AdminSheffield United have stepped up their pursuit of Leicester City and Australia defender Harry Souttar after submitting an improved offer believed to be worth around £8 million.
The Blades are keen to bring Souttar to Bramall Lane and have now made their latest move in an attempt to convince Leicester to sanction the defender’s departure this summer.
Souttar’s future has been the subject of growing speculation during the transfer window, with Sheffield United showing clear interest in securing his services.
Their latest proposal represents a significant step forward in negotiations as they look to reach an agreement with Leicester.
The 27-year-old centre-back remains an important figure for Australia and has valuable experience at both club and international level.
His physical presence, aerial ability and defensive strength have made him an attractive option for Sheffield United as they look to strengthen their squad.
The improved bid, understood to be in the region of £8m, could now test Leicester’s resolve over the defender. The Foxes will have to decide whether the offer is sufficient to consider allowing Souttar to leave.
For Sheffield United, the priority is clear: they want Souttar and have increased their offer to make that ambition known.
Talks are expected to continue as both clubs consider the latest proposal, with Souttar’s future now one to watch closely.
