Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish will not fight to keep hold of on-loan Barcelona midfielder Alex Hleb.
McLeish appeared unperturbed by Hleb's desire to find a new club - the 29-year-old hopes to remain in the Premier League rather than return to Barcelona - at the end of the season.
"If Alex can make a contribution in the next six games, we will take it," he said.
"If he wants to go in the summer, we will shake his hand and wish him well."
