With a 2-0 victory over Sunderland on the last day of the season, Sheffield Wednesday defeated the drop in the Championship and can now go forward with their summer preparations.
Additionally, it appears that owner Dejphon Chansiri is making every effort to persuade Danny Rohl to remain at S6, as seen by upgrades to the training facility and discussions about a new deal for the German manager.
A few players are also being connected to the Owls. Here, we compile the most recent rumors and news on transfers involving Sheffield Wednesday.
During the winter transfer window, Sheffield Wednesday lost out on Duncan McGuire, a striker for Orlando City and the USMNT.
McGuire was traveling to and from Blackburn Rovers and Wednesday in the hopes of finalizing a move to the Championship, so it was a hectic deadline day.
He ultimately lost out on both, and he is now back at Orlando City, where he has four goals in his first nine games of the Major League Soccer season.
According to reports, Sheffield Wednesday has continued to follow McGuire, who is now receiving bids from Germany and Belgium.
Sheffield Wednesday wants to borrow James Beadle.
The Owls were able to bring in 19-year-old James Beadle, a goalkeeper on loan from Brighton, in January.
He continued to play a crucial part in ultimately pushing the team over the finish line, keeping eight clean sheets in 19 league games on Wednesday.
Alan Nixon has stated after the season’s conclusion that Sheffield Wednesday is eager to sign Beadle again on a loan basis, as the young player is no longer expected to play for Brighton’s first team.
Teams compete to sign Ian Poveda.
It’s no secret that Ian Poveda wants to return to Sheffield Wednesday.
Hillsborough this summer, permanently.
Although his contract with Leeds United is expiring, the 24-year-old is now up for grabs, and sources on Friday indicate that Burnley, Luton Town, and Sunderland are all interested in signing him.
His future will probably become apparent after Leeds’ season is over because they are still in the Championship play-offs.
Di’Shon Bernard desired
Di’Shon Bernard is a player that other teams are interested in signing, but Sheffield Wednesday wants to keep him this summer.
The 23-year-old center back’s contract is set to expire next month, and according to surfacing rumors, the Championship and other European leagues are showing interest in signing him.
Sheffield Wednesday is desperate to hold onto him, but there’s no indication as to whether he’ll remain in S6.
Sheffield Wednesday fancy Ike Ugbo reunion
Ike Ugbo was the first of three players to sign on loan in January.
He was followed by Beadle and Poveda through the doors and Sheffield Wednesday are also keen on re-signing him this summer, with his parent club Troyes facing relegation to the French third tier.
It’s said that the Owls are looking into a permanent deal, though whether or not they’ll have the resources to make it happen remains to be seen.
George Byers attracting widespread interest
One player whose summer exit has now been confirmed by reports is George Byers.
The midfielder will leave Sheffield Wednesday after three seasons having spent the second half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan with Blackpool.
He’s set to become a free agent but already has interest from a number of League One clubs, including Sheffield Wednesday’s South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley and Rotherham United.
