According to the Daily Star print edition (via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birminghammail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/birmingham-city-launch-bid-15m-16329539\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Birmingham Mail<\/a>), the Pole was subject to a \u00a31.5 million bid from Birmingham City.<\/p>\n<p>The Polish international is one of the highest earners at Ipswich despite taking a wage cut following Town&#8217;s relegation; however, the shot-stopper is keen to remain playing at the highest possible level in an attempt to regain his chances with the national team.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Ipswich have already added goalkeeper <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/66eb6bca\/Tomas-Holy?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tomas Holy<\/a> to their squad. The 27-year-old joined the Tractor Boys from Gillingham towards the end of May 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Bialkowski&#8217;s departure, therefore, leaves the Blues with just one other goalkeeping option in young shot-stopper Harry Wright.<\/p>\n<p>The son of former Ipswich and England &#8216;keeper Richard has been a mainstay of the club&#8217;s U23 side throughout 2018\/19.<\/p>\n<p>Wright signed a professional contract until 2020 prior to Christmas 2018. The young shot-stopper has spent temporary spells away from Portman Road, featuring for East Thurrock United and Chelmsford City.<\/p>\n<p>Former Blues boss Paul Hurst did, however, praise Wright&#8217;s progress towards the start of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarry is still growing, is still developing, but I think it\u2019s a great experience for him (to have been on the bench).&#8221; he told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eadt.co.uk\/sport\/wright-joins-chelmsford-on-loan-1-5953828\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">East Anglian Daily Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s very good with the ball with his feet.
