Following Sheffield Wednesday's relegation to League One, goalkeeper Pierce Charles is likely to depart the club this summer. The 20-year-old Northern Ireland international is under contract at Hillsborough until June 2027, but his situation is considered uncertain, and the club may need to sell him to avoid losing him for free in the future. Birmingham City, who are expected to need a new goalkeeper as loanee James Beadle is scheduled to return to his parent club Brighton and Hove Albion, have been identified as a club that should make an offer for Charles. Charles joined Sheffield Wednesday in July 2024 after having previously been in Manchester City's academy, and has made 26 total appearances for the Owls, with 11 of those coming this season. His current market value is €500k, according to Transfermarkt. He has also been linked with French club Strasbourg.
