Sheffield United have accepted a bid from Hull City for Harry Maguire.
The Sky Bet League 1 club revealed they have "reluctantly" accepted the Tigers' new offer after they met their valuation of the centre-back and he and his representatives are now set to open talks over a move to the KC Stadium.
The Blades' managing director Mal Brannigan told the club's website: "We made it clear that we wanted Harry to stay by offering him a new contract at the end of last season, unfortunately he and his representatives chose a different path.
"However, as he is under contract at Bramall Lane, we exercised our right to set our own valuation of him and after numerous bids which did not meet our expectations, Hull City increased their offer and we have reluctantly accepted.
"As we have previously stated, Sheffield United are not under pressure to sell our players but on this occasion it was deemed the best for all parties and now we move on with the aim of assisting Nigel Clough to strengthen his squad."
