Andy Todd's agent says the Blackburn defender could "be
on his way out" of Ewood Park this summer - and 'hopes to stay' in
the Premier League.
The 32-year-old has a year left on his contract with Rovers, so
'won't go on a free' according to Peter Harrison.
But after talks with Ewood boss Mark Hughes, it has been made clear
that Todd can leave if a deal 'suits everyone concerned'.
Scottish giants Rangers were linked with the powerful centre-back
in January, while Bolton, Derby, Sunderland and Wigan are believed
to be monitoring his situation.
The Trotters need to fill the gap left by Tal Ben Haim's move to
Chelsea, while the Rams and Black Cats feel his top-flight
experience could prove crucial in their fight to become established
in the top tier.
Latics boss Chris Hutchings could see Todd as an ideal partner for
Titus Bramble - and would hope not having to relocate would appeal
to him.
Todd's agent Harrison told the BBC: "Andy has spoken with Mark
Hughes and, if the deal suits everyone concerned, he will be on his
way out.
"He won't go for free as there is a year left on his contract but a
couple of clubs are already interested."
He added: "I don't think there have been any concrete offers for
Andy as of yet but he isn't in the country at the moment.
"We'll see what happens over the next few days but I would
definitely expect developments within two weeks.
"Hopefully Andy will be staying in the Premier League, that would
be ideal, but there are some good clubs in the Championship
too.
"Rangers and a couple of Premier League clubs were keen on Andy in
January but Mark Hughes wanted to keep him to help the push for
Europe.
"Right now, Andy is at the stage where he needs to be playing
regular first-team football and hopefully we can sort that
out."
