Wilder confirms bid submitted for Hamer by former club

[Getty Images] Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has confirmed a formal bid has been submitted for Gustavo Hamer by one of his former club's. The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to Coventry City, who he made 132 appearances for before leaving for the Blades in 2023. Hamer is in the last year of his current contract with Wilder confirming no new negotiations have taken place. "I'm transparent," said Wilder in a news conference. "There has been a bid in for Gus and that is being discussed by the owners. "Our policy as a football club is that we don't like players leaving on a free transfer, especially when we have paid a decent fee. I know his was a decent fee when we were in the Premier League. "They are our thoughts as a club, and then there's Gus' point of view. It's about getting the right fee that is relevant to what we feel he is worth. "Are we going to get back the money we paid for him? No because he's in the last year of his deal. But we're not going to get rolled over. "The decision will have an input from me, but it's a decision for the board whether to accept the offer or not. "Gus is ambitious and there's been a bid made by one of his former clubs where the owner really likes him, the manager speaking to him this week really likes him, and the supporters really like him. "He has the opportunity to have a big increase on his salary, length on the contract, and going to a club where he's really highly thought of. "If he wanted to stay here then we would have engaged in contract negotiations, but that hasn't been the case."
