Blackburn Rovers' goalkeeper Balazs Toth's future is uncertain heading into Deadline Day, according to a new report.

The 28-year-old Hungarian has refused a new deal at Ewood Park, despite being under contract until 2027. Now, Celtic have "revived" their interest after previously cooling it.

Per the Lancashire Telegraph, Blackburn, keen to avoid losing Toth for nothing, are open to a sale, but Celtic haven't met their valuation.

Reports on Monday suggested that Toth was frustrated in training and would miss the Lincoln City match. However, the report, close to the situation, has dismissed these claims, stating the goalkeeper is expected to travel with the squad.

Selection for the Lincoln game depends on any transfer developments, with Aynsley Pears also in contention.

Throughout the speculation, Toth's conduct has been praised internally, with the keeper reportedly relaxed about either fulfilling his contract at Ewood Park or leaving this summer if a fee is agreed.

Former Blackburn Rovers boss Tony Mowbray has advised the club to cash in on Toth amid the ongoing speculation.

Blackburn are keen to avoid losing the 28-year-old for nothing, given his contract refusal and interest from Celtic.
