The Lancashire Telegraph can exclusively reveal details of negotiations that has led to uncertainty over whether he will be at Ewood Park before the summer transfer window shuts. Hyam is one of four first-team players out of contract at Rovers this summer. Lewis Travis, Sondre Tronstad and Ryan Hedges are the others with Adam Forshaw also signing up to a new one-year deal in the summer. The 29-year-old, who played every minute of Rovers' Championship season in 2024/25, has been offered a new two-year contract on the same terms as the deal he signed in 2021 when he arrived from Coventry City. READ MORE: Lewis Travis' Blackburn Rovers wish, contract stand-off and inside messy divorce That would extend his stay at Rovers until 2027, so a further 12 months on his current deal, which expires next summer. Hyam is not at the top of Rovers' wage list but, equally, as a senior player, is not at the bottom either. After three successful seasons at Blackburn, the deal on offer is not one that is likely to be signed at the time of writing. Sources have reiterated to the LT that Hyam is happy at Rovers and has no interest in leaving the club this summer. If Blackburn want to move in a different direction, he is happy to see out the final year of his deal or sign a new deal if the offer is improved. However, Rovers are open to a sale if the defender is unwilling to commit his future. Club sources claim that there were indications that this level of contract would be accepted. That is disputed by sources close to the player. Blackburn do not want to risk losing any more players on free transfers after Tyrhys Dolan's exit. As a result, Hyam's future is up in the air and it's possible he could leave the club this month if an acceptable offer arrives. At the time of writing, The LT is not aware of any formal offers to the club or player from rival teams. He remains a key player for Valerien Ismael and despite this stand-off, there is no suggestion he won't continue to be involved. Rovers have also verbally communicated that they're open to discussions with Ryan Hedges but no formal contract offer has been tabled. The club opened talks with the Welshman last December but nothing materialised with a change of head coach, a chaotic end to the season and Chief Executive Steve Waggott leaving. In the last month, Rovers have again intimated a willingness to resolve his expiring contract but the structure of their proposal has been unclear and no agreement is close.

Just!

Callum leaves. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/august/04/callum-completes-middlesbrough-move/

Any reason Garrett hasn't been involved in pre season for the first team? Could he be off again?

From Nixon in The Sun

So we have 2 matches whilst we are in Spain, (opposition still unknown), and 2 fixtures announced back here, surely there should be more, and announced by now?

Nixon thinks he will take a new role at Rovers and not necessarily leave.

Waggott GONE!

Well done everybody.

Can you please leave Venky's !!! We just want some normality back with our club.

I would imagine the pricing hasn't been signed off yet! That appears to always be the problem!

Latest from Nixon.

Looks like Ismael to be appointed imminently

This is Nixon’s article.

Sherwood anyone?

I have a feeling Lowe will get it for the season.

I do wonder if he had a clause in his contract, that if he played anymore games, we would have to offer a longer contract.

I was sure they came out before and said they have a plan if the manager leaves. So this should be a quick and right appointment surely!

Get Dalglish until the end of the season!! Helped by Graeme Souness.

The bookies would respond to any bets, and I wouldn't imagine many bets have been placed. So a shift would be quite normal until more bets are made. With only one bookmaker offering odds. I don't think it will be Carsley.

If he was set on Derby, how come it hasn't been announced yet? Surely he would have agreed terms etc by now.
