Nahki Wells could still leave Bristol City before the end of the season with two MLS clubs interested in signing the Bermudian international, Bristol Live understands.
Wells stayed put on Monday’s transfer deadline day after Cardiff City failed with two loan bids for the 31-year-old. Despite offering a sizeable wage contribution, the Robins remained insistent that the striker would only depart on a permanent deal as Nigel Pearson valued him as an important member of his squad.
That latter statement is laden in subjectivity given Wells has made just five Championship starts, with his last on November 2 and has fallen to fourth-choice striker behind Chris Martin, Antoine Semenyo and Andi Weimann.
