Blackburn’s priority at the moment is securing a place in the Championship – Tony Mowbray would then turn his attention, as he will regardless, to player contracts with that of Connor Mahoney one the Rovers boss would almost certainly want to extend if possible?
However, further interest in the Blackburn winger has been claimed on various online sources, which are credited to the Sun via the likes of Football League World.
Whatever happens to Blackburn, in the battle to avoid relegation into League 1, Mahoney could remain in the Championship as Sunderland, destined to be relegated from the Premier League, are ready to ‘swoop’ for the winger?
Mahoney’s current contract at Ewood Park expires at the end of the season but with no progress as yet on an improved deal he could have his pick of clubs when becoming a would-be free agent in the summer.
Blackburn will receive compensation for Mahoney, 20, should he leave with the Sun claiming £250,000 would be enough to take him to the Stadium of Light where Sunderland boss David Moyes a fan.
