Sheffield United have just one game left of the regular season before gearing up for the inevitable drama of play-off football. Chris Wilder’s side host Blackburn Rovers on Saturday in what they hope will be the first of four more games to take them back to the Premier League.
Promotion or not, United look set for a busy summer as still relatively new owners COH Sports stamp their authority on the club in their first off-season transfer window. But while the focus will be on strengthening Wilder’s squad, time will need to be set aside for deciding what to do with a crop of current squad members.
All in all, Transfermarkt have eight players set to leave Bramall Lane this summer due to the expiration of their contracts or loan deals, while decisions might need to be taken on three more who will enter the final 12 months of their terms. Below, The Star takes a look at all 11.
9. Adam Davies - contract expires 2026
Back-up goalkeeper has been with the Blades since 2022 and played only nine league games, with Michael Cooper the undisputed first-choice. Into the final year of his deal this summer and so a decision will need to be made at some point. | Sportimage
10. Anel Ahmedhodzic - contract expires 2026
One would imagine United must get promoted to keep hold of Ahmedhodzic, who can stake a claim as the best defender in the Championship. The 26-year-old has already been linked with Premier League clubs and will enter the final 12 months of his contract this summer, which could present a real problem. Promotion, however, could be the catalyst for an extension. Photo: Simon Bellis
11. Tom Davies - contract expires 2026
Really struggled for fitness since joining United from Everton almost two years ago and it's been an all-too-familiar story this term. Still only 26-years-old but will be into the final year of his deal this summer, which should provoke some level of talks. Photo: Andrew Yates
