Wrexham, Middlesbrough and Derby County plotting moves for Blackburn Rovers star | OneFootball

Wrexham, Middlesbrough and Derby County are all keen on the Blackburn Rovers full-back

Wrexham, Middlesbrough and Derby County are all interested in a move for Blackburn Rovers right-back Callum Brittain.

The trio are all ramping up preparations for the 2025/26 Championship campaign and are eyeing up a transfer for the 27-year-old defender.

Brittain has been a key player for the East Lancashire outfit since making the switch to Ewood Park from Barnsley in the summer of 2022.

Wrexham, Middlesbrough and Derby County interested in transfer for Callum Brittain

A number of players have exited Ewood Park in the early stages of the summer window and multiple others have been linked with a move away from Rovers.

According to Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph via X, Brittain could be the next operator to leave Blackburn, with Wrexham, Middlesbrough and Derby County all keen on a transfer.

The 27-year-old is in the last year of his deal with Valerien Ismael’s side and has previously been linked with the Rams earlier this window.

Rovers aren’t looking to sell the player, but given his precarious contract situation Brittain could still leave.

The full-back played 33 times for Blackburn next term and performed at a consistently high level, which has brought forward interest from the trio of Championship clubs.

Brittain began his career with MK Dons, running out over 120 times for the club before moving to Barnsley.

Ewood Park has become increasingly deserted during the early stages of this window, with Andreas Weimann, Danny Batth and Tyrhys Dolan all notable departures.

Football League World exclusively revealed that captain Lewis Travis is on Derby County’s wish list, the same destination that Weimann and Batth have chosen.

Therefore, Brittain could be tempted to reunite with his former boss John Eustace and ex-teammates at Pride Park.

Wrexham obviously possess one of the most exciting projects in the EFL and have the draw of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s ambitious ownership that will no doubt compete towards the top of the Championship in years to come.

Middlesbrough are another club with Premier League ambitions and now have a manager who knows how to get promoted to the top-flight in Rob Edwards.

Whatever option appeals most to Brittain, he has three exciting projects to choose from which may be more tempting than remaining at Ewood Park.
