Middlesbrough Bid for Villa Prospect Finley Munroe as Bristol City Monitor Move

Villa have not responded to the offer; a recall from Swindon is expected this month.

Overview

  • Middlesbrough have lodged a January bid for the 20-year-old left-back, with reports placing the fee near £350,000 and Derby County and Watford also reported to be interested.
  • Bristol City are tracking Munroe but are not believed to have submitted a formal offer despite earlier reports suggesting they had.
  • Aston Villa’s stance on the proposals remains unknown, and any deal would still require agreement on personal terms.
  • Munroe has impressed on loan at Swindon Town with two goals and nine assists in 27 appearances this season, prompting expectation of an early recall.
  • Boro’s move is shaped by left-side depth needs after Alex Bangura’s injury and Lukas Engel’s uncertain status, and Munroe would not count toward their 25-man EFL squad.
