Premiership giants Manchester United will bring a side across, as will Villa and Forest.
The club are also planning a pre-season trip to Ireland, with a game against Barrow also likely - United's Football In The Community Officer Lee Turnbull was recently named as manager of the Bluebirds following the resignation of Kenny Lowe.
Games against FA Vase winners Brigg Town and Grimsby Town are also likely.
Manager Brian Laws will be locked in discussions with the club's board later today over wage budgets for next season, and he has already opened discussions with a number of players over a summer move to the Iron.
