According to journalist Alan Nixon, Ipswich Town are now prepared to let reserve goalkeeper Alex Palmer leave on loan. Blackburn Rovers could look to sign Palmer, as the future of their current first-choice keeper Balasz Toth is uncertain heading into the final 48 hours of the transfer window. Celtic are reportedly monitoring the Hungarian international. If a sale of Toth is sanctioned and a replacement is required, Blackburn could pursue Palmer on loan.

According to journalist Steve Tudgay on X, Blackburn Rovers are interested in Ipswich Town goalkeeper Alex Palmer, along with West Brom. Tudgay states that Mowbray’s men are keen on signing him this summer if possible. Palmer's future at Ipswich Town is currently uncertain, as his game time has decreased in recent times behind Christian Walton.

Lancashire Telegraph reporter Elliott Jackson has suggested Blackburn Rovers should target Ipswich Town's English goalkeeper Alex Palmer, whose future is considered uncertain. According to Jackson, Palmer was replaced in the team by Christian Walton last season and could be available for a loan or permanent transfer, with a departure in the coming weeks seen as a possibility, especially if the newly-promoted Premier League club signs another goalkeeper. The 29-year-old, who is under contract until June 2028, could be a target for Blackburn if either Balasz Toth or Aynsley Pears were to leave. A reunion is considered a possibility as Blackburn's head coach, Tony Mowbray, previously managed Palmer during their time together at West Brom. It is believed the keeper would seek to become the primary goalkeeper at Ewood Park if he joined. Palmer made 10 appearances in the Championship during the 2025/2026 season, having joined Ipswich from West Bromwich Albion in February 2025 for a reported fee of €2.4 million. West Bromwich Albion has also been linked with a move for the player. His current market value is €1.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
