Blackburn Rovers, Preston, and Charlton are interested in signing Bristol City's Irish winger, Mark Sykes. The 28-year-old is expected to leave Ashton Gate this summer because his contract is expiring, which will make him available on a free transfer. Sykes, who has been capped seven times for the Republic of Ireland, joined the club in July 2022. Transfermarkt lists his current market value at €1.8 million. Reports from January 2025 suggested that a fee of approximately £1.5 million would have been necessary for Stoke City to sign him.
