The Sky Blues submitted their retained list on Thursday afternoon, confirming the exit of veteran captain Liam Kelly and verifying reports that O’Hare had been offered a new contract.
It’s hoped fresh terms can convince the star midfielder to stay at Coventry Building Society Arena but interest from the Premier League is likely to scupper the club’s plans.
O’Hare was vital to Coventry’s impressive FA Cup run this season and he scored in the recent 3-3 semi-final thriller against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium. That was his fourth goal in just five FA Cup appearances this term, while he recorded six goals and three assists in 31 Championship matches.
Although serenaded and appreciated as a key man for the Sky Blues, O’Hare has let his contract run down, with his current deal expiring on June 30. Any potential suitors are free to enter talks with the playmaker and several clubs are already circling.
