Birmingham City close to signing 27 year-old Hannover centre-back Phil Neumann,
the player has already had a medical, but there is a stumbling block on the fee.
Birmingham City had a 3.4 million pounds offer turned down for the player last summer,
with Hannover still holding out for 4 million pounds.

Turns out the contract Phil Neumann has with the club, runs out in the summer 2025,
so the player can talk to other clubs, from now January 2025.
Been reported Neumann has now agreed a pre-contract agreement with Birmingham
City for the 2025-26 season.
With Hannover holding out for money now, they lose the player for nothing.

Who does that remind you of ?
Birmingham City FC have made a pre-contract agreement with Phil Neumann, for the player to
join the club in July 2025.
The player will be out of contract at Bundesliga 2 side Hannover 96 in the summer 2025.

Hannover 96 have shot themselves in the foot, after not accepting a 3.4 million pounds offer
from Birmingham City, after holding out for 4 million pounds.

So now the player leaves the club for nothing.

How can a club afford to lose 3.4 million pounds from the coffers, surely the shareholders will
want answers.
