Ryan Alebiosu is heading into a summer of uncertainty at Blackburn Rovers, with the club preparing for changes that could see the Super Eagles right-back playing alongside a largely new set of teammates next season, Footynaija.com reports.

Blackburn survived another difficult Championship campaign under Michael O’Neill, spending much of the season uncomfortably close to the relegation zone before pulling clear in the final weeks.

The immediate priority of staying up has been achieved, but the rebuild that follows looks substantial. At the centre of it is the expected departure of club captain Todd Cantwell.

The attacking midfielder has one year left on his contract and spent much of the season sidelined through injury. Blackburn are ready to listen to offers, with selling this summer their last realistic chance to generate a meaningful fee rather than lose him for nothing in 2027.

Alebiosu himself among the sellable assets

Blackburn rejected multi-million pound offers for Alebiosu during the January transfer window, determined not to lose him mid-season. According to a report by the72, that position has shifted heading into the summer, with the club now viewing the 24-year-old as a sellable asset alongside Cantwell.

His contract runs until 2028, giving Rovers strong leverage in any negotiation, and his performances for both club and country this season have only increased his market value.

Alebiosu made 38 appearances across all competitions this season, establishing himself as one of Blackburn’s most consistent performers and earning his first senior Super Eagles call-up under Eric Chelle in the process.

His ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch, combining defensive solidity with a willingness to overlap and deliver from wide positions, has attracted interest from clubs higher up the football pyramid.
