Tony Pulis is reportedly willing to sell Bordeaux and Lazio target Martin Braithwaite if Middlesbrough receive the right offer.
Bordeaux have been interested in the Middlesbrough forward for some time, as reported by Teesside Live, while Italian publication Corriere dello Sport claim that Lazio have now joined the race.
The Serie A club are searching for a replacement for Felipe Anderson, who has been strongly linked with a move to West Ham United.

Braithwaite did not want to discuss his future until after participating at the 2018 World Cup, but since his country Denmark were knocked out by Croatia on penalties in the last-16 negotiations can now take place.
It was initially thought the 27-year-old would head back to France after a successful spell on loan at Bordeaux last season, but the Ligue 1 side were unwilling to meet Boro’s valuation of around £7.1m.
Presumably that is what the North East outfit would constitute as the “right offer” for Braithwaite now, as they look to recoup as much of the £9m they paid Toulouse for the attacker last summer.
