Barnsley Linked With Downes - Ipswich Town News
Championship Barnsley are reported to be preparing an offer for Blues midfielder Flynn Downes.
The 22-year-old has been told he can find a new club this summer along with most of his team-mates.
Now, according to Football Insider, the Tykes are set to make a move for the former England U19 and U20 international.
Last summer, the Blues turned down two offers from Crystal Palace for Downes of £1.2 million and then £1.6 million with the Brentwood-born academy product subsequently handing in a transfer request.
Downes, who is contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2022 with the club having an option for a further season, made 17 starts and eight sub appearances for Town in 2020/21 and in total has made 75 starts and 25 sub appearances for the club, scoring three times.
