Derby County are set to offload Cyrus Christie this summer, and Middlesbrough are among the interested clubs.
According to a report in the Telegraph, Middlesbrough are in the race to sign Cyrus Christie from Derby County.
Christie is said to have been made available by Derby this summer for £1.5 million, as the right-backs’s contract is set to expire next summer.
Christie has just a year left on his current deal at Pride Park, and the Rams are yet to present him with new terms.
Middlesbrough are now hopeful of bringing the Republic of Ireland international to the Riverside Stadium, but they face competition.
Brighton & Hove Albion and Reading are also said to be keen on signing the Derby full-back.
The Rams are looking to offload players this summer, as Gary Rowett wants to raise funds for his own spending plans.
Boro have plenty of money to invest this summer, as Garry Monk looks to earn his side an immediate promotion back to the Premier League.
Boro are expected to keep the bulk of their squad around from last season, but Monk wants to make some alterations and Christie is believed to be on his wishlist.
