Sheffield Wednesday remain in search of a new No.9, despite already signing nine players.
The Owls have bolstered their attack with the arrivals of Jamal Lowe, Charlie McNeill and Olaf Kobacki, but none of them appear to be the out-and-out senior striker that is needed.
Lowe netted nine goals last season but it appears more likely that he will play out wide, while McNeill only has three senior goals to his name.
Sheffield Wednesday are already desperately trying to re-sign Ike Ugbo, who is also eager on a return to Yorkshire.
However, they are struggling to agree on a fee for the forward, who is wanted by a long list of clubs.
The Owls have also reignited their interested in Duncan McGuire this summer, having failed to land him in January.
The American rejected a new contract at Orlando City this month and has looked likely to leave the MLS.
McGuire would ‘look at the opportunity’ to leave the MLS
There hadn’t been much of an update on his future since though, but McGuire has now spoken out and has suggested he could leave the club.
Speaking to the MLS Soccer official website, McGuire said: “I try not to think about the contract talks or transfer talks that much until something real is in front of me. So I kind of just don’t bother and let my agent take care of it,” he said. “Being in France, a bunch of clubs are going to be here watching and it’s a big tournament. So there’s lots of eyes on us to showcase our skills … it’s obviously a place to show what you’ve got.
“I think about how everything happens for a reason. So I guess we’ll see what happens after the Olympics, whether I stay in Orlando, which I’d be happy to. Or if the opportunity to go somewhere else comes up, I’ll look at the opportunity.”
Should Sheffield Wednesday sign McGuire or Ike Ugbo?
McGuire has previously attracted interest from the likes of Torino, Blackburn and Lecce, and looks highly likely to attract even more attention at the Olympics.
Having scored seven goals in 19 games in the MLS this season, the 23-year-old will be hoping to impress in Paris and could bump his price tag up even further.
With Wednesday still eager to sign Ugbo, it seems likely that their interest in McGuire will be put on the back-burner if his valuation does rise.
With Transfermarkt currently valuing him at £4.2m, he could well cost more than Ugbo and is certainly a much riskier deal.
