Update on Tyrhys Dolan situation at Blackburn Rovers emerges amid Middlesbrough talk | OneFootball

The attacking midfielder is currently set to leave Ewood Park this summer.

Tyrhys Dolan is open to staying with Blackburn Rovers past the end of his current contract, but he is more likely to leave amid interest from Championship clubs, including Middlesbrough.

The stay or go saga of Dolan has spanned across the last two seasons now. Blackburn may have been in a situation in the previous term where, because of his contract status - he is set to become a free agent this summer - they may have cashed in on him early rather than risking losing him for free.

Deciding to hold onto the 23-year-old may well prove to be the correct decision. He contributed 13 goals and assists this season for Valerien Ismael's side, who almost snuck into the play-offs on the final day of the season. Now, though, Rovers are faced with the potential reality of losing this top talent and not getting anything in return for him.

Tyrhys Dolan's future developments emerge

According to The Lancashire Telegraph, Dolan is expected to make a decision on his future after going away on holiday with his family, which will allow him to assess the level of interest there is in him.

Michael Carrick's Boro are one of the teams that reportedly have the attacking midfielder on their list of summer targets.

However, the aforementioned outlet have stated that no official talks have been held between Dolan's camp and the Teesside outfit over a move. In fact, Dolan isn't said to be nearing any agreement on his future.

Football League World have exclusively reported that Carrick is under pressure at the Riverside Stadium and may well be sacked this summer, which could, in turn, affect any deal for Dolan.

Remaining with Blackburn is still an option for the player, though, but it feels like it is not the most likely of the options that will be presented to him this summer, according to The LT. Rovers know that they will have to wait for Dolan's decision, whatever it is.

Finding a Tyrhys Dolan replacement will be tough, but not impossible

It's not easy to find players who can offer the decent level of attacking output that the 23-year-old has over the past season, or even two seasons. 12 goals and 10 assists across 24 months isn't anything to be sniffed at, but it's certainly replicable.

In Yuki Ohashi, Blackburn have shown that they can scout players who can do a similar job to Dolan, albeit on the other side of the pitch.
