Exeter City are the latest League One club to have declared an interest in taking Max O’Leary on loan, Bristol Live understands, with the chances of the 25-year-old joining MK Dons now appearing unlikely.
O’Leary’s immediate future at City looks uncertain at present given the arrival of France Under-21 international Stefan Bajic on a free transfer earlier this month and Dan Bentley’s status as club captain and No1, and the Robins have explored the possibility of loaning him out this season.
That has been slightly complicated by Bajic still recovering from a minor wrist injury and the fact the 20-year-old’s transfer is still awaiting international clearance. While that situation remains, it would be deemed unnecessarily risky for the Robins to send O’Leary out, albeit with a recall option in the agreement.
