Middlesbrough FC's stance on ex-Huddersfield Town man Delano Burgzorg outlined as Bristol City linked

The 27-year-old arrived at the Riverside in the summer of 2024, making a permanent move from German outfit Mainz 05.

He had previously been introduced to English football at Huddersfield Town, where he spent the 2023/24 campaign on loan.

Burgzorg has featured regularly for Middlesbrough this season, amassing 23 appearances in all competitions. However, he has struggled for consistency and registered just one goal and three assists.

According to the Northern Echo, the versatile attacker is on the wishlist of fellow Championship outfit Bristol City.

It has been suggested Middlesbrough will not stand in his way, although they will reportedly need to have a replacement lined up.

Burgzorg is under contract at the Riverside until 2028, meaning Middlesbrough will most likely pocket a fee if they move the Dutchman on.

Mixed spells

The forward’s time at Middlesbrough could be described as mixed, as could his season at Huddersfield.

Following the conclusion of his Huddersfield loan spell, which ended with relegation from the Championship, he signed off with a parting shot.

He said: “Last words Della. Thanks for the support this season, doesn’t matter how you treat me in the last weeks, I always be thankful and always gave 100 per cent.

"Unfortunately we couldn’t make it at the end, but HTAFC will be back stronger. All the best in the future Terriers, UTT. PS: Don’t believe everything what you hear if you don’t see it with your own eyes, when the heat is on…You should stick together not walk away from it.”

Bristol City are also keen on Middlesbrough defender Neto Borges, who is currently on loan at Ashton Gate.

His loan deal runs until the end of the season but Robins boss Gerhard Struber has already made it clear he would like a permanent deal.
