Dapo Afolayan, a 28-year-old winger with English and Nigerian nationality, could leave Ewood Park soon. With only one year left on his contract, Rovers could choose to sell a player they signed for a fee. A swift exit for Afolayan is a possibility. If a swift exit occurs, Afolayan would have options with other clubs in the UK. It is considered unlikely that Rovers would block such a move. A transfer would allow Rovers to get a fee for his services to invest in a replacement, while the forward could play more regularly elsewhere. The winger joined Blackburn Rovers on February 1, 2026, and has a current market value of €1.80m, according to Transfermarkt.
