Marc Leonard is generating interest from a number of clubs in the Championship and League One, as well as one from MLS, amid Birmingham City exit talk.
According to Birmingham Live, the midfielder has no shortage of suitors this month as speculation mounts on his future with the side.
The midfielder joined the Blues in the 2024 summer transfer window from Brighton, but he has been unable to earn consistent game time under Chris Davies.
The 24-year-old featured 35 times in League One last season as the Midlands outfit earned a record breaking 111 points to clinch promotion.
And he has so far started just five of his 15 appearances in the Championship this term, with the team struggling for consistent form.
Marc Leonard transfer latest
It’s understood that one unnamed club in MLS are interested in a deal to sign Leonard this month.
Belgian side Sint-Truidense have been linked with a deal to sign the Scot, but he is also generating interest from sides in the Championship.
Clubs in League One are also keen on signing the player, but it’s believed that he has no interest in making a return down to the third division at this stage in his career.
Leonard has a contract with Birmingham until the summer of 2028, but it’s expected that he will depart the Blues before the market closes on 2 February.
The second tier side are aiming to build a team capable of competing for promotion this season, and Leonard is seeking greater game time after being unable to assert himself as a key figure in the squad under Davies.
Davies’ side are 14th in the table after 26 games played, sitting seven points adrift of the play-offs.
Next up for Birmingham is a trip to face Swansea City on 17 January in a 5.30pm kick-off.
Marc Leonard options is positive news for Birmingham
The number of clubs coming forward with interest for Leonard is a positive sign for Birmingham, as it means they should be able to make some money from his departure.
The midfielder has proven himself as a capable player at this level, but he just hasn’t been as good a fit for Davies as the other options in the squad.
It’s no surprise he has interest from teams in the second tier, but the opportunity to move to MLS could be tempting at this stage of his career.
There really should be no issues in finding him a move given how long is also left in the window.
