Middlesbrough in Advanced Talks to Loan Goalkeeper Mark Travers from Bournemouth

Middlesbrough Football Club are reportedly negotiating a loan deal for Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers to address their goalkeeping crisis due to injuries.

As reported by Football Insider, Boro are currently facing a shortage of goalkeeping options due to injuries to both Sol Brynn and Seny Dieng. As a result, third-choice goalkeeper Tom Glover has been in the starting role in recent weeks.

Michael Carrick is eager to add to his squad's goalkeeping resources and has identified Travers, a Republic of Ireland international, as an ideal candidate. The 25-year-old has primarily served as a backup at Bournemouth this season, often playing second fiddle to Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is on loan from Chelsea.

Since his arrival at Bournemouth from Shamrock Rovers in 2016, Travers has made 82 appearances, predominantly in the Championship. He also had a brief loan spell at Stoke City during the 2023-24 season.
