Rangers begin transfer talks ahead of chaotic window, Ibrox exodus on the cards
Rangers are set for a chaotic transfer window in what will be Philippe Clement’s first summer in charge of the club, according to the Scottish Sun.
The newspaper reported via its website on 25 April that plans are in place for incomings but there could also be an exodus.
That comes after the likes of James Tavernier and Connor Goldson are strongly linked with the exit door while Kemar Roofe, Borna Barisic, Leon Balogun and John Lundstram have their contracts expiring.
The report reads: “It’s set to be a chaotic window for Clement to get his team into shape for the start of next season but plans are already in place to bring reinforcements to Ibrox.
“Robertson has revealed talks are already underway with ‘active’ transfer targets as he gave a positive update to fans regarding recruitment.
“John Lundstram, Borna Barisic, Kemar Roofe and Leon Balogun are all out of contract at the end of the season and there’s been little update over their futures at Ibrox
“And reports this week suggested club stalwarts James Tavernier and Connor Goldson could also depart, with Steven Gerrard said to be interested in signing the pair for Al-Ettifaq.”
Rangers are set to be busy with incomings as well as outgoings
This proactive approach is crucial for the club’s success in the next season, given the potential departures of key players such as Tavernier and Goldson, while others like Lundstram, Barisic and Balogun, whose contracts are nearing their end.
Gers’ efforts to be on the front foot in the transfer market are commendable, as it allows them to identify and secure talent early, thus giving the team a better chance to integrate new players and build a cohesive strategy for the next season.
A decision already seems to have been made on Fabio Silva and that’s certainly a good thing to get out of the way.
This forward-looking approach also signals to fans the club’s commitment to strengthening the squad and maintaining competitiveness in the league.
Furthermore, the club’s consideration of the Euro 2024 in their transfer dealings is a wise move, as it acknowledges the potential impact of such events on player availability and market dynamics.
This level of foresight and strategic planning is essential for Rangers to maintain their position at the top of Scottish football and to compete effectively domestically as well as in Europe.
