In early August 2026, Chilean forward Ben Brereton-Diaz was the subject of transfer speculation as the summer window approached its close. While Southampton manager Tonda Eckert expressed satisfaction with the player's pre-season performance, he did not rule out a departure. Derby County and Sheffield United were identified as clubs monitoring the situation, with Derby expressing interest in re-signing the striker following a successful loan spell the previous season.

By late August, Brereton-Diaz secured a move to Sheffield United on loan for the 2026-27 season. This marks his third stint with the Championship club. The 27-year-old forward expressed excitement about reuniting with manager Chris Wilder, while Wilder praised the player's talent and his commitment to helping the team pursue a return to the Premier League.
