Tom Lawrence Rangers transfer exit set in stone as ‘Ambitious’ bid readied
Tom Lawrence appears to be heading towards the exit door at Rangers in the summer transfer window.
The Wales international’s contract at Ibrox runs out at the end of the season.
Thus far, no decision has been made about offering him a new deal, as clubs are keen on securing his services.
Wrexham ready “ambitious” move to sign Lawrence
Despite the 31-year-old being absent for a large chunk of the season due to injury, he has made notable appearances recently.
He also scored the winning penalty in the shootout against Fenerbahce to ensure Gers qualified for the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
The Welshman also scored and provided an assist in the 4-3 victory over Dundee.

It’s understood that Wrexham, owned by celebrity Ryan Reynolds, whose net worth is north of £300million, are ready to make an “ambitious” move to sign Lawrence, per the Mail.
The Welsh club want to continue their meteoric rise and make it to the Championship and want to sign the 31-year-old.
Lawrence is born in Wrexham and the English club can secure his services on a free transfer.
Rangers cannot make the same mistakes in the San Francisco 49ers era
Under the 49ers Enterprises regime, Rangers must avoid repeating the mistake of letting in-demand players like Lawrence leave on free transfers, as this squanders financial opportunities and weakens squad planning.
The 31-year-old Welsh international appears set to depart Ibrox for free in the summer of 2025, with Wrexham eyeing an ambitious move for him.
Along with him, numerous clubs in the United Kingdom and Europe are also keen on securing his services.
To prevent such losses, the 49ers must implement a proactive contract management strategy, identifying key players early and negotiating extensions well before their deals near expiration, ideally 18 months out.
For players unlikely to renew, like Lawrence, they should actively market them in the transfer window, even for a modest fee of £2-3million, to reinvest in the squad.
Additionally, leveraging their American investment network, the 49ers can scout and attract talent to replace outgoing players, ensuring Gers remain competitive while maintaining financial discipline in the Scottish Premiership.
