Here's who won't be returning next season, and those out of contract who are still in talks to remain at the club. Will Grigg (Sunderland), Louis Thompson (Norwich City), Lasse Sorensen (Stoke City) and Ethan Laird (Manchester United) will return to their parent clubs at the end of their loan spells.
. RELEASED: Lee Nicholls
The keeper lost his number one spot in October to Andrew Fisher and has been limited to cup games since. Made more than 150 appearances since 2016.
. RELEASED: Jordan Houghton
Fell down the midfield pecking order this season having held a key role in the side in his previous two seasons. Made more than 100 appearances, 23 this season, scoring four goals.
. RELEASED: Kieran Agard
The club's third all-time leading scorer, who signed in 2016, played just one game this season, netting a brace against Norwich U21s. Injuries and favour saw his chances limited under Russell Martin.
. RELEASED: Joe Mason
A spell which never really got going. Injuries at bad times stunted his time at Stadium MK and limited him to just nine goals - three of which came in a brilliant hat-trick against Fleetwood earlier this season.
5. TALKS: Ben Gladwin
An injury-ravaged career showed shoots of life in his 18 months at Stadium MK, but he has been limited to just 13 starts during his time at the club.
6. TALKS: Andrew Surman
A key man since signing on a free transfer in November. Barely out of the side, Surman has made 26 starts and Russell Martin will be eager to keep hold of him next season.
7. OFFER: Matthew Sorinola
A break-out season for Sorinola has been excellent on the field while drama has unfolded off it. A contract has long been on the table for the wing-back to sign, but as yet it remains unsigned.
8. TALKS: Josh McEachran
Dropping down a level following his release from Birmingham City in January, McEachran has added more depth to the midfield. Dons unlikely to be able to keep both he and Surman, but one or the other.
