Glen Kamara to quit Rangers as Borussia Monchengladbach make him ‘Key’ target, £5.5m deal on cards
Glen Kamara has emerged as a “key target” for Borussia Monchengladbach as he edges closer to a Rangers exit, according to GGFN.
Writing on their official website (3 August), the news outlet report that the Finland international has been identified by the Bundesliga club as a possible signing to bolster their defensive midfield options.
Kamara is currently training alone and will not play in the opening SPFL game of the season against Kilmarnock, with Rangers looking for around £5.5m to let him leave the club.
“As reported via FT, Rangers midfielder Glen Karama is considered to be a key target for Borussia Mönchengladbach,” they wrote.
“Due to a number of key players departing the Foals earlier on in the summer window, sporting director Roland Virkus has been working hard to rebuild his depleted side.
“Now with an eye on adding depth to defensive midfield, Gladbach have identified Glen Kamara as a possible signing.”
Time up
It seems like this situation will be far better everyone once it’s all done and dusted, so everyone should be working towards Kamara’s exit.
He was signed for an absolute bargain and has been a great servant at Ibrox in recent years, but it’s now clear that his time at the club is up and he isn’t in Michael Beale’s plans going forward.
There is plenty of interest and for a player of his experience, age and quality £5.5m is certainly a fair price, but it seems that it could be a bit of a stumbling block for the interested clubs.
It will come down to some sort of compromise being found seemingly, either with the player dropping his wage demands at his new club to get a deal over the line or Rangers taking a bit less money.
Either way he won’t be here come the end of the window, and Borussia looks like a steady step for him to continue his career in a top-five league with a team that have aspirations of playing European football.
