Manolis Saliakas, a 29-year-old Greek right-back, is being monitored by Birmingham and several other English clubs. He could leave St. Pauli as a free agent as his contract is expiring soon. The player is reportedly dissatisfied with his role at the German club after losing his place in the starting lineup, which makes a renewal seem unlikely. German club Wolfsburg and English sides Leicester and Preston are also tracking the player's situation. Saliakas is also in discussions with AEK about a potential return to Greece. He joined St. Pauli in July 2022 and has made 9 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, providing one assist. The Greek international has four caps for his country. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.50m.
