Blackburn Rovers are ready to listen to offers for Bradley Dack in January after a bust-up with manager Jon Dahl Tomasson, sources have told Football Insider.
The playmaker, 28, was axed from the Rovers squad for Tuesday’s 2-0 win over Sunderland.
Dack has struggled to hold down a regular place in the Rovers side under Tomasson and the club are considering offloading him when the transfer window reopens in January.
It is believed there has been a fall-out behind the scenes involving the attacker and the Danish manager.
Dack has a contract that expires next summer, but is believed to include a further 12-month option.
Tomasson plays a high-intensity brand of football that many believe does not suit Dack, who is a classic number 10.
The manager claims that Dack, who suffered back-to-back ACL injuries 2020-21 and 2021-22, has not reached peak match fitness.
But former Rovers boss Tony Mowbray told the press after his Sunderland side’s defeat at Ewood Park that the player claims his physical metrics are the best they have ever been.
Dack signed for Rovers for £750,000 in 2017 and he has dazzled in blue and white, scoring 52 goals and providing 27 assists in 151 appearances.
His partner, reality TV star Olivia Attwood, tweeted this week that she would “move anywhere” if it meant he could play regular football again.
The player himself recently liked tweets that would appear to confirm a rift between him and Tomasson.
