What's happening with Montgomery's contract?

The midfielder's current deal is set to expire in a year, and the club is keen to secure his long-term future.

Why is this important for Blackburn Rovers?

As the team currently sits 20th in the Championship with 52 points from 46 games, recent form LWDLD, and 43 points behind leaders Coventry, they need to retain key players like Montgomery to improve their standings.

What comes next for Montgomery and Blackburn Rovers?

The outcome of these talks will be crucial in determining the midfielder's future at the club. With 42 goals scored and 56 conceded this season, Blackburn Rovers need to strengthen their squad to compete in the Championship.

As of now, Blackburn Rovers are focused on extending Montgomery's contract, and the talks are ongoing.
