Transfer gossip: Sunderland man set for £100k Tony Mowbray reunion after Stoke City drama

The most recent information regarding Alex Pritchard, who is getting closer to joining Birmingham City.

Several rumors suggest that Alex Pritchard, an attacking midfielder for Sunderland, is close to signing a contract with Birmingham City.

The player, who signed with Sunderland when the team was in League One, previously played for Norwich City and Huddersfield Town. His current contract is about to expire. During the summer window last year, Pritchard was rumored to be open to leave Sunderland, but no bid materialized, so he stayed on at the Academy of Light.

During the current season, the offensive midfielder made a comeback to Sunderland’s squad. He was offered a one-year contract to stay on Wearside, but he turned it down because he wanted long-term security.

After that, the player said he couldn’t play for Sunderland last weekend against Stoke City in the Championship. Nevertheless, Pritchard is reportedly nearing a transfer to Birmingham City, where he will collaborate with former Black Cats manager Tony Mowbray, according to claims from Sunderland Nation. According to their report, the two clubs must reach a tiny agreement on a cost, estimated to be approximately £100,000, in order for the deal to proceed.

Following his withdrawal from today’s matchday squad, Alex Pritchard informed the club on Friday morning that he was no longer available for selection, according to a statement released by the Sunderland club last Saturday. The midfield player additionally declared his intention to quit SAFC right away.

With 115 games across all competitions, Pritchard has contributed 25 assists and nine goals to Sunderland’s 115 goals, helping the team win promotion from League One under Alex Neil two years ago.
