Ipswich Town’s pursuit of Blackburn Rovers forward Sammie Szmodics continues despite another rejected offer, as reported by TWTD.
The Tractor Boys, aiming for Premier League success after their recent promotion, have seen a second bid of £8 million plus add-ons turned down by Blackburn. Talks between Szmodics and Blackburn have intensified as the situation remains unresolved.
Blackburn manager John Eustace emphasized Szmodics’ importance to the team and admitted that he doesn’t want to lose the prolific forward. However, with time running out in the transfer window, a resolution needs to be reached soon.
Szmodics, the Championship’s top scorer last season, has been a vital player for Blackburn since joining in 2022. His potential departure would be a significant blow, but Blackburn may need to sell to reinvest in other areas of the squad.
As Blackburn approaches their league opener against Derby County, the uncertainty surrounding Szmodics’ future is beginning to affect their preparations for the upcoming season.
