Nine players have already left Swansea City this summer and it would be surprising if more do not leave before the transfer window closes in late August.
So expect another busy off-season at Swansea.com Stadium.
In the summer of 2023, Swansea called up 13 players as part of a major overhaul of the squad following the appointment of Michael Duff as head coach.
There aren't likely to be as many deals this time around, but there is once again a lot of work to be done.
BBC Sport Wales has assessed Luke Williams' availability in the squad.
What happens at the goal?
A big part of Swansea's transfer business over the coming months will be who they bring in to compete with Andy Fisher for the goalkeeper spot.
Carl Rushworth is impressing for Wales during a season-long loan move from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023-24 and Williams is keen to bring the England Under-21s back for a second loan spell.
That possibility remains up in the air for now, especially following the news that Roberto De Zerbi is set to leave the Seagulls.
Are Swansea prepared to wait until pre-season to sign Rushworth, or could they look elsewhere? In any case, goalkeeper will be an important addition.
defensive depth
As it stands, Swansea look pretty well-equipped in defence but that could change dramatically if Nathan Wood is sold this summer.
Wood is a great prospect who had some injury issues early in the season, but as the 2023-24 season progressed he showed great performance reminding us of his potential.
In an ideal world, Swansea would want to keep the 21-year-old center long-term.
However, Wood's contract ends in 2025. Swansea opted to trigger the clause in his contract in April. Unless Wood is willing to sign a new contract, there is a good chance he will be sold this summer.
Southampton made two bids worth up to £10m last year, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Russell Martin comes calling again for the next slot.
Perhaps Swansea will need another central defender if Wood does not leave after Bashir Humphries returns to Chelsea.
Christian Pedersen is set to return in pre-season after a loan move to Sheffield Wednesday, but it remains to be seen whether he fits into Williams' plans.
With right-back Harrison Ashby also leaving on loan, Williams may ideally want another option to compete with Josh Key, but he may choose to rely solely on veteran Kill Norton. do not have.
As well as Key on the right, Josh Tymon also had a fantastic first season in Wales, cementing his place at Swansea's left-back position.
But will the club's budget allow it to acquire a quality replacement? Nathan Choa Ong is expected to return after a loan spell, but like Pedersen, he will have to convince Williams that he can play an active role in the team.
midfield gap
The decision to let Liam Walsh go, a player with obvious talent but weakened by fitness issues, and the end of Charlie Patino's loan spell have left Swansea with holes to fill in midfield.
Conor Barron is thought to be Swansea's dream player, but the out-of-contract Aberdeen player is said to have a number of suitors.
With ballplayers like Matt Grimes and Joe Allen still remaining, a physical midfielder with running ability would complement what Swansea already have.
Meanwhile, Williams are still waiting to see if Jamie Patterson signs a new contract.
If Patterson leaves, Swansea will undoubtedly need to replace him with a creative attacking midfielder.
Williams' thoughts are forward
Williams believes Swansea “definitely need a more natural finisher” ahead of their next Championship campaign.
The team lost co-leading scorer Jamal Rowe with 10 goals in 2023-24 after a loan spell, so Jerry Yates, Liam Cullen and Mykola Kujavić are the current options at number nine.
Yates has scored the same number of goals as Rowe (10) but has too often looked lacking in confidence since his move from Blackpool last summer.
Assuming Yates stays, Williams will be hoping the former Rotherham striker can make a bigger impact next season.
Swansea know what they're getting in Cullen, but the question is where Kuhavic will play in September given he's struggled for minutes under Duff, Alan Sheehan and Williams should remain.
Whatever happens, Williams wants a new centre-forward and Swansea are likely to have some money, but they will be paying a completely different transfer fee and wages than their Championship rivals will be paying this summer. It will be.
The idea of Swansea signing Macaulay Langstaff should not be ruled out. Macaulay Langstaff has spent most of his career in non-league football, but he scored 29 goals for League Two side Notts County in the just-ended campaign.
Williams knows the 27-year-old well and knows he is someone who will take chances.
Langstaff's name is on Swansea's list of players who can play wide.
Swansea have an opening on the left flank after Przemysław Placeta was released amid concerns over his injury history.
Kuhaib Driwes was a player they were close to signing before acquiring Ronald in January.
The winger ultimately ended up staying at Excelsior, but Swansea are likely to show interest again if the 22-year-old leaves in the next window.
