It is reported that Middlesbrough have overcome interest from Birmingham City for Rokas Pukstas and are nearing an agreement for the USMNT international midfielder.

According to Sportske Novosti, Birmingham made a concrete offer for Rokas Pukštas recently. The amounts were reportedly similar to Middlesbrough's offer, but it was not as profitable for Hajduk as the Middlesbrough offer.

English second-division club Birmingham City is showing interest in Hajduk's midfielder, Rokas Pukštas. Scouts from the club watched the player during a Conference League qualification match, and the club's American ownership could be a decisive factor in a potential transfer. Other English clubs are also reportedly interested in the midfielder, whose contract with Hajduk is valid until the end of the 2026/27 season.
