Leicester City have been given encouragement over a potential sale of Harry Souttar after Sheffield United reaffirmed their interest in the defender. A transfer would help Leicester reshape their squad and could provide funds, while Sheffield United see the Australian international as a priority addition to their defence.

Sheffield United have already had an approach rejected, with Leicester reportedly seeking about £10 million for the 27-year-old, who is contracted until 2028. Souttar previously spent the 2024–25 season on loan at Bramall Lane, and the Blades’ continued pursuit suggests they may return with an improved offer.
