Phil Neumann, 29, is the subject of what is described as concrete interest from clubs in the Premier League and Serie A, and a transfer away from Birmingham City is considered possible in the winter market. Nottingham Forest is among the interested clubs in England, while Fiorentina is monitoring the German centre-back in Italy. The former Germany U20 international, who has 10 caps at that level, joined Birmingham on a free transfer in 2025 and has more than 19 months remaining on his contract. Transfermarkt values him at €3.5m, and a fee in that region may be enough to complete a transfer.
