Middlesbrough set asking price for star striker linked to Nottingham Forest

Middlesbrough have named their price for star striker Patrick Bamford. The Teessiders would be looking in the region of £16 million for the forward according to local newspaper The Evening Gazette. Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in the 24-year old.

Nottingham Forest have been linked to Middlesbrough forward Patrick Bamford in recent weeks, and Boro have reportedly set an asking price of £16 million for the former-Chelsea man.

Forest boss Aitor Karanka is looking to reinvigorate his squad for the forthcoming season, and has been exploring the possibility of reunions with plenty of Middlesbrough players, including Bamford, Grant Leadbitter and Adam Clayton.

The forward only signed a new long-term deal with Boro in January, keeping him at the club until 2021. With him being a vital part of the squad which helped Middlesbrough achieve a top six finish, they are not looking to let him go cheap.

Bamford scored 10 goals last season, with the majority coming after Tony Pulis took charge of the club on Boxing Day. He was often played out wide under previous manager Gary Monk, but was given a central striker role under Pulis, which he relished.

Bamford signed from Chelsea in January 2017 for a reported figure of £6 million. The valuation Middlesbrough have set means if they were to sell, they would see a huge profit for the striker.

Nottingham Forest only sold their star striker last season. Britt Assombalonga joined Middlesbrough for £15 million, and scored 15 goals across the campaign. Boro may be looking to recuperate some of this money with the asking price they have set.
