Blackburn Rovers Updates: Jon Russell link, Steve Kapuadi, Sunderland man eyed, the Venky’s cash injection
The goal for Blackburn Rovers is to improve on their successful season under Valerien Ismael.
The Lancashire team had only taken two points from his first seven league games in charge, and the Frenchman was under increasing pressure after failing to turn things around after John Eustace left.
Although a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United on the last day was insufficient to propel Rovers back into the top six, a resurgence emerged after their comeback against Sheffield Wednesday, and they went on to win four of their next five games.

Nectar Triantis of Sunderland is of interest to Blackburn Rovers.
Nectar Triantis, a midfielder for Sunderland, is a target for Blackburn Rovers in the summer.
Despite having already completed the acquisition of Moreirense midfielder Sidnei Tavares, Scottish journalist Scott Burns of the Daily Record claims that Blackburn is the most recent team to pursue a bid for the Australian.
After his 18-month stint at Easter Road ended, the 22-year-old Triantis returned to the Stadium of Light. He had a successful time on loan in the Scottish Premiership with Hibernian, playing 29 games and scoring three goals in the top level last season.
Despite first joining Hibs as a center-back, the 22-year-old made 39 league appearances overall. Under manager David Gray, Triantis was transformed into a midfielder and frequently played in the middle of the park.
Although local reports from May indicated that Pompey’s apparent interest was unfounded, Rovers are set to face fierce competition for Triantis from Bundesliga team St. Pauli as well as second-tier rivals Portsmouth.
Jon Russell is rumored to be joining Blackburn Rovers.
Jon Russell of Barnsley is being watched by four Championship teams, including Blackburn Rovers, who are keen in adding another midfield player.
After the 24-year-old had the best season of his career at Oakwell last season, Football League World has disclosed that Blackburn has joined Oxford United, Stoke City, and Derby County in their pursuit.
Due of his ability to play both defensive and offensive roles, Rovers are reportedly fans of his versatility in midfield.
With 40 games, 11 goals, and two assists, Russell has found a fresh lease on life in Yorkshire, helping the Tykes finish 12th in the third division.
Steve Kapuadi of Blackburn Rovers talks about Legia Warsaw’s future.
After expressing interest in a summer transfer for the defender, Steve Kapuadi, a target for Blackburn Rovers, has made remarks regarding his future at Legia Warsaw.
Journalist Alan Nixon disclosed that Blackburn will pay Legia Warsaw £1.5 million for the 6′ 5 in defender as they search for a replacement for Danny Batth, who left Wolves for Derby County.
According to the Lancashire Telegraph, Kapuadi acknowledged receiving a new contract offer to stay with Legia Warsaw, but he did not rule out leaving, stating that “everything is possible.”
“Blackburn?,” Kapuadi told TVP Sport. Perhaps that query is perhaps a little too late. To be honest, I have very little to say.
“What is the status of my transfer? I have nothing noteworthy to say. While I’m in Legia, I make an effort to savor each moment of my life.
“I can attest that Legia has extended an offer of a new contract to me. Anything is conceivable.
“This is my second season playing in Warsaw, and I’m having fun. The subject is up for discussion.
The reason behind Venky’s £4.85 million investment in Blackburn Rovers was made public.
The Venky family, who own Blackburn Rovers, has invested £4.85 million in the team, and the rationale behind this investment has been made public.
One of the issues facing the Venky’s is that they are effectively spending twice as much to operate the club as they ought to because every pound they pledge to the club must be accompanied by a personal guarantee.
According to the Lancashire Telegraph, they asked for £4.85 million to be transferred to Blackburn on May 26. Their request has now been granted.
As previously stated, the funds will be used to pay salaries and other essential expenses.
When the Venky’s made a similar request to donate £11.4 million to the Championship team in October 2023, the Court looking over the VHPL awarded them a No-Objection Certificate.
The certificate has greatly simplified the process of transferring funds to the club to pay for items like salaries and other obligation expenses.
Supporters will be upset to hear that Rovers will not be able to use any of the £4.85 million to add players to Valerien Ismael’s team because it was requested with the understanding that it would be used for things like summer salaries, according to the Lancashire Telegraph.
