Buriram unveiled four new players yesterday, two days after they retained the TPL crown on the last day of the season.
The quartet are Naruebodin Veerawatnodom from BEC Tero, Japan's Kayne Vincent (Songkhla United), Kritprom Boonsarn (Police United) and Wanchalerm Yingyong (Police United).
However, Buriram chairman Newin Chidchob said the club would not extend forward Carmelo Gonzalez's contract.
"He is still good enough to play in the Thai Premier League but at 32 may be too old for the AFC Champions League,'' he said.
Gonzalez is expected to join TPL club Suphanburi.
Meanwhile, Attapol Busapakom said he would remain as coach of Police United although the club was relegated.
"I will take them back to the TPL,'' said the former coach of Buriram, Muang Thong and Bangkok Glass.
"Several players will remain with the team including Teerathep Winothai.''
