Birmingham City will be looking to put their off-field issues behind them when they begin their pre-season against Portimonense on Tuesday. The clash against the Portuguese side will be a difficult test for the Championship side. With potential takeover talks making headlines in Birmingham recently, the transfer situation has reportedly taken a back seat for the club.
