Radek Vitek Latest as Boro Quickly Advance Another Deal After Max Arfsten

Middlesbrough are set to add a goalkeeper who kept 12 clean sheets on loan at Bristol City, with United inserting a buy-back clause.

  • Manchester United are finalizing the sale of 22-year-old goalkeeper Radek Vitek to Middlesbrough, with the player expected to travel to Teesside to complete the permanent transfer.
  • The deal is worth up to £14 million in bonuses and includes a 35 per cent sell-on clause, while United retained matching rights and a buy-back option with Boro.
  • Vitek kept 12 clean sheets and won three Player of the Year awards at Bristol City last season, stating earlier this summer he was "ready to go somewhere again and hopefully be number one."
  • Following Tuesday's arrival of Max Arfsten at Rockliffe, Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick is expanding his squad with Vitek to provide competition for incumbent goalkeeper Sol Brynn.
  • Elsewhere, United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is closing in on a loan move to Celta Vigo, marking the club's second senior keeper departure this summer after Tyler Fredricson's exit.
