Promotion rivals Coventry City and Ipswich Town made similar decisions to Middlesbrough regarding a move for Patrick Bamford, whose contract with Sheffield United was due to expire. The 32-year-old forward's financial requirements ultimately prevented a transfer to these clubs before he re-signed at Bramall Lane. The one-cap England international has a current market value of €1.20m, according to Transfermarkt. In the current Championship season, he has made 6 appearances without scoring a goal or providing an assist.
