Image: Basso: No bid from United

Bristol City boss Gary Johnson has denied suggestions that Sheff United have bid for Adriano Basso.

Johnson has yet to be contacted regarding goalkeeper

Bristol City manager Gary Johnson has rubbished suggestions that Sheffield United have made an approach for goalkeeper Adriano Basso. The 34-year-old is expected to leave Ashton Gate this summer after rejecting a new contract and handing in a transfer request. City's Championship rivals United have emerged as rumoured contenders for Basso's signature as they look to build a squad capable of earning promotion. But Johnson insists he has not been contacted by Blades boss Kevin Blackwell regarding the sot-stopper. When asked about Basso, Johnson said: "Until somebody speaks to me then it's speculation. We've received no calls."
