Rangers have been handed an unexpected transfer window boost and are set to receive a ‘six-figure’ windfall just days after Philippe Clement admitted the club must sell to buy.
Following the Gers’ pre-season defeat to Ajax at the weekend, the Belgian boss made a stark admission on the club’s summer transfer business, revealing the ‘reality’ of the club’s situation is players must leave before any more arrive as he looks to mount a serious title charge next season.
“That’s the reality that the board told me a few months ago,” said Clement. “I know this, the recruitment team knows this also. This is the reality of the club. I had other expectations when I came in in October, I have to say. But I know the reality now. I am very motivated to build the club and help in that.”
However, the 50-year-old head coach has now been handed a surprise transfer boost after ex-Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara completed a reported £8.6 million move to Ligue 1 outfit Rennes just a year after departing Ibrox to move to Leeds United. Reports state the the 28-year-old’s departure from Elland Road will see the Light Blues benefit financially after it emerged they had inserted a sell-on clause into the deal that took Kamara to the EFL Championship last summer.
Conway formed part of Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad for Euro 2024 and has been linked to both Rangers and Celtic in recent months, with the player available to approached for a pre-contract agreement this coming January.
However, a move could happen much sooner than that after the report stating Bristol City feel they have ‘had their hand forced’ and are ‘open to offers’ for the player. It adds Conway ‘will have to be sold in this window’ as the club do not intend to allow the player to leave for free.
