Coventry City will spend this summer gearing up for another season of Championship football after falling short of the play-off spots this time around.
The Sky Blues finished in 9th after their form fell off late on. However, they still made memories with a remarkable FA Cup run, which only ended at the hands of Manchester United in the semi-finals.
The hope will be that they’re right in the thick of the promotion fight come next season, with this talented group boasting many players who can inspire City to a long-awaited Premier League return.
However, Coventry City have a handful of players who will likely draw interest this summer, and fresh claims have already emerged.
Writing on his Patreon, reporter Alan Nixon claims Bundesliga side SC Freiburg are admirers of left-back Jay Dasilva.
The 26-year-old managed five assists in 42 games over the 2023/24 season, his first with the club following a move from Championship rivals Bristol City last summer. It is said that Freiburg’s top scout Tobias Gies watched Dasilva last week.
Another big sale for Coventry City?
Coventry City were in the limelight last summer as star men Gustavo Hamer and Viktor Gyokeres drew interest. They had become standout players for the Sky Blues and were duly rewarded with moves to Sheffield United and Sporting CP respectively.
While the club may not have reached the heights of last year’s play-off final this time around, there are still eye-catching assets who could earn moves away.
Perhaps Dasilva hasn’t had the starring season other assets such as Ben Sheaf – who has also drawn interest – have had. However, the sale of a player under contract for three years could mark a notable profit considering he joined for nothing last summer.
Of course, time will tell if anything comes of Freiburg’s interest, but they could be the latest to offer Coventry City a cash influx.
Going again next year
As touched on before, Coventry will have loftier aims for next season after coming 9th this year.
There were several new signings last summer following the sales of Hamer and Gyokeres. You have to feel that this group will have only grown closer over the year, and that could lead to exciting things next season.
Coventry City endured a tough start as new signings gelled and settled in but as the campaign progressed, we saw just what Robins’ side could be capable of.
It should lead to excitement for next season, though another important summer awaits with the likes of Dasilva already drawing interest.
