The Blues are searching for a central defender to replace the injured Regan Poole
Tom McIntyre has reportedly agreed to a £75,000 fee with Pompey, according to reports.
With the deadline for transfers on Thursday approaching, the Blues have set their sights on the central defender as their fourth acquisition of the year.
The Reading Chronicle reports that the clubs have now hammered out a fee for the 25-year-old.
Manager Ruben Selles and director of football Mark Bowen are said to have been informed of the events after they were informed that the arrangement had been signed without their knowledge.
Due to injuries, McIntyre has only made 12 appearances this season; Pompey will now need to negotiate personal terms.
The Blues’ January transfer business has so far consisted of Matt Macey, Myles Peart-Harris and Callum Lang.
Carlisle’s Owen Moxon is also in their sights, yet adding to their defensive ranks remains a priority having never replaced the injured Regan Poole.
Now it appears the League One leaders are a step closer to capturing the well-regarded McIntyre, who rose through the Reading ranks to feature in their first-team 117 times, with seven goals.
