Rotherham United are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Sheffield United midfielder Alex Matos, an England U20 international, who is seeking more regular playing time after making only eight appearances for the Blades this season. The Millers face competition from Oxford United, who are hoping to bring Matos back for a second spell after he spent last season on loan at the Kassam Stadium. According to journalist Alan Nixon, both clubs are set to compete to sign the player before Monday's transfer deadline. Rotherham are looking to strengthen in their bid to avoid relegation from League One. Matos joined Sheffield United in September 2025 and is under contract until June 2028; his current Transfermarkt valuation is €1.00m.
