Blackburn could lose Hoilett for £675,000

Blackburn Rovers could lose winger Junior Hoilett for just £675,000 if the Canadian moves to Bayern Munich at the end of the season, according to The Mirror.

Hoilett, 21, looks certain to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.

If he moves to another Premier League side, Rovers could pick up £4m-£6m for the youngster because he is under the age of 23.

Foreign compensation rules differ to those in England, however, and they will be entitled to much less should he make the move to Germany.

Under FIFA's training-costs clause, Blackburn would be entitled to just £675,000 for a player who moved to the club at the age of 13.

Hoilett has made 77 appearances for Blackburn, scoring ten goals in the process.
