Shrewsbury Town forward Ricardo Dinanga is in discussions with clubs in Ireland and Scotland over a potential departure this summer, manager Gavin Cowan has confirmed. The Salop boss also provided an update on the club’s four transfer-listed players, including Callum Stewart, who has drawn interest from National League sides. Next fixture: vs Oldham (away, 2027-02-27) (8th in the table).
Cowan stated that Dinanga, along with Sam Clucas, Tom Anderson, and Stewart, remains under contract but has permission to speak to other clubs. “They’ve all taken it really well,” said Cowan. “They want to go out and play football.” The manager emphasised patience, noting that these are career decisions for the players.
Callum Stewart has received significant attention from National League clubs, though Cowan admitted he is unsure what is causing the delay in a move. Dinanga, meanwhile, has been proactive, travelling to Ireland and Scotland to explore options. Anderson, the only transfer-listed player to feature in pre-season, may still depart despite Cowan’s preference to retain him.
The club awaits developments as the quartet seek new opportunities. Cowan acknowledged the need for balance in his squad, suggesting Anderson could be the most likely to leave. With Shrewsbury Town preparing for their next fixture, the focus remains on finalising the squad ahead of the new campaign.
