Earlier on Thursday we covered claims from Germany’s Bild that Middlesbrough remained the ‘hottest track’ for Neven Subotic.
Germany’s Kicker have a slightly different take and say it’s Subotic fighting to prove he’s fit and ready for a transfer, that would be the hold up and not Dortmund.
English interest is mentioned, although not Middlesbrough by name, and Hamburg are also said to be interested. The big doubt for all clubs is whether Subotic is now free of his long term injury problems, or whether another fitness problem is on the way.
Whilst Subotic has been training he’s still not back in full contention with the squad and therefore clubs would wait and see how his fitness progresses throughout January.
