Sheffield United are expected to lose star man Gustavo Hamer in the 2025 summer transfer window.

Sheffield United seemed almost guaranteed promotion to the Premier League at one point in 2024/25, despite their two-point deduction.

However, the Blades’ form dropped off at the end of the regular campaign, missing out on automatic promotion.

Sheffield United then lost to Sunderland in the play-off final last weekend, meaning they are once again stuck in the Championship for the upcoming campaign.

In a further blow, Gustavo Hamer could leave the club amid interest from several Premier League teams.

Hamer was Player of the Season in the second tier last term, and filling his boots will be no easy task, but we have picked out three potential options.

Three Gustavo Hamer replacements Sheffield United could sign

Jack Rudoni

We have already revealed this week that Sheffield United like Jack Rudoni and could turn to the Coventry City man to replace Hamer.

They are expected to face competition from the recently-relegated pair, Southampton and Leicester City, for the player, however.

Rudoni notched 10 goals and 13 assists in all competitions for the Sky Blues over the course of 2024/25.

In comparison, Hamer scored 10 and assisted eight in 46 matches.

Jan Schoppner

Jan Schoppner is currently on the books of German side FC Heidenheim, who recently avoided relegation from the Bundesliga by winning their play-off clashes.

The 25-year-old is an experienced, versatile midfielder who, like Hamer, chips in regularly with goal contributions.

Despite playing in Germany’s top division for a side who really struggled, Schoppner managed five goals and two assists over the course of 2024/25.

He is a natural central midfielder but can operate as a defensive midfielder and on the left-hand side.

Christian Eriksen

Perhaps an unrealistic shout, but it would be a big statement signing if the Blades could convince Christian Eriksen to join them.

The Dane is set to leave Manchester United for nothing this summer and would no doubt dominate in the Championship despite his advanced age.

He wouldn’t be a direct replacement for Hamer, but the goals and assists he could provide would certainly make up for that.
