Overview
- Multiple outlets report Birmingham are finalising the transfer, though neither club has announced an agreement.
- Wagner, 28, has been a standout in MLS and was named to the 2025 Team of the Season after recording 11 assists in 35 matches.
- The signing would target immediate help at left back, with Alex Cochrane largely unchallenged and Lee Buchanan sidelined long term.
- José Roberto Núñez first reported the move, and further reports note Wagner is entering the final year of his deal in Philadelphia, with some suggesting Tom Brady’s involvement not independently confirmed.
- Birmingham’s January plans include a left-back, a striker and a midfielder, and the move is set against pressure on Chris Davies and past links to Jesse Marsch, who tried to sign Wagner in 2022.
