Middlesbrough targets Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek

Championship side Middlesbrough have placed 22‑year‑old Czech goalkeeper Radek Vitek on their transfer list. Vitek, a Manchester United player, spent the 2023‑24 season on loan at Bristol City where he won the club's individual awards and gained regular Championship experience. Middlesbrough, looking to rebuild after a play‑off disappointment, view Vitek as a potential long‑term solution to the goalkeeper position and are considering both a loan and a permanent deal.

The club’s recent summer spending has been underpinned by the £25 million sale of academy graduate Hayden Hackney and a sell‑on clause from Morgan Rogers’ move to Chelsea, giving them a healthy budget for the target. No agreement has been reached yet, but negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks.
