Sheffield United to offload star desperate for transfer to Spain after Premier League relegation

IVO GRBIC will be allowed to leave Sheffield United — and the keeper wants a club in Spain.

The Croat, 28, was a reserve for Atletico Madrid before his move to the Blades in January but flopped in the Prem.

Grbic made just 10 appearances for Sheffield United and conceded 30 goals.

Before swapping Spain for the Premier League, he spent four years with Atletico Madrid.

He made 14 appearances for the La Liga side, conceded 14 goals and kept four clean sheets.

Grbic spent the 2021-22 season on loan at Lille where he became the club’s first choice goalkeeper.

The two-cap Croatia star has also played for Hajduk Split and Lokomotiva Zagreb.

Meanwhile, Sheffield United’s US takeover bidders want to bring in former Burnley and Bournemouth scout Des Taylor as their football supremo.

The Blades were relegated back down to the Championship this month after finishing bottom of the Premier League table.

Manager Chris Wilder said: “We have not been good enough. The league has been too powerful for us right the way through the season.

“It stings and it hurts. We have to own it. We have got so much work to do on the training ground. We have got to have a proper preseason.

“Sheffield United is a really good football club. I think everyone understands that, but it’s been a really poor season.”

The Blades could be at risk of losing the likes of Vinicius Souza and Gustavo Hamer this summer.
