Birmingham City wants to stay with Baek Seung-ho, but Blackburn Rovers are tempting.
“Birmingham Live” reported on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time) that “Birmingham midfielder Baek Seung-ho is the subject of interest in Blackburn. As soon as he came to the transfer market in the winter, Baek made a good impression and even scored in the final match. Amid Birmingham’s relegation, Baek along with Christian Bielic and Jordan James, has a uncertain future in Birmingham. Blackburn has offered. Manager Chris Davis said, “I want Baek to stay.”
Birmingham defeated Norwich City 1-0 in the final match of the English Championship (minor league) in the 2023-24 season. However, it was demoted to the English League 1 (minor league) as it ranked 22nd in the final. With Birmingham being demoted, the future of Baek Seung-ho became unclear. Baek played only the second half of the season and played in 18 league matches, showing an outstanding performance.
Despite Baek’s performance, Birmingham was demoted and it is questionable whether he will remain with the team next season. Blackburn wants Baek. British media ‘Inside Football’ reported on Sunday, “Blackburn coach John Justus wants to visit Birmingham City to recruit midfielder Baek Seung-ho. Birmingham has been demoted to the third division, and some players may not prefer to play in the third division. It is uncertain whether Baek will leave Birmingham for Blackburn.”
Blackburn is a club that was once considered the dominant player in the Premier League, and has won three championships in the first division. He also won the Premier League title in the 1994-95 season and has won trophies in many competitions, including six FA Cup titles in England.
Most of them are in the 20th century, and they have fallen into a weak team in the 21st century. After relegation in the 2011-12 season, they have not been in the Premier League for more than 10 years. In the 2017-18 season, they played in League 1. Blackburn, now a Championship member, was likely to be demoted again last season, but survived by staying in 19th place.토토사이트 순위
As Blackburn is playing in the Championship, he is more attractive than playing in Birmingham. It has been understood that John Justus also wants Baek, but Davis, the new Birmingham coach, wants to retain him. Davis was a former Brandon Rodgers coach who served as Tottenham Hotspur manager under Enze Postecoglou until last season. He became Birmingham’s new coach this summer.
“Davis will try to catch players who are rumored to be transferred when they return after the break,” Birmingham Live said on Tuesday. “Baek Seung-ho will also be included in the list.” “Davis’ message is clear. I hope he will also play for Birmingham in the next season.” As such, Birmingham will strive to stay in the club, but it will certainly be difficult for him to change his mind just by playing in League 1.
