Hannibal Mejbri, a 23-year-old midfielder, has been suggested as a potential transfer target for Birmingham City, a move that could be pursued by former Manchester United chief John Murtough if he is appointed as the club's director of football. Murtough previously oversaw Mejbri's signing for United in 2019 and also sanctioned his loan move to St Andrew's for the 2022/23 season. During that temporary spell, the Tunisian international made 41 appearances, including 38 in the Championship, and his single goal, a free-kick against West Brom, won the club's Goal of the Season award. A potential deal is considered financially viable, with his transfer fee described as manageable and his wages not an issue. However, persuading him to join could be challenging as he is said to be comfortable at his current club, promotion candidates Burnley, where he has started four league games this season. Last season, he made 27 Premier League appearances, scoring one goal and providing four assists. The entire suggestion of a transfer is described as very tentative, though it is considered possible. Mejbri, who also holds French nationality, joined Burnley in August 2024 and has a contract with the club until June 2028. He has earned 48 caps and scored one goal for Tunisia, and his current Transfermarkt valuation is €15.00m.
