Transfer targets

An offer of $12.6M for Jackson Muleka

Blackburn Rovers have gone to Konyaspor with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Leonardo Campana

Blackburn Rovers asked and New England Revolution said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Not going: Kristi Montgomery stays at Blackburn Rovers

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Peterborough United had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Match

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Andrew Collins is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
