Blues are prepared to part with a substantial quantity of money this summer in order to support Chris Davies and minimize their time in League One.
Davies is eager to add originality and strengthen his alternatives in the park’s center.
Although Birmingham has been holding out for Leonard, the competition to recruit him has suddenly intensified.
Huddersfield and Barnsley, two more League One teams, have already entered the chase for him.
Both teams are financially capable of providing Birmingham with serious competition for Leonard, and they both hope to be promoted in the upcoming season.
Marc Leonard, a midfielder for Brighton & Hove Albion who excelled while on loan at Northampton Town last season, is the result of that quest for Birmingham.
