Birmingham struggling to find Michel agreement with Sporting Gijon

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Thu, 08/27/2009 - 08:38

Birmingham City remain hopeful of closing an agreement for Sporting Gijon winger Michel.

The Birmingham Mail says it appears that it was Sporting Gijon who tried to change the original agreement for the midfielder, who is rated at €3 million.

Blues, who have constantly insisted that his transfer would take them over budget, persuaded Gijon to accept the fee in chunks.

Michel was all set to fly into Birmingham for a medical on Tuesday but was left in limbo as negotiations rumbled on.
