Mejbri eyed by Marseille, Sanderson update: What is going on transfer-wise at Birmingham City? | OneFootball

With the transfer window now open, it will be intriguing to see whether Birmingham City opt to engage in a reasonable amount of activity in the coming weeks.

The Blues bolstered their squad last summer by securing the services of eight players while they also parted ways with a host of individuals.

Whereas Birmingham have produced some encouraging performances this season, their progress in the Championship has been hindered recently by a lack of consistency.

If head coach John Eustace is provided with some funds to add to his squad, he could bolster the club’s chances of achieving some success at this level by nailing his recruitment.

Here, we have decided to take a look at what is going on transfer-wise at Birmingham right now…

According to a Patreon report from Alan Nixon, Birmingham loanee Hannibal Mejbri is attracting interest from Marseille.

It is understood that Marseille have sent scouts to monitor the progress of the midfielder this season.

The French outfit will be able to provide Mejbri the chance to play in Ligue 1 if they convince Manchester United to recall him from Birmingham in order to facilitate a move.

Since joining the Blues on a temporary basis from the Red Devils, Mejbri has made 20 appearances for the club in the Championship.

The Tunisia international recently registered his third assist of the season during Birmingham’s 3-2 victory over Reading at St Andrew’s.

Dion Sanderson could be sold by his parent-club Wolverhampton Wanderers if a team submit an offer of £3m for him, according to a report from Football Scotland.

However, it is understood that Wolves do not possess an option to recall Sanderson from his loan spell at Birmingham this month.

Therefore, Birmingham would have to give the green light to Wolves to facilitate a permanent move for the defender to another club between now and the end of January.

Rangers recently sent scout John Park to watch Sanderson and are believed to be interested in signing the 23-year-old.

Birmingham are also interested in the possibility of securing the services of Sanderson on a full-time basis and thus will have to meet the aforementioned valuation in order to finalise a deal.
