Birmingham Push for Carlos Vicente as Koumas Heads Back to Liverpool
Birmingham City are moving decisively in the transfer market and this is a deal that could reshape their season. The Championship club is closing in on the signing of Carlos Vicente, the highly productive winger from Alavés, with talks now at an advanced stage and expectations that the move could be wrapped up very quickly.
Vicente, 26, is set to travel to England as Birmingham look to finalise a transfer believed to be worth around eight million euros. It is a clear statement of intent from a club that still believes promotion to the Premier League is within reach. Birmingham sit just outside the play-off places and while the table shows a mid-pack position, the gap is far from insurmountable.
This is not a speculative signing. Vicente arrives with a strong reputation built in La Liga. He has delivered goals, assists and consistent attacking threat this season and he is known for direct running, quick decision-making and an ability to change games from wide areas. For Birmingham, who are searching for more cutting edge in the final third, this is exactly the profile they have been targeting.

But this move also triggers a domino effect. Birmingham are now expected to send Lewis Koumas back to Liverpool before the end of his loan. Koumas arrived with promise and gained valuable experience, making regular appearances across competitions, but opportunities in the Championship have been limited. With new attacking reinforcements coming in, the club sees little sense in keeping a young loanee on the fringes.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are open to recalling Koumas and several Championship clubs are already monitoring the situation closely. For the player, a fresh loan where he can start regularly may be the best outcome and for Birmingham, it clears space and resources for a push built around more established contributors.
This news matters because it underlines Birmingham’s ambition. After promotion from League One last season, consolidation would have been an acceptable outcome. Instead, the club is spending, planning and acting like a side that believes it can go higher, faster. Bringing in a proven top-flight winger mid-season is a risk, but it is also a signal to rivals that Birmingham intend to compete, not coast.
If Vicente settles quickly, this could be one of the most influential Championship signings of the window. If not, the pressure will be intense. Either way, Birmingham have drawn a line in the sand.
Stay with us as this story develops and keep watching for confirmed details, reaction from both clubs and what this could mean for the promotion race going forward.
