It is also being reported that Blades boss Chris Wilder is looking for a defensive-minded midfielder who can also operate in the back line, and Amartey fits the bill.
Amartey hasn’t featured in the Foxes first-team under Brendan Rodgers, as he suffered a broken ankle in the 1-1 draw with West Ham last October and has since been building up his fitness.
He featured for Steve Beaglehole’s Under-23 side in their pre-season friendly defeat to City sister-club OH-Leuven last week.
The 24-year-old is under contract at the King Power Stadium until 2022, after signing a new deal in December.
City recently announced the departure of young defender Elliott Moore, who has joined League One outfit Oxford United on a season-long loan.
Sheffield United have already completed the signings of Callum Robinson, Luke Freeman, Phil Jagielka, Ravel Morrison, Lys Mousset and Ben Osborn since their promotion to the Premier League.
