Thiam, a forward who mainly played wide for Stendel, has been at Barnsley since 2017. He netted seven goals in 36 starts in helping the Tykes win promotion from League One.
The 24-year-old, who is a former Senegalese U20 international, sees his contract expire at the end of the campaign.
Green was signed by Stendel half way through the promotion season from Yeovil Town in a deal until June 2021.

Stendel is keen to recruit two attacking wide players and a striker, as well as a centre midfielder and a left-sided centre-back more in tune to his demands to replace Christophe Berra.
The club are understood to be interested in German striker Charles-Jesaja Herrmann, ex-Ross County hitman Liam Boyce and Blackburn Rovers' Dominic Samuel.
