Ryan Kent signs Fenerbahce contract worth £1.5m per-year as Rangers exit imminent
Ryan Kent has signed a pre-contract agreement with Fenerbahce worth £1.5m per-year to confirm his Rangers exit, according to Fotomac (16 May).
The English winger is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to leave Ibrox having been left out of recent squads through injury.
Reports suggested that the Turkish club spoke to Ridvan Yilmaz and Kenny Miller to get a review on Kent and the club offered him a three-year contract with the option of a further year.
Now reports suggest that contract that was offered was signed on Monday (15 May), with Kent excited about moving to Istanbul.
See ya
Kent will go down as someone who had a great time at Ibrox but probably under-delivered considering the level of talent he has and the squad he was surrounded by.
The 26-year-old was a key member of the squad that won number 55 and won the Scottish Cup last year, and he was one of the best performers in the squad when we reached the Europa League final.
But this season Kent’s form has fallen off a cliff and considering the fact he clearly doesn’t want to be here anymore, the club have made the right decision to move him on.
Obviously Rangers have missed out on a lot of cash because he could easily have been a player that could have generated an eight-figure fee at one point in time.
But now he’s gone and while the fans won’t be sad to see him go, it’s still a shame that this played out the way that it did.
