International midfielder who turned down Peterborough United finds new Championship club
Sam Morsy has signed for Championship side Blackburn Rovers after rejecting Peterborough United.
Last month, owner Darragh MacAnthony revealed that Posh had offered a contract to the 34-year-old Egyptian international but that the offer was refused.
Posh had offered a two-year-deal to the former Ipswich skipper, who was a free agent after a brief spell at Bristol City.
Morsy’s name came up when MacAnthony was chatting with Posh fans on X regarding transfer targets. He said: “Offered him via his agent a good 2 year deal 6 weeks ago. Was a firm ‘no’. That’s football. I can only try.”
Morsy has now signed a one-year deal at Blackburn.
Posh are still chasing an Archie Collins replacement after he left in the summer. Incidentally, Collins is still without a club.
