Reportedly, Birmingham City and a well-liked forward who formerly played for Middlesbrough and Everton are close to finalizing a contract agreement.
Of course, Lukas Jutkiewicz is the real deal—a Blues club legend—and fans fervently hope he stays at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park for the upcoming campaign.
If a new agreement isn’t reached by June 30, the 35-year-old’s contract would expire and he will be free to sign with another team. Fortunately for the Bluenoses, however, Jutkiewicz is rumored to be close to extending his contract for another season in order to support his favorite team’s run back to the Championship.
Birmingham Live notes. Since Chris Davies was appointed manager, talks have been had with Jutkiewicz. The player and the club are reportedly “close to agreeing terms,” which would allow “the Juke” to remain in his current position until at least June 2025.
