Ryan Porteous: Hibernian considering Blackburn offer for defender
- Published
Ryan Porteous made his senior international debut for Scotland in November
Hibernian are considering an offer from Blackburn Rovers for Scotland defender Ryan Porteous.
Italian side Udinese have already had an offer in the region of £250,000 turned down for the 23-year-old.
There has also been interest - but no bid - from French club Toulouse.
Porteous, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is still expected to play in Sunday's Scottish Cup match with Hearts.
The Edinburgh rivals meet in a fourth-round tie at Easter Road.
Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson confirmed the club have made a bid and called Porteous a "leader".
"At the end of the day, let's see if he decides to go to us because there is also a money issue," the former Denmark striker added.
"We're still waiting for the situation [a response to the bid]."
Porteous rejected the offer of a new Hibs contract earlier this season and made his senior international debut in November's 0-0 draw with Ukraine.
Blackburn are currently placed fifth in England's Championship.
