Journalist Chris Jack has claimed that Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara could depart the club in the summer after January interest.
Kamara has been a mainstay in the Rangers side over the past few seasons, and this term, has featured 28 times whilst scoring three goals and also contributing with three assists, according to Transfermarkt.
The Finland international played a key role in the Gers’ Scottish Premiership title-winning campaign last term, playing 28 times under former boss Steven Gerrard.
There was January interest over the 26-year-old, with the main club concerned being Aston Villa, where his former manager Gerrard is now in the dugout.
Jack spoke to GIVEMESPORT and identified that Kamara may still leave Rangers in the summer, despite the length of his current contract.
“If, somehow, they can convince them to do a Glen Kamara and commit for another couple of years, that’s money in the bank. There’s every chance that Kamara will be sold in the summer. Because of his contract situation, Rangers will, obviously, naturally get a higher fee for him.”
Huge blow for Giovanni van Bronckhorst
Glen Kamara has been key for Rangers this season, as they look to push for back-to-back SPFL titles. He has an average successful passing rate of 91% per game, and successfully dribbles past his opposition on average 70% per game, as per Sofascore.
At just 26-years-old, Van Bronckhorst should have him heavily involved in his plans as he looks to build a squad, so losing him in the summer would be a huge blow for the Dutch manager.
Chance for youngster
If Kamara does depart from the Ibrox in the summer, then it will leave a midfield spot open, and van Bronckhorst maybe not be keen on breaking the bank for a new midfielder, so he may opt to the youth academy for his replacement.
If the Gers want to save millions in the transfer market, then turning to some of their younger players instead of potentially hedging their bets on a big-money gamble could be a shrewd move.
