The club had looked set to lose boss Kieran McKenna to a Prem rival with the likes of Brighton, Chelsea and Manchester United all circling before he signed a new deal to stay at Portman Road.
However, this summer is the end of the line for 10 players who were part of the club's promotion effort.
Five stars, Omari Hutchinson (Chelsea), Kieffer Moore (Bournemouth), Jeremy Sarmiento (Brighton), Lewis Travis (Blackburn) and Brandon Williams (Manchester United), have seen their loan transfers expire.
Between them the five stars had scored 24 goals in the Championship from 146 total appearances.

Kayden Jackson, 30, and Dominic Ball, 28, were released by the club following the expiration of their contracts.
Jackson and Ball have been major pieces in the club's back-to-back promotions from League One under McKenna.
On their departures, McKenna said: "Kayden and Dominic have both been important members of a group which has achieved significant success over the last two seasons.
"Both have made vital contributions on the field and, off the pitch, have played central roles in developing a culture and setting standards which have been so important to the club's progress.
