Rangers, currently leading the Scottish Premiership and finally holding the title picture, could be in a great position to bolster Philippe Clement’s team come summertime. Conversely, it’s said that Ibrox chiefs could sell one of the greatest players on the Gers.
News about Rangers transfers
Rangers are expected to lose a number of players at the conclusion of the season, despite the fact that the title chase has taken up all of the attention on the pitch. At this moment, Leon Balogun, Ryan Jack, Borna Barisic, John McLaughlin, John Lundstram, and Kemar Roofe are all scheduled to leave. And while there’s still a lot of hope for Lundstram to sign a new contract, there are still players who seem certain to depart Ibrox at the end of the current campaign.
With those expected departures, Clement will have a difficult challenge in the summer to make sure his team contends for the Scottish Premiership in his first full season as manager. Despite the winger’s impressive loan spell, reports indicate that the permanent appointment of Oscar Cortes could at least help the former AS Monaco manager.
Nevertheless, it is still possible that important player Jack Butland will be sold. Rangers have a “number in mind” to trade Butland this summer, according to Chris Jack of Rangers Review, despite their prior eagerness to cling onto the custodian when clubs approached them in January.
He’s invaluable to the Rangers, Jack said to Rangers Review. I checked it out with the club as soon as Forest’s interest became apparent early in the transfer window, and it was simply not happening. There was not a chance.
“In the end, money talks. Even if he has proven to be a valuable member of the team and an exceptional player, this does not guarantee that he will stay. Rangers will eventually have a certain number in mind. Currently, there isn’t a player up for sale. Money can go a long way if you can bring someone in on a Bosman and then let him go for roughly £15–20 million a year later.
The Rangers ought to retain “priceless” Butland.
The last thing Rangers should be doing if they win the Scottish Premiership this year is demolishing Clement’s team. If anything, they should build on this championship rather than use it as an excuse to retreat. The Gers should make every effort to hold onto their shot-stopper since Butland is now more crucial to that than ever thanks to his recent play.
The former Stoke City player may possibly be in line for his first England call-up since September 2018, according to reports.
Butland may attract interest once more come summer transfer market time, but Rangers will need to stave off that interest in order to hold onto one of their best players.
