The Championship kicks off when Paul Lambert’s Norwich City host Watford at Carrow Road this Friday.

Mauro Camoranesi’s agent has revealed that Birmingham have been in touch over a possible move for the Juventus midfielder.

The Argentinian-born Italian has been linked with a departure from Juventus after eight years with the Turin club.

His representative Sergio Fortunato has now confirmed that Birmingham are interested in signing the 33-year-old.

“There was an official contact with Birmingham. A Fifa agent gave me a letter from the English management,” he told calciomercato.it.

“They made a proposal and I have discussed it with Juventus.

“Birmingham are a respectable team and the Premier League is a good league.”

Camoranesi has also been linked with Hercules, who who won promotion to the Primera Liga in Spain last season.

“With Hercules there has been never anything official, I’ve just heard these rumours,” said the agent.

“With all due respect to the Spanish club, Mauro wants something more than a newly promoted team.

“Mauro wants to play football at a good level for a couple of years. Then, possibly we’ll think about other solutions.”
