Kean to bid farewell to Salgado

Blackburn Rovers’ Michel Salgado looks set to leave the club in January with the defender seemingly surplus to requirements.

Salgado’s contract is due to expire in the summer and boss Steve Kean has confirmed that the defender will not be at Ewood Park for the 2012-13 campaign.

Furthermore, the Scot has confirmed that he will allow the former Real Madrid man to leave in the January transfer window if an opportunity arises for the 36-year-old.

“Michel won’t be here next season,” Kean said.

“If there is an opportunity for him to find another solution in this window that is something we would look at.”

“(It is) out of respect for the player to give him the heads up that this will be his last season.”
