How Sheffield United instructed Leeds United to proceed after turning down a £13 million offer for Gustavo Hamer
Leeds United recently had a £13 million bid rejected by Sheffield United for midfielder Gustavo Hamer, with the offer falling short of Sheffield’s valuation of the player. This bid comes as the two clubs have engaged in several negotiations this summer, including Leeds’ acquisition of Jayden Bogle and Jamie Shackleton’s move to Sheffield United.
Sheffield United, keen on returning to the Premier League, views Hamer as an essential part of their squad, especially after his impressive performances last season. Despite Leeds’ interest and their ongoing transfer discussions, Sheffield United remains firm in their stance, underlining Hamer’s importance to their promotion campaign
Sheffield United recently rejected a £13 million offer from Leeds United for midfielder Gustavo Hamer, reflecting the club’s intention to retain one of their key players. Leeds United, having already signed Jayden Bogle from Sheffield earlier in the summer, sought to bring Hamer to Elland Road as they aimed to bolster their squad for a promotion push.
However, Sheffield United found the offer insufficient, deeming it far below their valuation of Hamer, who they consider crucial for their own promotion aspirations.
Hamer, who joined Sheffield United from Coventry City last summer for around £15 million, has been a standout performer despite the club’s relegation from the Premier League. He was named the club’s player of the season and has started the new Championship season strongly, contributing two goals and an assist in the early matches. This strong form has only solidified his importance to the Blades, making it unlikely that they would part with him for less than what they originally paid, especially to a potential promotion rival.
Manager Chris Wilder has been clear about the club’s stance, noting that while bids for players are considered, the £13 million offer was “a million miles away” from what would be needed to even begin negotiations for Hamer. Wilder also highlighted that the club is in a stronger position now compared to earlier in the summer and is focused on keeping its core players to mount a serious challenge for promotion back to the Premier League.
Given the rejection, it remains uncertain whether Leeds United will return with an improved offer before the transfer window closes. However, Sheffield United’s current position suggests they are determined to hold onto Hamer, at least for the immediate future.
