It seems Birmingham City’s interim boss Gary Rowett had his eye on Krystian Bielik as a potential transfer target for Millwall. Rowett expressed admiration for Bielik’s versatility, noting his ability to perform well in both defensive midfield and central defense roles. Although discussions were held with Bielik and his agent about a potential move to Millwall, the player ultimately chose Birmingham as his destination.
Rowett emphasized Bielik’s importance to the Birmingham squad, highlighting his flexibility and the different formations he enables the team to play. Despite facing challenges earlier in his career due to injuries, Bielik has found his rhythm at Birmingham, and Rowett sees him as a key player for the team in their upcoming matches.
It sounds like Krystian Bielik’s loan spell at St Andrew’s during the 2022/23 season played a significant role in his decision to join Birmingham City permanently. Despite interest from several other Championship clubs, Bielik chose to stay with Birmingham after experiencing life as a Blues player during his loan spell.
Since joining Birmingham, Bielik has made a considerable impact, accumulating an impressive 83 appearances across all competitions for the club. This surpasses his previous stints at Derby County (49 games) and Charlton Athletic (34 games). Prior to his time at Birmingham, Bielik had also represented clubs like Arsenal and Legia Warsaw.
