Former Preston North End loanee Liam Millar is set to be the target of plenty of Championship interest this summer, with Sheffield United, Burnley and Sunderland among the teams that will battle for signature.
The Basel midfielder is currently off preparing for some international games before he heads to the Copa América to play for his national team, Canada.
Millar impressed during his season-long loan at Deepdale, and two of the newly relegated sides, plus the Black Cats, are said to be keen on the 24-year-old, according to The Sun.
Preston chief Peter Risdale told BBC Radio Lancashire that a potential return deal for their former player is possible, but that they are looking in other directions too.
“Are we still talking to him, his agent and Basel? Yes,” said Risdale, via LEP. “I don’t know what the outcome will be so I am planning without Liam but that isn’t a foregone conclusion that he won’t be coming back.”
Owain Wyse, Football League World’s Blades fan pundit, believes that Millar would be a very smart addition to Chris Wilder’s side.
He said: “I think Millar seems a good link. This summer is going to be massive. We’re going to be linked with a lot of players, and we’re going to need a lot of players to fill the squad for next season.
