The 27-year-old featured in 42 matches for Erol Bulut’s team in the Championship last season, but this campaign, he’s fallen significantly down the pecking order. Wintle hasn’t been included in the matchday squad for the first few games, and Cardiff City is prepared to approve a sale before the transfer deadline.
Ryan Wintle transfer latest
The update reveals that Millwall isn’t the only club keeping an eye on Wintle; there is additional interest from other Championship teams, as well as from clubs in Turkey, though a move abroad is considered less likely. Apart from Millwall, the specific Championship clubs are not mentioned, but it’s reported that Neil Harris is actively trying to bring Wintle to The Den. As anticipated, Bulut has informed Wintle that he has no future at Cardiff and has encouraged the midfielder to choose his next club from the available offers.

Ryan Wintle needs to secure a move away
Given the situation, it’s clear that Wintle needs to leave Cardiff for the sake of his career. He’s proven over the years that he can be a solid option in the Championship, and at 27, he should be seeking a club that will provide him with regular playing time. Bulut has made his decision regarding Wintle, and it’s unlikely to change, so it’s important to respect that, as these things are part of football. A move would be in the best interest of everyone involved, and Wintle will likely make his decision in the coming days.
Millwall’s transfer plans
From Millwall’s perspective, this transfer window has been frustrating. Although they’ve managed to complete a few signings, the fans likely expected more new arrivals by this point. However, it’s challenging for the London club, as their budget doesn’t match that of many of their league rivals, so they often have to wait and see what deals they can secure, requiring patience.
The first two games have highlighted that the squad lacks depth in certain areas, and Wintle would be a valuable addition, bringing some much-needed tenacity and depth to the midfield.
Ideally, Millwall would aim to bring in more than just a midfielder, and it’s certain that Harris is pushing for a busy final week leading up to the 11pm deadline on 30 August. It will be intriguing to see how things unfold, though Harris’s immediate focus will be on Saturday’s trip to Hull, as they look to secure their first points in the league.
