New claim emerges on whether Che Adams could return to Birmingham City this summer
Following their promotion to the second-tier this season, Birmingham City are expected to embark upon a busy summer transfer window in which the Blues build a squad capable of challenging for promotion to the Premier League, but it appears that a move for Che Adams is not on the cards.
Chris Davies’ side romped to the League One title this season, setting a new all-time EFL points record of 111 in their 46 games after a summer of heavy spending in 2024, following their surprise relegation.
Chairman and co-owner Tom Wagner has already hinted at the fact that the Second City outfit will be able to spend big to compete with those in the Championship and it is set to be an exciting window for Birmingham supporters.
However, one man previously linked with a return to St Andrew’s, Torino striker Che Adams, is not actually on their list of targets for this summer, according to BirminghamLive
No fairytale Birmingham return for Adams yet
In the last couple of weeks, since their promotion was confirmed, Adams had been linked with a return to Birmingham, with suggestions that they would table a big-money move for the forward, who has two years left on his deal in Italy.
Instead, Birmingham Live have suggested that he is not among their list of targets for this summer, despite the fact that the striker reportedly still has ‘admirers’ at the club.
The report suggests that he doesn’t feature on their ‘summer wish-list’ being worked on by Director of Football Craig Gardner, who played with Adams at Birmingham, and the recruitment team.
Adams is enjoying an impressive season abroad with Serie A side Torino with the Scotland international, like a few other Scots such as Josh Doig, Lewis Ferguson, Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay, as well as Aaron Hickey before that, adapting well to life in Italy.
Adams departed Southampton on a free transfer at the end of his contract with the Saints last summer, having helped Russell Martin’s side to promotion via the play-offs in the Championship.
He has since scored nine goals and provided three assists in 33 appearances for a Torino side that sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table in the Italian top-flight under the management of Antonio Conte disciple, Paolo Vanoli
