Nigel Pearson says Joe Bryan's potential Bristol City reunion would not be for sentimental reasons should the popular left-back return to the club five years after leaving.
Bristol Live can confirm the Robins are one of the Championship sides interested in the 29-year-old who is set to be available on a free transfer this summer with his deal expiring at Fulham. Stoke, Blackburn, Millwall, Swansea, and Cardiff also hold an interest in Bryan who was sold by City to the Cottagers in 2018.
Pearson was relatively coy when asked whether the reports had any truth to them but didn't deny that Bryan could be making a return to BS3. The Bristol-born defender has spent the season on loan with Nice in the French top flight but has been limited to just 10 appearances.
