Blackburn will listen to McCarthy offers

Blackburn Rovers are putting Benni McCarthy up for sale.

The Daily Mail says McCarthy's wish to quit Blackburn in January could be wrecked by Rovers demanding £3.5million for the 31-year-old.

South Africa striker McCarthy has made just four league appearances this season and Rovers manager Sam Allardyce said: "At his age I’d understand if he wants to play first-team football. At the moment, he can’t get it here.

"There is a price to be met if someone wants to buy Benni McCarthy. But we would have to have a replacement for him to allow it to develop."
