According to reports, VfL Wolfsburg and Hellas Verona are interested in signing Birmingham City's 28-year-old German centre-back Phil Neumann before the upcoming deadline on February 2nd. Sassuolo, another Serie A side, is also interested in the defender. Verona is seeking to sign a centre-back before the window closes. This interest in Neumann comes months after he moved to Birmingham from his former club, Hannover 96, on a pre-contract agreement. His contract with the English club runs until June 2028, and he has a current Transfermarkt market value of €3.00m. Neumann has made 10 appearances for Germany at the U20 level. Reports from late 2024 stated that before he joined on a free transfer, Hannover 96 had rejected a €4 million offer for the player from Birmingham City.
