Bristol City, Istanbul Basaksehir target Leeds defender Barry Douglas

Bristol City are eyeing out-of-contract Leeds defender Barry Douglas.

Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir have also expressed an interest along with clubs in the MLS, says Sky Sports.

He previously spent time abroad playing for Lech Poznan in Poland and Konyaspor in Turkey.

But Douglas recently told the Yorkshire Evening Post another move abroad would be “difficult" with a young family.

The 31-year-old Scotland international is also said to be open to a permanent switch to Blackburn following his loan there last season.

Left-back Douglas joined Leeds in a £3m switch from Wolves in 2018.
