Sheffield United have been linked with re-signing Hull City midfielder Regan Slater this summer, and it is said they are keen on bringing the player back to Bramall Lane. Slater helped Sergej Jakirovic’s side beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the play-off final over the weekend to secure promotion to the Premier League. It is stated that it will now be very difficult to sign him from Hull City and that Sheffield United’s hopes of signing Slater have been significantly reduced. Slater is under contract at Hull City until June 2027 because his club recently exercised their option to retain him for an additional 12 months.

Amid recent interest from his former club, Sheffield United, and other Championship rivals, Hull City have extended the contract of 26-year-old English midfielder Regan Slater. The club, which paid £50,000 to sign the midfielder permanently from Sheffield United in January 2022, has activated a 12-month option in his deal, which now expires on 30/06/2026. Discussions for a longer-term contract are expected to continue, and the manager, Sergej Jakirovic, and the sporting director have previously expressed their desire to secure a new agreement with the player. In the 2025/2026 Championship season, Slater has made 35 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €4.50m.
