EFL - League One -- Birmingham City FC

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.

It would seem Hannover have dropped a goolie, with not accepting a offer from
Birmingham City.
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 ?
