Blackburn Rovers are proceeding with efforts to sign Barnsley player Reyes Cleary but, according to the Lancashire Telegraph, have not yet made a second bid. Rovers had a bid rejected early this month and have not submitted a new one, despite reports. A new bid is expected to arrive this week as Rovers increase their efforts to sign Cleary. Valerien Ismael has stressed the importance of signing another striker and stated his expectation for that to happen ahead of facing Hull City on Saturday. The 21-year-old has received significant interest from the Championship during the transfer window. Barnsley boss Connor Hourihane has been consistent that he does not want to lose a star player, but there is a belief that the board at Oakwell may approve a deal at the right price. On Monday morning, Hourihane revealed that he, the club, and chief executive Jon Flatman communicate constantly and there was no new information over the weekend. He stated that they are entering this week hoping the players will remain with them by the end of the window. Hourihane added that they have a task this week to bring players in and hopefully not lose anyone, which is equally important. He said they know the cycle they are in and everyone has a price, but he hopes all the players stay and a figure is not proposed that the club considers to be a good one. He knows those players will be costly for other clubs and hopes that next Monday they will have reinforcements and all the players mentioned will be at the club.

Barnsley chairman Neerav Perakh insists Reyes Cleary will not be sold cheaply. According to the Barnsley Chronicle, Perakh informed a fans' forum that the Yorkshire outfit has already turned down multiple offers for the forward. Perakh said that they have turned down four bids for Reyes from two different Championship clubs and are not going to sell cheaply. He stated that they are very sure their best players should stay and that the idea that they are a selling club that will sell at any price is somewhat outdated. Perakh clarified that the club will sell if the price is right, but not just for the purpose of making a sale. The Lancashire Telegraph suggests a move to Ewood Park is seen as unlikely, given Rovers have already failed with their bids for Cleary.
