Sheffield United have been warned that bringing Harry Souttar back from Leicester City may be difficult despite uncertainty over the defender’s future. The Australian international is reportedly open to considering a move after Leicester’s relegation, but competition and the likely cost could limit United’s chances.

Souttar, 27, previously spent the 2024–25 season on loan at Bramall Lane and remains under contract with Leicester until June 2028. Sheffield United are understood to retain an interest, while Leicester’s need to manage their squad and wage bill after dropping to League One may influence any negotiations.
