The English press reported on Thursday that Aron Dönnum was linked with Blackburn, a rumour that the club of Valérien Ismaël quickly denied to L'Équipe. After an incident against Le Havre in early November, Aron Dönnum could be tempted to move to England to be closer to his pregnant wife, Celin Bizet, who is a Manchester United player.

A source in England that covered claims from the UK about Toulouse FC's Aron Dønnum moving to Blackburn Rovers has deleted its report. Local sources have dismissed the possibility of the English club signing Dønnum. According to Les Violets, their sources indicate the winger is not expected to join Blackburn Rovers in January. The report also states that the attacker is not interested in joining a club that is fighting relegation. Although a move to Blackburn Rovers is not expected, Dønnum could still leave the Ligue 1 side.

Blackburn Rovers are close to signing Norwegian international midfielder Aron Dønnum from Toulouse. The 27-year-old has travelled to East Lancashire to complete the transfer, which is expected to be announced imminently and will be the club's second signing of the January window. Dønnum moved to the Ligue 1 club in 2023 from Standard Liege and has since made over 70 appearances, while also earning 17 caps and scoring two goals for his country. In the current Ligue 1 season, he has 3 goals and 2 assists in 14 games. His contract at Toulouse expires in June 2027 and his Transfermarkt market value is €5.00m.
