According to Birmingham World, Sheffield United are interested in signing Marc Leonard. Leonard is expected to leave Birmingham City this month as he is no longer favored by manager Chris Davies. The player also has interest from overseas.

A report from Birmingham Live outlined that Sheffield United have been long-term admirers of Marc Leonard, and that a potential exit is possible if a replacement can be found.

Scottish midfielder Marc Leonard, 24, could leave Birmingham City in January after being left out of the squad for the team's victory over Coventry City, an omission manager Chris Davies attributed to selection. When asked about a potential exit for the player, Davies said that they would have to see. It is possible for Leonard to depart this month. The midfielder has been frustrated with his lack of game time and could have left last summer before being convinced by Chris Davies to remain with the club. Over the last 12 months, Leonard has attracted interest from Championship clubs, including Sheffield United and Norwich City. A loan is believed to be more likely than a permanent transfer at this point, as the player has two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract. He joined Birmingham City in July 2024 and has been capped 7 times for the Scotland U21 team. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €700k.
