice goalkeeper department following a long-term injury suffered by Nick Hayes.
Meanwhile, Under-21s players Fraser Alexander, Albie Armin, Harley Curtis, Alfie Cutbush, Matt Healy, Max Hudson, Brooklyn Kabongolo, Callum Page, Lewis Ridd and Charlie Woods have all been released.
