Nafti poised for Birmingham exit

Nafti has won 30 caps for Tunisia

Birmingham City midfielder Mehdi Nafti looks set to leave St Andrew's after the club confirmed that they will listen to offers for the Tunisian.

Nafti, 30, was left out of Tuesday's FA Cup defeat by Wolves despite Blues not having enough players to fill the substitutes' bench.

Manager Alex McLeish told the club's website: "There's possibly a chance that Medhi will be leaving the club.

"I've spoken to Mehdi and his advisors and there may be something happening."

Nafti has made 12 appearances so far this season and is out of contract in the summer.

He joined Blues from Racing Santander in May 2006 following a successful four-month loan spell.

"He is still contracted until the end of the season but we decided for the moment to leave him out of things," said McLeish.

"We'll just see what happens in the coming weeks before the transfer window closes."
