Todd Cantwell and Ryan Alebiosu's wages have been revealed, with the pair being linked with a move away from Ewood Park this summer.
Blackburn Rovers will be looking for a much-improved season next term, after what was a disappointing league campaign during the 2025/26 season.
The Lancashire-based side finished 20th in the Championship table, and just five points clear of the relegation zone, which will make for concerning viewing for the Ewood Park faithful.
The 2026/27 season will be Blackburn's ninth consecutive year in the second-tier, having gained promotion from League One in the 2017/18 campaign.
The days of playing Premier League football will feel like a distant memory to plenty of the club's supporters, with Rovers not featuring in the top-flight since the 2011/12 season.
There's been a lot of frustration from the Blackburn fanbase with the club's off-field structure, and it'll be interesting to see what the summer holds when it comes to potential incomings and outgoings.
Two players that have been linked with a move away from Ewood Park in recent months are Todd Cantwell and Ryan Alebiosu, although it remains to be seen as to what Rovers' valuation of both players currently is.

Todd Cantwell has been on the books with Blackburn since 2024, having previously played for Rangers and Norwich City earlier in his professional career.
The midfielder has gone on to make 29 appearances in all competitions for Rovers this past season, and chipped in with five goals and three assists.
It was previously reported by Football Insider that Blackburn were willing to listen to offers for Cantwell, who is heading into the final year of his contract, as they look to raise funds and balance the books.
According to Capology, Cantwell is on an estimated wage of £30,000-per week, which is double that of the second-highest earners at Blackburn heading into the 2026/27 campaign.
Therefore, if Blackburn are looking to save money, then it would be a no-brainer for them to move Cantwell on this summer, even though he's a valuable player to have for them in terms of quality.
He'd leave a sizeable void in their midfield, and his creative spark would be difficult to replace, and so it's crucial that Rovers found an adequate replacement if they were to cash-in on him.

Another player that has seemingly caught the eye for all the right reasons this season is Ryan Alebiosu, who has been a regular in the Rovers team this term.
Blackburn had previously rejected a bid in the region of £4.3million from Italian side, Genoa in the January transfer window, with Everton, Wolfsburg and Sassuolo also linked, but it seems as though they could accept a lower offer nowadays, with their stance on keeping him changing in recent months.
Capology reports that Alebiosu is on an estimated wage of £7,500 per-week after last summer's move from Belgian side Kortrijk, which isn't anywhere near the level that Cantwell is on, but considering the significant interest in Alebiosu, he could likely get a significant rise elsewhere.
Rovers can likely get a lot more than what Genoa offered for their number two, who has filled Callum Brittain's shoes pretty well, and especially as they have at least two years remaining on his deal.
As evidenced over the years though, the Venky's are prone to cashing in on a star for Blackburn to somewhat offset their yearly losses, with players such as Sammie Szmodics, Adam Armstrong and Adam Wharton all moving on for profits - could Alebiosu be next?
