Half-a-million would land Ryan Porteous from Hibs in January.
That’s according to Jim Duffy, who reckons that sort of figure would tempt the Hibees to cut their losses and flog the wantaway defender, who is out of contract in the summer. The Scotland international has already informed his boyhood club that he won’t be signing the new offer made to him and will speak to other clubs from January.
Lee Johnson and Easter Road chief executive Ben Kensell now have to weigh up whether it’s better to hold on to their first choice centre back, or take what money they can get for him when the transfer window opens next month. Johnson has previously hinted that a move before the end of the season would perhaps be the best solution, but intends to keep playing Porteous until he is no longer a Hibs player.
