Sheffield United are at risk of losing £15m this summer

Sheffield United could be dealt another blow in this transfer window as Gustavo Hamer has attracted interest from clubs in England and Italy, according to reports.

The Blades have already lost 14 players this summer through sales and expiring contracts, including Cameron Archer, who returned to Aston Villa after moving to Bramall Lane just 12 months ago for £18million, making l one of the most expensive signings in the club’s history.

Meanwhile, team captain John Egan left the club as a free agent with the likes of Max Lowe, George Baldock, Ben Osborn, Oli McBurnie, Oliver Norwood, Wes Foderingham and rising star Daniel Jebbison completing a switch to Bournemouth in the top ranking. .

Another man who could be heading for the exit door in the coming weeks is Hamer. The Dutchman signed for Sheffield United just last summer from Championship side Coventry City for £15m and has been one of the club’s best performers despite being relegated, scoring five goals and recorded seven assists in 38 appearances.

However, TEAMtalk have revealed that Hamer’s time in South Yorkshire could be coming to an abrupt end as there is interest from a number of unnamed sides in England and abroad for his signature. Furthermore, the media claim that the Blades will be resigned to losing Hamer as he has an active release clause in his contract which prevents Sheffield United from preventing him from leaving if that valuation is met.

It is unclear how much his release clause is, although Hamer boasts a market value of £12.6m according to Transfermarkt, so Chris Wilder’s side could look to recoup their money from his eventual sale.

The writer’s vision

This would be a huge loss for Sheffield United. The club have already lost some of their most prized assets this summer, including Archer and Jebbison, but now they could lose one of their best players. Despite the recent signings of Callum O’Hare and Kieffer Moore, the quality of the squad will be significantly impacted if Hamer also leaves.

However, there have been reports in recent weeks that the Blades are looking for at least £15m for the 27-year-old in order to recoup the money they spent on him last year, so it is possible that his release clause. is slightly higher than this figure.
