Carlos Vicente on the Verge of Joining Birmingham City

omidbasir- Carlos Vicente is on the brink of becoming a new player for Birmingham City, as negotiations between the English club and Deportivo Alavés are in the final stages, close to being finalized for a fee around eight million euros. Both parties are finalizing the details of a definitive agreement that would provide a significant financial boost to the Vitoria-based club during this crucial phase of the winter transfer market.

This transfer comes at an opportune moment for Carlos Vicente, who is having his best season since arriving at Mendizorroza, showcasing impressive statistics in terms of goals and assists that have caught the attention of European clubs. His offensive prowess and influence on Alavés’s gameplay have piqued the interest of several teams, but it is Birmingham that has taken decisive action to secure his signing. The 26-year-old winger is optimistic about making the leap to English football and is eager to take on the challenge of an ambitious project in the Championship.

In Birmingham, Vicente is expected to receive a contract for three and a half seasons, where he is positioned as a key player to help elevate the club’s sporting aspirations in the medium term. The investment made by the English side reflects their confidence in his potential and his ability to adapt to a more physical and intense style of football. For Alavés, this transaction will mean the loss of a crucial player, but it also brings in vital funds to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.

Barring any unexpected developments, the next step will be Vicente traveling to undergo a medical examination and to sign his new contract, which could be officially announced shortly. His recent farewell from Mendizorroza hinted at an imminent departure, following a standout performance where he received a warm ovation from the fans. All signs point to St Andrew’s being his next venue, where he aims to further his development away from LaLiga.

Meanwhile, Alavés is in negotiations with Ángel Pérez from SD Huesca as a potential replacement for Carlos Vicente.
