7 players set to leave Middlesbrough as it stands as defender linked with Sheffield United and Burnley
There are some major decisions facing Middlesbrough as a number of players enter the final months of their current contracts.
Middlesbrough are facing some big decisions over several members of their squad over the coming weeks.
Kim Hellberg and his players are currently focused on trying to secure promotion into the Premier League - although it looks increasingly likely they may have to come through the play-off places after Ipswich Town took control of the race for a top two spot alongside runaway leaders Coventry City.
The outcome of Boro’s push for the top flight may well dictate the decision they make over converting existing loan deals into permanent moves and whether current members of their squad now in the final months of their contracts are handed a chance to extend their time at the Riverside Stadium.
One player that finds himself in that scenario is defender Dael Fry, who has made almost 300 appearances since breaking into the Boro first-team set-up a decade ago. The 28-year-old is out of contract this summer and is yet to come to an agreement over a new deal with his boyhood club. That has led to speculation the centre back could depart at the end of the season and SportsBoom have reported four clubs could consider a move for the Boro academy graduate. Championship rivals Sheffield United and Charlton Athletic are named alongside Premier League strugglers Burnley and Lincoln City, who are already planning for life in the second tier after securing promotion at the weekend. But when do the contracts of other Middlesbrough players come to an end and what decisions are facing the Boro hierarchy over the coming months?
