Blackburn Rovers are being linked with a move for Montpellier right-back Enzo Tchato, the Cameroon‑French defender currently valued at €2.50m and plying his trade in France’s Ligue 2.
The 23-year-old, born in Montpellier on 23 November 2002, is reportedly on Blackburn’s radar as they assess options at full-back ahead of the new Championship campaign. Transfermarkt lists no fixed contract expiry date for Tchato at Montpellier, fuelling suggestions that his deal could be running down and that he may become available at a reduced fee or even move on as a free agent in the near future.
The latest rumour, dated 10 June 2026, carries an unspecified probability (“?”), underlining that talks are at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation. Montpellier, now competing in Ligue 2, could still face a decision over whether to cash in on the defender or risk losing him for nothing if his contract situation is not resolved.
Standing at 1.82m and predominantly right-footed, Tchato’s main position is at right-back, though he is broadly listed as a defender. A product of Montpellier and now wearing the No 29 shirt, he has represented both Cameroon and France at youth level through his dual nationality, adding international pedigree to his profile.
Recent domestic appearances for Montpellier in Ligue 2 have highlighted his energy on the flank and defensive reliability, with his performances monitored by clubs seeking value in the market. However, there is no indication yet of an agreed fee, personal terms, or concrete bid from Ewood Park.
With his future at Montpellier unclear and his market value relatively modest, a move to Blackburn – if it materialises – could provide Tchato with a platform in the Championship to elevate his reputation and shape the next decisive phase of his career.
