Birmingham lining up Juninho

Birmingham are lining up a deal to bring Juninho back to the Premiership on a Bosman free, it was reported today.

The paper says the Blues are set to offer the Brazilian World Cup winner a one-year deal.

City's managing director Karen Brady has visited Spain to meet the midfielder's representatives.

The biggest stumbling block to the move appears to hinge on the Atletico Madrid star wanting a longer contract, the paper says.
