SKY CONFIRM: Middlesbrough Agree £1.6m Deal With Mansfield Town
Sky Sports have confirmed that Middlesbrough have agreed a deal worth £1.6 million with Mansfield Town for the signing of highly-rated midfielder George Maris. The 28-year-old, who played a key role in Mansfield’s promotion push last season, has attracted significant interest from clubs across the Championship. However, Middlesbrough have moved quickly to secure his signature, seeing him as a valuable addition to their midfield depth.
Maris, known for his energy, passing range, and ability to contribute both defensively and offensively, is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days. The deal marks a significant windfall for Mansfield, who originally signed the player on a free transfer in 2020.
Boro boss Michael Carrick is believed to be a long-term admirer of Maris, and the club views this signing as part of a wider push to build a squad capable of achieving Premier League promotion in the upcoming season.
