Birmingham City’s pursuit of a Championship midfielder is hampered financially…….

Josh Laurent, a midfielder for Stoke City, is a target for Birmingham City, however Fraser Gillan, a reporter, has noted that salary may be an issue.

The previous season, Birmingham City and Stoke City were both involved in the struggle to avoid relegation from the Championship.

The Blues were forced into League One, while the Potters managed to move up out of the bottom three. The club’s extremely disappointing campaign came to an end, and its ambitious plans for the future were put on hold.

The club administration hasn’t let the relegation stop them from spending big money, though. With the aid of some striking new additions, City hopes to dominate the third-tier opposition.

At St. Andrew’s, a new name has recently come to light.

Reporter Fraser Gillan claims on X that Birmingham City is “very keen” to sign Stoke City midfielder Josh Laurent. He continues, saying that despite the Blues’ wealth, wages might be an issue.
