“Should be a deal that suits all parties” – Birmingham City take action over future permanent Wolves deal: The verdict

This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict’ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Birmingham City have made contact with Wolves over a permanent deal for Matija Sarkic, according to Birmingham Live.

The goalkeeper impressed on loan this season but saw his move cut short due to injury.

It seems the Blues are keen to bring him back to St Andrew’s and have even enquired about a permanent deal.

But is that a good move? And do they need him?

We quizzed our FLW writers for their thoughts…

This would be a good move for Birmingham to make this summer.

The Wolves player has played well for Bowyer’s side when given the opportunity and has shown plenty of potential.

He would be a good addition to the side and that continuity from season to season should help the Montenegro international continue developing his game.

It is unlikely that Sarkic still has a future with the Premier League side so this should be a deal that suits all parties.

And while he hasn’t been in the team as much as of late due to injury, he still offers great competition for Neil Etheridge between the sticks which can only be a good thing for the team overall.

It is no surprise to see that the Blues would like to permanently sign Matija Sarkic from Wolves this summer, with the 24-year-old certainly impressing during the first half of the campaign.

Keeping 10 clean sheets in 23 Championship outings, Sarkic proved himself as an excellent shot-stopper and a composed figure in possession.

A deal to sign the young goalkeeper on a permanent deal would represent excellent business from a Birmingham perspective,
