Di’Shon Bernard

Sheffield Wednesday could miss out on defender with Championship rivals ‘one step ahead’

14/07/2024 Raymond 0

Sheffield Wednesday has had a successful summer, nearing ten new signings. However, they might miss out on one potential addition, Mickaël Nadé. Reports surfaced that Nadé has become a target for the club to strengthen their defense. The 25-year-old center-back, whose contract with Saint-Étienne recently expired, is also being pursued by West Bromwich Albion. Le Progrès indicated that West Brom is ‘one step ahead’ and hopes to finalize the deal by early next week. Despite having defenders like Dominic Iorfa and Michael Ihiekwe, Wednesday could benefit from Nadé’s natural left-footedness, which adds balance to their current options. However, if West Brom succeeds in securing Nadé, it won’t matter for the Owls.

Sheffield Wednesday’s search for a center-back is intensifying, with Danny Röhl yet to bolster this critical position. Currently, his options are Michael Ihiekwe, Bambo Diaby, and Dominic Iorfa, while Di’Shon Bernard remains out of contract. The interest in Mickael Nade suggests that the club is preparing for the possibility of missing out on Bernard, whose future is still uncertain amid interest from other Championship teams and clubs across Europe. Re-signing Bernard would be a major coup, but the club’s ongoing strong summer transfer window might improve their chances of tempting him back to S6.

West Brom have initiated contact with Josh Windass, a Sheffield Wednesday player whose contract expires this summer. Windass, who played a crucial role in Sheffield Wednesday’s final three games of the season by scoring in each match, is likely to leave the club despite being offered a new contract. Reports indicate that West Brom and Birmingham City are both interested in signing the striker, with West Brom having already made contact with his representatives.

Three senior Sheffield Wednesday players are nearing the end of their contracts without having formally resolved their futures. While the club has been proactive in the transfer market, signing free agents Ben Hamer and Max Lowe and acquiring Yan Valery for an undisclosed fee, the fate of Josh Windass, Dominic Iorfa, and Di’Shon Bernard remains uncertain. Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer have secured new deals, but negotiations with Windass have stalled, making his continued stay at S6 increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, Iorfa has expressed a desire to stay but awaits further clarity on his contract status. Bernard’s decision is also pending, with discussions ongoing as he competes in the Copa America with Jamaica. Manager Danny Röhl is keen to retain Bernard, who quickly became a fan favorite in his debut season at the club.

Sheffield Wednesday: Josh Windass and Will Vaulks developments will not help Dejphon Chansiri – View

Sheffield Wednesday faces a pivotal summer after securing their Championship status. The Owls seemed set for an immediate return to League One following a disastrous start under Xisco Munoz. However, under Danny Rohl’s guidance, they managed a remarkable turnaround, finishing 20th and ensuring their survival. Fears of losing Rohl were alleviated when he signed a new long-term contract last month.

Rohl now focuses on rebuilding the squad, with loanees like James Beadle and Jeff Hendrick returning to their parent clubs, and several players, including Ciaran Brennan and George Byers, being released. Cameron Dawson, Liam Palmer, Dominic Iorfa, Di’Shon Bernard, Will Vaulks, Barry Bannan, and Josh Windass were offered new deals, but only Palmer and Bannan have committed so far. Dawson seeks regular first-team football elsewhere, and Vaulks has joined Oxford United, while Windass, amid interest from multiple clubs, is the latest to reject a new contract. These departures heighten scrutiny on owner Dejphon Chansiri as the club navigates this crucial period.
