According to Football League World, Middlesbrough have become a rival to Rangers in the effort to sign Leicester City winger Stephy Mavididi. Rangers are considered to have a long-standing interest in the player. A report from Scottish journalist Mark Hendry last month indicated that the Ibrox club had held talks with Leicester about a potential deal and were willing to offer up to £7 million.
Other unnamed Championship clubs are also reportedly interested in signing the 28-year-old, who is one of several players expected to leave the Foxes this summer as the club may need to sell some of its players. Mavididi, who holds English and DR Congo nationalities, joined Leicester City in July 2023 and has a contract until 2028. The former England U20 international has a current market value of €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
