According to journalist John Percy on X, Sheffield United are moving closer to the signing of Leicester City defender Harry Souttar. The journalist has claimed on X that the Blades are set to make an improved bid of £10 million plus add-ons for the Australia international after their first offer of £8 million was rejected. The player is said to be keen on the move.

According to Pete O’Rourke, Sheffield United have made a new improved bid of approximately £8m for Leicester and Australia defender Harry Souttar.

Harry Souttar has been frequently connected with a move to Bramall Lane, but Sheffield United have thus far been unsuccessful in persuading Leicester City to sell. Russell Martin acknowledged that approaches have been made by the Blades but clarified that Leicester does not intend to let the defender depart unless circumstances change. Martin said that a couple of offers have been made without any discussions, and the response has been no.

Sheffield United, where Harry Souttar spent the 2024/25 season on loan, are among the clubs interested in the player. Their offer of another loan has been rejected, and talks regarding a permanent deal are continuing. The impasse suggests Sheffield United are struggling to meet Leicester's valuation.

Reports indicate a return to Sheffield United may be the most likely outcome for Harry Souttar. The Star has declared that he is a top defensive target for the Championship club.

Blades boss Chris Wilder has confirmed he is interested in signing Leicester City defender Harry Souttar. Wilder said an opening bid had been rejected by Leicester City and that conversations with Leicester about taking Harry Souttar are ongoing. Separately, journalist Alan Nixon has reported on Patreon that the £10 million valuation of the Australia international is deterring interested clubs.

Sheffield United are interested in a reunion with Harry Souttar, who has informed Leicester City of a desire to leave this summer. Sheffield United's loan-to-buy offer for Souttar has been rejected to date. There is a £10m asking price for the player.

According to the Sheffield Star, Harry Souttar has informed Leicester City of his desire to explore a move to another club. Leicester City's reported asking price is £10 million, a figure considered outside Sheffield United's budget; however, the club has not ended its pursuit. Souttar is interested in returning to Bramall Lane, and a transfer may be possible if the asking price is reduced. It is also reported that Wrexham and West Ham have been discouraged by the asking price.

Sheffield United are understood to be unwilling to pay Leicester City's £10 million asking price for centre-back Harry Souttar. It is suggested that a fee closer to £5 million could be a more reasonable asking price at this time, considering his injury issues. There is mention that Sheffield United could offer incentives based on games played or promotion to the Premier League, and that a sell-on clause could be included to persuade Leicester to lower their asking price.

Harry Souttar is connected with a potential move to the Hammers from Leicester. West Ham has competition from Championship rivals Sheffield United and Stoke City.

Sheffield United have reportedly learned the fee required to re-sign Harry Souttar this summer. According to The Star, Leicester City have set a £10 million asking price for Harry Souttar as they prepare for a major rebuild following a second successive relegation. The Blades are understood to be among the leading contenders to sign Souttar. Souttar had an outstanding loan spell at Sheffield United during the 2024/25 campaign before his season was ended prematurely by an Achilles injury.

Brazilian journalist Pablo Oliveira reported via X that Harry Souttar is expected to leave Leicester City this summer and that Sheffield United is interested in him. Leicester City will aim to recover as much of the £15 million fee they paid for Souttar as possible. The club hopes one of Sheffield United, Stoke, or Wrexham will pay a substantial fee for his services this summer, which would help finance their rebuild.

Harry Souttar is still admired at Sheffield United, where Chris Wilder has returned. Wilder previously signed Souttar on loan two years ago. A torn Achilles has recently stagnated the 27-year-old's career. He could be an asset if he remains uninjured during the World Cup. A fee of £4m for the Australian would be a decent amount.

Sheffield United have an opportunity to sign Harry Souttar this summer following Leicester City's relegation to League One. Sheffield United, who had Souttar on loan during the 2024/25 season, were linked with a move for him last September but a transfer did not happen. Souttar is under contract at Leicester City until June 2028, but his long-term future is uncertain as the club prepares for the third tier. It is suggested that Leicester City may need to cut costs and sell some players to help balance their finances. It is uncertain if Leicester will be able to retain him amid expected potential interest from elsewhere, and Sheffield United’s chances of completing a transfer will depend on the situation at Leicester.

There is ongoing speculation linking defender Harry Souttar with a return to United. He is supposedly on Sheffield United's transfer list, and it has been suggested that there could be a potential triple raid by the Blades.

Harry Souttar was close to a loan move to Rangers from Leicester City during the Michael Beale era, but the deal collapsed. Interest was revived last summer, especially after the Socceroo was pictured in a retro Rangers top, but he instead joined Sheffield United on loan. The 26-year-old was a first-choice defender for the Blades until an Achilles tendon injury ended his season early.
