The Blues have already received interest in keeper Bartosz Bialkowski from a number of Championship clubs but none have yet made an offer for the Polish international.
According to the EADT three clubs have made contact regarding the 31-year-old, who signed a contract which runs to the summer of 2021 last summer with Town having an option for a further season.
We understand that it is the case that clubs have been in touch with the Blues regarding Bialkowski since the end of the season, but with none yet having taken their interest any further than that.
Bialkowski has said on a number of occasions that he is happy at Town and plans to live in Suffolk when he hangs up his gloves, however, it is understood that a move back to the Championship is something the former Southampton man would certainly consider having spent several seasons in League One with Notts County prior to his move to the Blues on a free transfer in the summer of 2014.
The once-capped three-times Town Player of the Year is keen to get himself back in the Poland frame having been their third choice at last summer’s World Cup and playing in League One would give him little hope of a return to international football.
With relegation to League One having cut revenue by £9 million, Town are in a position where they will have to look at any serious offer this summer, however, manager Paul Lambert recently insisted that no one would "go out of here on the cheap, no chance, no chance”.
Last summer Birmingham City made a £3 million offer for Bialkowski, which the Blues rebuffed. However, after the keeper’s disappointing 2018/19, Town would almost certainly have to accept a very much smaller sum if a club formalises their interest before the September 2nd transfer deadline.
Like the rest of his team-mates Bialkowski, who is believed to have become Town’s highest-paid player when he signed his new deal last July, is set to take a significant pay cut due to relegation, with some members of the squad facing reductions of 50-60 per cent, according to former manager Mick McCarthy.
