Four Rangers first-team players are reportedly nearing Ibrox transfer exits this summer.
Oscar Cortes returned on loan with an obligation to buy, Liam Kelly was signed as a free agent, Connor Barron joined from Aberdeen, Hamza Igamane bolstered the attacking options while defenders Jefte and Clinton Nsiala committed their futures to the club.
However, Clement’s major rebuild this summer could also see a host of players depart Ibrox with reports that exits for a handful of players are nearing.
Hagi, 25, is thought to have no future at Ibrox with reports in Romania claiming the playmaker will join Fiorentina in a £3m transfer switch.
Goldson is thought to be undergoing a medical in Cyprus ahead of a proposed switch to Aris Limassol, following transfer interest from Birmingham City.
Club captain Tavernier – who has not played during pre-season – has been heavily touted for a move to Trabzonspor but reports suggest a deal is not yet in place with Rangers wanting £1m more than what has been offered for the full-back.
Meanwhile, Rangers are said to be open to listening to transfer offers for Cantwell with “a number of English clubs” ready to table offers for the midfielder.
“That’s the reality,” Clement says when asked if his transfer plans were dependent on players leaving this summer. “That’s the reality that the board told me a few months ago.
“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.
