And the Guardian newspaper is reporting it’s German Bundesliga team Werder Bremen who have made their move. Bremen finished ninth in the Bundesliga after Saturday’s final round of matches.
​Knight’s existing Posh deal expires on June 30, but one of the stars of the 2023-24 campaign has been offered a lengthy contract designed to keep him at London Road.
The Championship teams are considered to be among the lower classes of the second division and are looking for a strong centre defender with good possession skills.
After winning the Chairboys’ player-of-the-year title for the 2020–21 season while on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, Knight played two complete seasons at Championship level before being relegated on both occasions. The next season, he started 31 of 46 league games with Posh.
Before relocating permanently to London Road in July 2021, Knight spent two of his three stints with Posh on loan from Leicester City, totaling 169 appearances for the team.
Jed Steer, the custodian, is also considering a contract offer from Posh. It’s believed that manager Darren Ferguson wants him to be the team’s starting quarterback for the upcoming campaign, with Australian Nick Bilokapic serving as his backup. This will allow Academy graduate Will Blackmore to leave on loan following a season marred by injury and personal problems.
After spending just one season with the team and making nine appearances, backup goalkeeper Fynn Talley was let go.
According to Ferguson, Posh will have 11 players without contracts at the end of the following campaign.
The following people are thought to be involved: Emmanuel Fernandez, Ricky-Jade Jones, Hector Kyprianou, Malik Mothersille, Kwame Poku, Joel Randall, Kabongo Tshimanga, Harrison Burrows, Romoney Crichlow, Ronnie Edwards, and David Ajiboye.
New contracts have already been extended to Kyprianou, Poku, and Fernandez; Ajiboye, Crichlow, and Tshimanga have been placed on transfer hold.
