Aston Villa, Fulham and Middlesbrough are reportedly keen on Aden Flint.
According to the Daily Mail, Bristol City are ready to cash in on centre back Aden Flint, with Aston Villa, Fulham and Middlesbrough all believed to be keen on his signature.
Flint, 27, joined Bristol City from Swindon Town in 2013 having impressed in his two-and-a-half years at the County Ground, excelling with the step up from Alfreton Town.

The giant centre back, who stands at a huge 6ft 5in tall, was a key figure in Bristol City’s promotion to the Championship in 2015, and has continued to feature prominently at Ashton Gate.
Despite making 53 appearances in all competitions last season, the Daily Mail now claim that Bristol City are ready to cash in on Flint, valuing him at around £4million.
Lee Johnson does have the likes of Bailey Wright, Hordur Magnusson and Jens Hegeler at his disposal, meaning that the Robins may feel they have enough depth at the back to survive without Flint.
The report notes that three Championship rivals – Aston Villa, Fulham and Middlesbrough – are all keen on Flint, and could make moves to sign him this summer as Bristol City prepare to sell.

Villa are known to be in the market for a new centre back this summer, and whilst The Mirror report that a deal for free agent John Terry could be on the cards, Flint may be an alternative for manager Steve Bruce.
Possessing great size, strength and aerial ability, Flint could be the ideal partner for James Chester, but whether Tony Xia is willing to fork out £4million before selling the likes of Jordan Amavi, Jordan Veretout and Carles Gil remains to be seen.
