Could Sheffield United change their game plan if a midfield star leaves?

Sheffield United faces a big decision this summer about their midfielder Gustavo Hamer. A Turkish club called Trabzonspor reportedly wants to sign him, but their latest offer is way above what they previously proposed. At €20 million, it’s more than triple their earlier £6 million bid. Hamer has been key for Sheffield this season, with 10 assists and 2 goals in 30 games. His creativity and set-piece skills make him hard to replace. If he leaves, the Blades need a solid backup plan. One option could be Ibrahim Osman from Birmingham. At just 21, he’s fast, powerful, and great at carrying the ball forward. Last season, he ranked in the top 1% for dribbling and ball progression in the Eredivisie. He’s not a direct copy of Hamer, who plays more centrally, but Osman could still fit well by adding speed and creativity from the wings. His ability to take on defenders and create chances fits Sheffield’s attacking style.Another choice is Tyreece Campbell from Charlton Athletic. The 22-year-old is younger and less experienced but has explosive pace and a strong work ethic. He’s good at dribbling and recovering the ball but still needs to improve his finishing. Campbell could grow into a bigger role if given time and support. Hamer’s contract ends next summer, so Sheffield United must decide soon: keep him or sell high. If they sell, bringing in a player like Osman or Campbell could help fill the gap. Both offer different strengths, but neither is a perfect match. The club will need to balance cost, skill, and long-term potential in their decision.
