BLACKBURN Rovers could be entitled to less than £700,000 in compensation if Junior Hoilett returns to Germany at the end of his Ewood contract.
Hoilett’s current Rovers deal expires at the end of June and the club have so far been unable to tie the Canadian to a new contract, even if they have not completely given up hope of persuading him to stay.
The 21-year-old has already been linked with the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle and Bolton but German giants Bayern Munich are the latest club to reportedly hold an interest and a move abroad could significantly affect any fee Rovers would receive for the forward.
Rovers would be entitled to compensation under the terms of the Bosman ruling because Hoilett is under the age of 23, but transfers between national associations are subject to different rules.
Should Hoilett join an English side a fee would be decided by tribunal if it cannot be agreed between the two clubs.
Rovers would at least push for something approaching the fee Manchester City received from Chelsea for Daniel Sturridge in similar circumstances in 2009 – an initial price of £3.5m rising to £6.5m.
Hoilett, though, could poten-tially be tempted by a move to Bayern – having previously had loan spells with German sides Paderborn and St Pauli.
His younger brother Jaineil currently plays in the country with Mainz, and FIFA regulations allow Hoilett to hold talks with overseas clubs before the end of the season.
Should he decide to move abroad, Rovers would receive a set fee based on FIFA’s pre-determined ‘training costs’.
If Rovers are classed as a top ‘category 1’ club, according to 2011 regulations they would receive 90,000 Euros for every season that they trained the player.
Hoilett has been with Rovers since moving from Canada at the age of 13, even if two of those years were spent on loan in Germany.
That would equate to as many as nine seasons and potentially 810,000 Euros – around £670,000 – although there is a possibility Rovers may receive much less than 90,000 Euros for each of Hoilett’s initial years at the club, when he was under the age of 15.
Hoilett’s international future has again made the headlines after Jamaica announced that they are making attempts to persuade him to play for them.
Hoilett has so far turned down call-ups from Canada and qualifies for Jamaica via his father.
Rovers were yesterday assessing the ankle ligament injury sustained by full back Jason Lowe in the 7-1 loss at Arsenal at the weekend, as they make preparations ahead of Saturday’s home game against QPR.
Michel Salgado has reportedly been in talks to link up with former Real Madrid team-mate David Beckham at LA Galaxy, with the Spaniard looking to find a new club after being made surplus to requirements at Ewood Park.

I see the more dim witted of you are blaming Kean for this. wake up!!!!! Hoilett and his dad have being playing you all year. Was there ever any intention of signing a new contract? I don't think so. If he goes to Bayern for £700k where do you think the balance of the "transfer fee" is going? In the familys back pocket! . Can anyone give me ONE reason why its in Hoiletts best interests to sign a new contract?

since spring 2011 pinocchio has been telling us that junior is about to put pen to paper in the next 24/48/within the next week* (*delete as applicable). in fact at the close of the summer 2011 window pinocchio actually told us that junior had signed the renewed contract.
.
whilst i agree with you there is no reason why it is in hoilett's best interest to sign a new contract (unless it is loads more moolah on a short term basis) the fact remains that pinocchio has strung everybody along again on another of his tourettes style lies - kean has this impulse to say the first thing that comes into his head (champions league, europa cup, top 10 finish, no way we going down, more money to spend than ever, ribero the new dennis irwin, formica the new batistuta, i get 500 letter of support every week and reply to them all....) and his comments about junior signing are another of thes inane ramblings (a bit like your "not bigger, just better garbage"). QED Kean is to blame for this. If there is nothing to say, dont say nowt! Yes, Junior's dad has given Kean the runaround - but Kean should not go jumping in there with a few inebriated quotes after a liquid lunch.

Hope this clears this up for you...now you go back to believing that everything Kilby and Flood do is marvellous.

its all relative but your club is being disassembled in exactly the same way as mine - but cos you are not in the prem, it is being done outside the gaxe of the national media - only thing is you don't know it. we are both in the brown stuff - its just the depth that varies.
.
only difference between dingles and rovers (apart from scale) is that you have a half decent manager who has a clue.

No.33 Ryan Nelson on the bench for Spurs last night obviously confirms his fitness and yet another pack of lies from Steve Kean. No wonder Samba wants out after being hoodwinked into signing an extended contract full of hollow promises from the Venkys. It's simply appalling that every supporter can see what's happening in front of their eyes, yet we are powerless to prevent such a degradation of duty. Fans will eventually turn their backs through no fault of their own and the damage will take years to repair. Shame on the memory of Jack Walker, the trustees should hang their heads.
