Wilder Confirms Formal Bid For Gustavo Hamer

Sheffield United’s board must now decide whether to accept an offer that promises a larger salary with a longer contract for a player in his final year.

Overview

Chris Wilder confirmed on Friday that Sheffield United have received a formal bid for midfielder Gustavo Hamer and that the offer is being discussed by the club’s owners and board.
Hamer is in the final year of his contract and Wilder said no new negotiations have taken place, which weakens the club’s bargaining position.
Wilder said the bid reportedly includes a longer deal and a significant pay rise that could match Hamer’s ambition and make a return to his former club attractive.
Sheffield United stress they do not want players to leave on free transfers and pointed to the fee paid in 2023 as a reason to seek a meaningful return now.
Wilder will provide input but the board will make the final call, and he warned that if Hamer stays after the window he must train and play with full commitment.
