Abdoulie Manneh's proposed transfer to Birmingham City did not proceed at a late stage because rival interest emerged in the player. FLW revealed that there was a late development in the potential transfer, with the deal not proceeding at a very late stage.

Abdoulie Manneh's transfer to Birmingham City from Mjallby has suddenly broken down. The winger had been scheduled to travel for a medical yesterday to complete his transfer. It is not clear whether the breakdown is related to Manneh himself, his club, or the fee. According to FLW, a late problem has caused issues and there is now a significant impasse. The transfer for the 21-year-old will not proceed and will not be revisited unless a significant and quick resolution is reached.

According to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Neil Moxley, Birmingham have completed the signing of 21-year-old winger Abdoulie Manneh. The Blues have agreed a permanent deal with Swedish club Mjallby for the attacker, and Manneh is expected to officially complete the move in the coming hours.

Gambian international Abdoulie Manneh, 21, is expected to arrive at St Andrew's within the next 24 hours after Birmingham City agreed a permanent deal with Swedish club Mjallby. The winger has scored seven goals this season in the Allsvenskan after joining in January 2024. He can play on either flank but is more comfortable on the left. Manneh's arrival is intended to add pace to Chris Davies's attack as the club looks to boost its play-off ambitions, and his signing is expected to result in Lewis Koumas returning to Liverpool later this month. Manneh, who has 4 caps and 3 goals for The Gambia, has a contract with Mjallby until the end of 2027 and a current market value of €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt. He had also attracted interest from clubs such as AFC Bournemouth, Stoke City and Coventry City.
