It was retained by the inaugural IPL champions for 18 INR crore before the mega sale at 2025 auction, but is no longer interested in continuing with the team.
This led RR to seek options to separate from Sanju Samson via trade and now they are about to sign an agreement with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
According to the statements, RR told KKR the names of the players they want in exchange for Samson, and in the coming days, an agreement could be concluded between the two parties, but that will not imply Sunil Narine or Varun Chakravarthy leaving the Knight Riders.
“The Royals have sought a quality spinner, but the question of KKR Trading Sunil Narine or Varun Chakravarthy for Samson does not arise, said sources at the Telegraph,” said the report.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi or Ramadeep Singh even he exchanged with Samson
According to the same report, there is chances that the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) can exchange the young feeling of striker Angkrish Raghuvanshi or a versatile Ramadeep Singh explosive for the skipper of the Royals Rajasthan.
Indeed, RR seeks to build a solid intermediate order for the next season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), and if they are unable to obtain the players they wish, an agreement of all cases could be concluded.
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) experienced a bad release in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 when they finished in ninth position with only four victories in 14 games.
Things did not take place in the departments of strikers or bowling alike, the only positive point being the emergence of the 7 -year -old striker Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who set fire to fire and sealed his place in the XI of play as the first match.
Speaking of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), they also fought under Captain of Ajinkya Rahane and finished in eighth position, with only five victories.
The addition of Samson to their team could prove to change the game because they desperately need an Indian ticket office and perhaps a new leader. In addition, KKR is trying to core Kumar Sangakkara after having separated from Chandrakant Pandit.
Why has the RR-CSK agreement for Sanju Samson did not materialize?
Before KKR took part of the photo, it was reported that the Samson Skipper of the Royals Rajasthan (RR) would be exchanged at the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
The five-time champions have also shown interest in the Guichet-Bar goalkeeper, but were not ready to exchange people like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravi will Ravira Jadeja or Shivam Dube for Sanju Samson.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has never exchanged players with other franchises and this trend should continue.
