All the latest news about Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, and the other Championship clubs.
Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday can already start planning for next season, with the Premier League and Championship seasons now over but for this weekend’s playoff finals. The Blades have a lot of work to do after a catastrophic season in the top flight, but the Owls will want to build on what they did under Danny Rohl in the second half of the season.
Wednesday will want to avoid relegation, while the Blades will hope to make the playoffs. In the meanwhile, we’ve compiled all of the newest information about the two Sheffield clubs and their Championship rivals.
Norwood ‘in demand’
Soon to be released. According to Football Insider, Blades midfielder Oliver Norwood will have an easy time finding a new club this summer. Norwood was extremely loved among United fans, and with good reason, given his steady performances in the club’s midfield.
However, Norwood is due to be released, and Sunderland, Watford, and Hull City are all interested in signing him, according to Football Insider. The midfielder’s agency is believed to be talking potential moves with clubs ahead of pre-season, which begins in July.
Llorente ‘For Sale’
Diego Llorente, a Leeds United player, is supposedly available for a low amount this summer. The centre-back has been on loan at AS Roma this season, but it does not appear like the Italian giants will try to keep him, though no final decision has been made.
According to Football Italia, Llorente is available for only £4.2 million this summer, with Leeds needing to raise finances regardless of whether they earn promotion to the Premier League or not, as they face Southampton in the playoff final on Sunday. If Leeds do not advance, they will need to raise a significant amount of money to balance the books, whereas a victory will leave them needing to raise funds for new players.
