Chris Wilder has said Sheffield United are making progress on transfer business as the club prepares for Gustavo Hamer’s expected departure. The developments matter because Hamer’s exit would remove a key creative player and increase the need for reinforcements before the new Championship season.

Wilder indicated that negotiations were continuing over potential additions, while the Blades also considered changes to their defensive options and attacking depth. Hamer, who joined Sheffield United from Coventry City in 2023, has been widely linked with a move away, with reports suggesting Coventry have agreed a £6 million deal to re-sign him.
