Town have turned down a Middlesbrough bid for centre-half George Edmundson, who is currently on a season-long loan with the Teessiders.
The 27-year-old joined Boro on loan in the summer window and has impressed for the Championship’s fifth-placed side, making 20 starts and scoring once.
Edmundson’s performances for Michael Carrick’s side have also caught the eye of a number of other Championship teams but the defender cannot play for a third club this season, having featured as a brief sub for the Blues away against his hometown club Manchester City in August.
Boro are keen to head off any potential summer interest from elsewhere by trying to make his loan move permanent during this window.
But, as per reports elsewhere, the Blues have turned down an offer, which TWTD understands to have been £350,000 now, a further £350,000 if Boro are promoted plus add-ons.
Edmundson is out of contract at the end of the season when he would be able to leave on a free transfer.
The ex-Oldham defender joined Town for around £1 million from Rangers in the summer of 2021, signing a four-year deal.
