Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson will not be sold this summer, Sportsmail understands.
Owner Steve Gibson is determined to keep his nephew at the club and wants him to lead their promotion charge next season.
The 24-year-old has been linked with Chelsea and Liverpool in recent months after winning his first England call-up in March.
Gibson - an academy graduate - has enhanced his reputation during his first season in the Premier League, despite the team suffering relegation.
