Birmingham City are among the clubs interested in Andy Rinomhota as he looks set to leave Cardiff City, as per Darren Witcoop.
Birmingham City are flexing their financial muscles as they prepare for a season in League One.
The Blues endured a dismal 2023/24 campaign despite the excitement over their long-awaited takeover and it ended with them dropping from the Championship. It certainly delays their ambitious plans to journey back up the leagues, but it by no means ends their goal to eventually return to the top-flight.
In an effort to build a side capable of storming the third-tier, City have been splashing the cash this summer. A whole host of players have been linked with moves to St. Andrew’s too.
Now, a new target has emerged in fresh reports.
Writing on X, Darren Witcoop has said that Birmingham City are among the clubs looking into a deal for Cardiff City midfielder Andy Rinomhota this summer.
A feasible target
While Birmingham City have been setting their sights on ambitious deals this summer, a move for Rinomhota is one that seems very feasible. He’d still be a great addition, but it’s one that is definitely within the realms of possibility too.
The former Reading man hasn’t played below the Championship before but having fallen down the Cardiff City pecking order, a move to a highly ambitious League One side could be great for him.
The Blues are in the market for reinforcements in the middle of the park and Rinomhota would be a strong defensive presence. His aforementioned Championship pedigree should see him find success in the third-tier too.
Other clubs are keen though, and it would not be a surprise if second-tier sides were keen. That could prove to be an obstacle for City, despite their riches and lofty aims for the future.
