The Rangers need to focus on recovering as much money as possible for Sam Lammers when the summer transfer window opens.
The disastrous acquisition was only at Ibrox for seven months before being loaned to Utrecht of the Eredivisie, where he is obviously having fun.
Lammers has made it clear in multiple interviews that he is ready to part ways with the Rangers, and at this point, the sentiment is undoubtedly shared.
According to the Daily Record [26 March], Lammers stated, “It seems clear to me that I enjoy it here,” while appearing on the Dutch TV programme Cafe Galgenwaard.
Yes, I am in the proper place. It is important to me to have the supporters. It truly pleases me to see that gratitude.
Since joining Utrecht in January, Lammers has made ten appearances in the Dutch top flight, contributing three assists and three goals. It makes sense that he feels valued.
That is more like the form of a player who the Gers paid about £3.5 million for than the player who made just one assist and scored twice in 31 games for the team.
Although it would be simple to assume that Lammers will have a spot at Ibrox for the upcoming season given his improved play, that is not the case.
How long does Sam Lammers have a Rangers contract?
The 26-year-old, whose contract at Ibrox expires in2027, didn’t make it through his audition, and his value will only decline after this summer.
It’s possible that Rangers will receive their full transfer fee back, and Utrecht would be just as keen to close a deal as Lammers.
Sam Lammers’ time with the Rangers did not start well in the first half of the season.
That might be wishful thinking, but when the summer window opens, it is obvious that the first thing to do should be to get Lammers off the books.
The funds raised can then be used to sign a player who will be able to add strength to the starting lineup in time for the 2024–25 season.
And these bust acquisitions ought to be rare as Philippe Clement, not Michael Beale, is now leading the team.
