Sheffield United have reiterated that they have received no formal approach for Gustavo Hamer, despite renewed speculation linking the midfielder with a return to Coventry City. The stance is significant because Hamer remains one of United’s most influential players and any sale would have major consequences for their plans ahead of the new Championship season.

The reports suggest Coventry supporters are keen on a reunion with the 29-year-old, who left the club for Sheffield United in 2023. Hamer is under contract at Bramall Lane until 2027, while United’s position indicates that rumours alone have not led to negotiations or an agreed transfer.
