Carlisle United have rejected Cambridge United’s latest bid for goalkeeper Gabe Breeze, with head coach Rob Elliot confirming the club’s valuation has not been met. The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to League One this summer, but the Blues remain firm on their stance as they prepare for their next fixture against AFC Fylde at home on 2027-02-16, currently sitting 24th in the National League table.
What’s the latest on Gabe Breeze’s transfer situation?
Cambridge United recently submitted an improved offer for Breeze, but Carlisle United have turned it down. Elliot stated, "Until a value is met on Gabe that the club would feel fit to do, I don’t think anything’s going to be done." The keeper, who suffered a knee injury in pre-season, is expected to be fit for the start of the new campaign.
Why is Carlisle United holding firm?
Elliot praised Breeze’s mentality and performance, calling him a "great lad" and a "great goalkeeper." He added, "He’s only young and he’s going to have good moments and bad moments, but he’s been brilliant in pre-season." The club values Breeze highly and will only consider offers that meet their expectations.
What does this mean for Carlisle’s goalkeeping options?
With Breeze’s future still uncertain, Carlisle have Archie Mair and youth keeper Sam Worth as backup options. Mair has impressed in pre-season, while Worth, 17, made a brief appearance in a recent friendly. Elliot remains confident in the squad’s depth.
What’s next for Gabe Breeze?
Breeze is focused on his recovery and preparation for the new season. Elliot said, "He’s a top, top lad. He’s got a brilliant mentality." The goalkeeper’s performance in training and matches has shown no signs of distraction from transfer speculation.
