Sander Berge’s future at Sheffield United will be the subject of much speculation over the summer if they suffer relegation from the Premier League. The Norwegian international is the club’s biggest asset and will be at a level far greater than what the club could find themselves in next season.
Chris Wilder revealed recently that the Blades have always been a ‘stepping stone’ for the 23-year-old, who has ambitions of playing Champions League football and at the highest level.
Chris Wilder said: “I think this [Sheffield United] has always been a springboard for Sander. He wants to play at the highest level, he wants to play Champions League regularly and he wants to play for a top team. We gave him an opportunity to show off his skills and he has taken it. If he plays well, he makes us a better team, but I know that day will come. Regardless of what happens we would love him to stay here at the football club.”
The Blades boss added that he wants to keep his players together should they suffer relegation to the Championship. He is right to demand that his squad does not get dismantled in the wake of relegation, if that is to be the outcome of this season.
