Tomáš Rigo could leave Stoke City in January because his playing time was significantly reduced following significant changes to the club's midfield during the summer. The 24-year-old joined from Banik Ostrava for approximately £3.3 million last summer. He started the first game of the season with an assist but has subsequently played only 14 league minutes and has recently been omitted from matchday squads. It is suggested that Blackburn Rovers should consider acquiring the midfielder on loan, which would likely be their preferred route because of a lack of funds. The 16-capped Slovakian international's ability to play anywhere across the midfield would offer a versatile, low-risk option for manager Tony Mowbray. Cardiff City have also been mentioned as another Championship side that could be a potential destination for Rigo. His contract with Stoke City runs until June 2029, and his current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
