Birmingham in no rush to sell Sebastian Larsson
In demand: Blackburn and Newcastle are interested in Larsson[LNB]Birmingham have told in-demand winger Sebastian Larsson they will only offload him 'when it is right for the club'. [LNB]Larsson is out of contract in the summer and is a target for Newcastle and Blackburn. [LNB]The Sweden international, who has recovered from a hip problem, has failed to reach agreement with the Blues over a new contract. [LNB]But City manager Alex McLeish will only allow him to leave in January if it suits the Midlands club. [LNB]'There's nothing happening at the moment with Seb,' McLeish said. 'Everything has got to be right for the club as well. [LNB]'Let's not forget, first and foremost, we have to do what's right for the club and Seb is still here. 'He's still here and fighting for a place. [LNB]'There has been a bit of interest, no doubt about it, but he's still a Birmingham player.' [LNB]Birmingham agreed a fee of around £1million with Newcastle for the former Arsenal player but he could not agree personal terms. But Blackburn's offer of around £500,000 has been rejected. [LNB]Larsson has resumed training and is in contention for Saturday's clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.[LNB] Blackburn plan double midfield raid for Larsson and Argentine RiquelmeBirmingham boss McLeish running out of options as Man City reject Jo loanSuper Seb: Blackburn join list of clubs chasing Birmingham star Larsson [LNB] Explore more:People: Alex McLeish, Sebastian Larsson Places: Birmingham, Newcastle
