Nigel Pearson has suggested Bristol City will consider Dan Bentley’s future this month if the Robins were to receive a serious offer but will not be bullied into doing business, particularly if he feels it leaves them short.
As reported on Wednesday, Bristol Live understands fellow Championship side Stoke City are interested in signing City’s club captain on a loan deal until the end of the season. The Potters have failed to have a consistent number one this campaign with both Jack Bonham and Joe Bursik sharing duties and Alex Neil eyes Bentley as a potential solution.
Bentley, whose contract expires in the summer, last featured for the Robins in the reverse of Saturday’s fixture - a 3-0 defeat to Birmingham City in October. Since then, Max O’Leary has been preferred in the last 13 Championship matches while summer signing Stefan Bajic was handed his debut for the 3-1 League Cup defeat to Lincoln in November.
