Kenny McLean transfer fee update emerges as Rangers plot swoop

Rangers and Sheffield United target Kenny McLean is unlikely to be sold on the cheap by Norwich City, according to the Daily Record.

The news outlet reported via their transfer blog on 14 July that as he's still on contract at the club, any deal is going to be an expensive one, contrary to claims made by Chris Jack on 7 July.

Sun journalist Alan Nixon reported on 14 July that the Blades have also entered the race for the 32-year-old Scotland midfielder.

Rangers must not shell out big money for Kenny McLean

Gers must avoid spending big money on McLean as at 32 years old, his age raises concerns about the longevity of his impact at Ibrox.

Investing a significant sum in a player who may have limited years left in his prime could hinder the club's long-term development.

The Ibrox outfit have to be prudent with their spending, especially considering the need to strengthen other areas of the squad.

Splashing a large amount on the Scotsman could limit their ability to address other crucial positions.

Instead, they should focus on more cost-effective alternatives that can provide a similar level of quality and experience.

This could involve scouting younger talents with high potential or exploring the loan market for experienced players.

If a loan deal for McLean is available, then by all means, it should be considered.
