Karlan Grant, who is currently on loan at West Brom, may be on the fast track to leaving the club for good following his recent remarks. Grant, who had a disappointing season with West Brom, where he scored only three goals in 31 appearances, joined another Championship side on a season-long loan. Despite still being under contract with West Brom until 2026, Grant has expressed that he hasn’t had any communication with manager Carlos Corberan or the club. He stated that he is solely focused on enjoying his time with the Bluebirds and emphasized his desire to play regularly and prove himself. When asked about the possibility of staying at Cardiff beyond his loan, Grant remained non-committal.
With West Brom facing a shortage of options up front due to injuries, it may be difficult to criticize the decision to let Grant go. Given his struggles to secure a place in the West Brom team last season, his departure this summer was almost inevitable, and it has benefited Cardiff City.
However, Grant has only managed one goal and two assists in his 14 appearances this season, which suggests that West Brom’s decision to part ways with him was justified. The club was also motivated by the need to reduce costs, with Cardiff reportedly covering the majority of Grant’s substantial wages. Keeping an unhappy player who was not part of Corberan’s plans would have been wasteful, especially considering the club’s challenging financial situation.
The fact that there has been no communication between West Brom and Grant since his loan move indicates that his future at the club is in doubt, and it would likely be in the best interest of both parties to part ways sooner rather than later. If offers emerge, Corberan may decide to make Grant’s departure permanent in January.
