Dael Fry, an English defender who is 28 and has not been a first-choice player at Middlesbrough for years, will be out of contract this summer. Sheffield United has been identified as a potential destination for the defender, with Charlton Athletic and Stoke City also mentioned as possible suitors. Sheffield United may be looking for another option in central defence as Ben Mee is getting older. With Sheffield United's parachute payments concluding this summer, free transfers are a more attractive proposition for the club. Fry is considered a suitable player for Sheffield United due to his age and profile, and it is thought he is unlikely to demand a significant amount of playing time. The centre-back has 11 caps for the England U21 team and a current market value of €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
