GARY Rowett is happy to leave negotiations over new deals to others as he instead focuses on transfer targets this summer.
Millwall are in talks with Jake Cooper and Ryan Leonard over new contracts.
Cooper, 28, still has a year left on his current contract but Leonard, 31, is due to be a free agent at the end of this month.
Rowett is not involved in the key details of any agreement, preferring to leave those discussions to chief executive Steve Kavanagh and head of football operations Alex Aldridge.
Rowett is instead focusing on securing new recruits.
“That’s something that Alex and Steve, obviously I have a part in that, but the numbers and the negotiations are led by them,” Rowett said. “Which I think is great from my perspective because for me really it’s just about what do we want to do from a playing perspective, and not get involved in all of those things.
“I don’t know, if I’m being honest [if the pair will agree new terms]. Sometimes these things are easy, sometimes these things start to get a little bit more complicated.
“The fact of the matter is one’s under contract, one’s out of contract, very different circumstances for both. We’ll see how they progress.
“What you’re always trying to do is make good decisions around the playing side, around contracts, looking ahead a little bit further. At the same time it always has to be in line with where we want it to be with the club financially as well.
“It’s just trying to find that balance.”
