Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has confirmed that a bid has been submitted for Gustavo Hamer by one of the midfielder’s former clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hamer joined the Blades from Coventry City back in 2023, though it has emerged that Frank Lampard is keen to bring the 29-year-old back to the club for a second stint.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During his time with Coventry, Hamer made 132 appearances across all competitions, scoring 19 goals and providing 22 assists, which earned him his move to Sheffield United.<\/p>\n
Hamer put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the Blades three years ago for a reported\u00a0\u00a315m fee, but was unable to help them avoid relegation from the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since then, Wilder’s side have spent two seasons in the Championship, losing 2-1 to Sunderland in the 2024-25 play-off final before finishing 13th in the second tier last term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And with Coventry now preparing for their first season in the Premier League since 2000-01, Wilder revealed Hamer was of interest to an unnamed club, but hinted that it was the Sky Blues who were the ones strongly considering a move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’m transparent,” Wilder said in a news conference. “There has been a bid in for Gus, and that is being discussed by the owners.<\/p>\n
“Our policy as a football club is that we don’t like players leaving on a free transfer, especially when we have paid a decent fee.<\/p>\n
“I know this was a decent fee when we were in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
“They are our thoughts as a club, and then there’s Gus’ point of view. It’s about getting the right fee that is relevant to what we feel he is worth.<\/p>\n
“Are we going to get back the money we paid for him? No, because he’s in the last year of his deal. But we’re not going to get rolled over.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Since joining Sheffield United, no player has played more games (123), scored more goals (22) and registered more assists (27) for the Blades than Hamer in all competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hamer also ranks at the top for chances created (229) in that time, while in 2025-26, his 19 goal involvements (seven goals, 12 assists) were at least three more than any other player in Wilder’s squad, with Callum O’Hare in second on 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The decision will have an input from me, but it’s a decision for the board whether to accept the offer or not,” Wilder continued on the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Gus is ambitious, and there’s been a bid made by one of his former clubs where the owner really likes him, the manager speaking to him this week really likes him, and the supporters really like him.<\/p>\n
“He has the opportunity to have a big increase on his salary, the length of the contract, and go to a club where he’s really highly thought of.<\/p>\n
“If he wanted to stay here, then we would have engaged in contract negotiations, but that hasn’t been the case.”<\/p>\n
It has been reported that Sheffield United have rejected an initial bid for Hamer, as the asking price was not met, though the clubs remain in contact over a potential move.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
