JUST IN: West Brom in £1.7m Talks With Birmingham for Lee Buchanan
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that West Bromwich Albion are in advanced negotiations with Birmingham City over a deal for defender Lee Buchanan. The proposed transfer is reportedly valued at £1.7 million, with talks progressing swiftly between the two Midlands clubs.
Buchanan, 23, joined Birmingham from Werder Bremen in 2023 and has been a standout performer despite the club’s relegation to League One. His versatility and defensive consistency have attracted strong interest from Championship sides, with West Brom keen to bolster their backline ahead of the new season.
Carlos Corberán is believed to be a long-time admirer of Buchanan, viewing him as a key addition to support the Baggies’ promotion push. While the deal is not yet finalized, Romano reports that all parties are optimistic, and personal terms are expected to be discussed shortly. More updates are expected in the coming days as negotiations continue.
