According to the BBC, Bristol City are interested in a deal to sign Ipswich Town defender Harry Clarke. Clarke has 12 months left on his current contract and had limited playing time last season, which resulted in him being loaned out. He did not play during the first half of the season and moved to Charlton Athletic in January, where he made 19 appearances in the Championship. Following the promotion of the Tractor Boys, it is considered unlikely that the 25-year-old will play frequently at Portman Road, despite Kieran McKenna’s departure. This situation has created an opportunity for Bristol City, who are interested in adding the defender after Skubala’s appointment. The Tractor Boys risk losing him for no transfer fee in 2027 and may be willing to consider offers this summer. Skubala wants to strengthen the right-back position, and Bristol City's interest in Clarke has been prompted by uncertainty regarding Ross McCrorie’s contract situation.
