Aurelien Guernier on Sporting's radar, could arrive on a free | OneFootball

Sporting are among the clubs monitoring the situation of Aurelien Guernier, the young Birmingham City winger whose contract expires at the end of this month. According to journalist Rudy Galetti, the Lions are keeping an eye on the 18-year-old and could take advantage of the market opportunity if he does not renew with the English club.

The same source adds that Birmingham are still trying to convince one of their top academy prospects to extend his deal, but the player’s future remains open. That uncertainty has sparked the interest of several European clubs, including Sporting.

However, the competition is expected to be strong. Recently, Rudy Galetti revealed that two Premier League clubs and one Ligue 1 club have already submitted concrete offers for the left winger. Meanwhile, French newspaper L'Équipe identified Strasbourg as one of the clubs most interested in signing the young Englishman.

Despite the growing interest in the market, Guernier has yet to make his official debut for Birmingham’s first team. Last season, he played for the English club’s under-21 side, where he recorded three goals and one assist in 15 matches.

The winger was, however, called up to first-team duties for the first time in March this year. He was included in the squad for the Championship match against Queens Park Rangers, although he remained on the bench for the entire game.
