Sheffield United has made an £ 8 million offer for Coventry City defender Bobby Thomas while they want to replace Anel Ahmedhodzic, according to Reporter Pete O’Rourke.
Sheffield United goes to the 2025/26 season with different positions that still need reinforcement. Onder Ruben sellsThe blades are planning to get a quick return to the Premier League, but that ambition depends on a strong support on the transfer market.
Their championship campaign started in bruises with a 4-1 defeat against Bristol City, followed by a Carabao cup output on Tuesday evening when a heavily rotated side fell to Birmingham City. A spectacular half line attack from Gustavo Hamer briefly revealed hope, but the deceased winner of Jay Stansfield sealed a 2-1 defeat.
Loan arrivals such as Louie Barry And Djibril Soumare are the heading for SUFC so far this summer, but both are on loan. With Vini Souza and Anel Ahmedhodzic, both have been sold, funds are now available and Sheffield United are willing to spend them.
According to Pete O’Rourke, SUFC made a bid of big money via X for Coventry City defender Bobby Thomas. The bid is £ 8 million for the 24-year-old Center-back.
Thomas has been an important player for Coventry City for the past two years since he came to Burnley. He joined the Sky Blues for about £ 2 million, so would be sold for a big profit if the bid was accepted.
He is the 2nd Championship Sheffield United has offered in recent weeks. SUFC had also made an offer to Hull City for Charlie Hughes, but has now moved to Thomas.
Finally a defender for Sheffield United
Sheffield United struggled at the back in the first weeks of the season. After the departure of Ahmedhodzic, a bid -lived has been left in the middle of the SUFC.
Rhys Norrington-Davies started in the middle of the opening day in the defeat of the opening day to Bristol City, in addition to Summer Signing Tyler Bindon. Jack Robinson was back in the side in the midweek, but did not last an hour.
Thomas would be the perfect player to get to the back on the side. If Sheffield United can agree with Coventry City, this would be a top signing for the blades.

A huge two weeks ahead for Sheffield United
When Thomas arrives, that would be a great start to the last two weeks of the summer window. However, the blades have so much more to do.
Including Last year Loanese, SUFC has lost around 10 players in the first team. So far, only five players have arrived, making the Selles side considerably weaker than last year.
If Sheffield United wants to be in the play-off yacht, they still need a few signing sessions. Money must be spent if they want new boss sales to succeed.
