Leeds United have made a last-minute bid to sign Sheffield United midfielder Gustavo Hamer and journalist Adam Pope has now shared their next steps.
Reports this evening have confirmed that Leeds have made a bid in the region of £13m for Hamer.
The bid, as expected, was rejected by Sheffield United, who paid just around £15m to sign Hamer last summer.
Chris Wilder spoke in his press conference today about an offer for a player who is a million miles off the mark. The expectation is that he meant this offer for Hamer.
And now Yorkshire Post journalist Adam Pope has shared with Hamer what Leeds are thinking.
Leeds to let go of Gus Hamer after rejected bid
Speaking to X to provide an update on the situation with Hamer, Pope said Leeds are likely to move on from the Blades star.
Leeds are racing to sign new players after losing many of their best players this summer.
The Whites saw Geo Rutter, Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray leave for big money.
They signed Largie Ramazani last week but a move to Manor Solomon looks set to fall through.
Leeds trying to cause a stir
This has been a great summer to be a Leeds fan.
The departures have decimated the squad and there now appears to be a real problem in getting their top targets across the line.
With this and Gus Hamer, it looks like a way for Leeds to try and unsettle the Sheffield United star.
The Blades will see no real reason to sell Hamer and, with a takeover pending, a lowball offer will have dropped like a bombshell.
In some ways, it’s probably best that Leeds move on.
