Reading FC striker Lucas Joao is reportedly a transfer target of several Championship clubs this summer.

The Royals may be tempted to sell the forward, who only has one year remaining on his contract, to help ease their financial troubles.

According to footballleagueworld.co.uk, Joao is on the radar of Middlesbrough, Burnley, Nottingham Forest among others.

Paul Ince’s team will once again this summer be under a transfer embargo which will limit them to signing free agents and loans after the club breached EFL profit and sustainability regulations.

Joao has become a pivotal figure in Berkshire since arriving from Sheffield Wednesday in August 2019 for around £5million.

His first season at Reading was interrupted by injury but he managed to score six goals in 19 league games.

The following season under Veljko Paunovic saw Joao flourish as his goals had the Royals in contention for the play-offs for the entire season, until they missed out late on.

He contributed 19 goals in 39 Championship games in the 2020/21 season.

A hip injury kept Joao on the sidelines for more than five months at the beginning of the 2021/22 season.

But he returned from the long term injury and displayed excellent form to help the Royals in their fight against relegation.

Joao netted 10 times in 21 games and was awarded the EFL Player of the Month award for February.
