Birmingham eye high-profile transfer
Birmingham City are pursuing a Champions League winner as the transfer window unfolds and wage considerations loom.
Birmingham City pursue a high-profile move for a former Champions League winner as they navigate wage costs and the transfer window.
Birmingham Target Champions League-Winning Liverpool Legend in Stunning Transfer
Birmingham City have been linked with a move for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, currently with Besiktas, as they push to strengthen in the Championship. The club, co-owned by Tom Wagner and NFL star Tom Brady, finished top of League One last season and have started life back in the second tier with a win and a draw. The Mirror claimed Birmingham have opened discussions while the transfer window stays open.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 32, is best known for winning the Champions League with Liverpool in 2019 and helping them secure the league title the following season. His career has been hampered by injuries, and his Turkish spell has seen him work under multiple managers. Besiktas would reportedly consider selling if a bid meets wage expectations, and Oxlade-Chamberlain has recently contributed from the bench, including a 1-0 win over Fenerbahce, signaling a late-career upturn under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

closing thought on club strategy
The potential signing shows how mid-table clubs blend glamour and pragmatism in a crowded market. A big-name recruit can raise a club’s profile and boost ticket sales, but the financial risk remains real if wages become a fixed cost. Birmingham’s pursuit also highlights the growing importance of strategic recruitment in the Championship, where promotion promises financial windfalls but also steep wage bills. If the deal hinges on meeting tough wage demands, the club will need a plan to balance short-term impact with long-term sustainability.
Highlights
- Ambition comes with a price tag and Birmingham is ready to pay
- A big name can shift momentum but not cover the wage bill alone
- Besiktas would listen if a bid matches wages and squad needs
- The window will test how far Birmingham will go to climb the ladder
The coming weeks will test Birmingham’s willingness to take financial risks for potential on-field gains.
