Carlton Palmer has warned Birmingham City that they may face “serious competition” for out-of-favour Barnsley player Callum Styles, questioning the Tykes’ choice to let him go.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, Styles is on the Blues’ radar as they seek to exit League One with some bold transfer deals under new manager Chris Davies in their first season in the third division since 1994/1995.
According to Nixon’s claim, the Hungarian international, who recently represented his country at Euro 2024, would be able to leave South Yorkshire for a reduced sum of £500,000.
The 24-year-old seems poised to conclude his six-year spell at Oakwell in the coming months, having joined from Bury in 2018. With only one year left on his contract, the Tykes are seeking for a sale this summer before he can depart for free in January.He left on loan to Sunderland last season in quest of regular second-tier action, but the Black Cats have decided not to exercise the buy option in his contract this summer, leaving other clubs free to try to recruit him.
