Under Philippe Clement’s direction, Rangers are in a better place than they have been in a while, but a summer mini-overhaul is still necessary.
Six members of the squad are without contracts; all have played important roles for the team in the past, and it appears that decisions have been made regarding the majority of them.
With the additions made in January, Rangers appeared to be taking a different approach, and it appears that Philippe Clement is clearing the decks at Ibrox.
Philippe Clement made decisions about the Rangers contract?
Oscar Cortes, Mohamed Diomande, and Fabio Silva all instantly improved their technical proficiency.
They are athletic, dexterous, and capable of becoming better players.
The players without contracts, on the other hand, are nearing the end of their careers and are surrounded by uncertainty.
Only one of the six players whose contracts are about to expire, according to David Edgar, will have their contracts renewed, according to his remarks on Heart and Hand’s Daily Update on Tuesday, April 2.
There is an evident profile that Borna Barisic, Leon Balogun, Ryan Jack, Kemar Roofe, Jon McLaughlin, and John Lundstram all share.
Barisic is rumored to be headed to Turkey, Balogun will turn 36 when the next season begins, Jack and Roofe are struggling to stay healthy, and McLaughlin, who was once the team’s best player, isn’t even getting on the bench anymore.
Edgar asserts that Lundstram is the most likely of the six to remain and actively participate in talks for a new agreement.
Rangers under Clement are moving in a new direction.
Philippe Clement voiced his surprise at Rangers’ current predicament shortly after arriving at the club:
“You want to bring in transfers who can have an impact on the field not only now but also in the future and be able to sell them for higher prices.”
“That is something the club has missed if you go back over the last few years.” Young prospects that you can groom and advance to a higher level than Glasgow Rangers are what you want.
It is a state of equilibrium. Players with contracts must be present. Having five players without contracts is an absurd situation, especially this season, as it means you are throwing away money.
“If the contract is terminated, they have lost all of their value.”
There seems to be a shift in direction with the January window.
While it is true that Cortes and Diomande are both technically on loan, it would be shocking if their respective option to purchase clauses were ignored.
The manager is also correct; we must stop holding onto players for extended periods of time and instead assemble a younger, more dynamic team.
particularly those who are unable to maintain their physical health or who earn large salaries but make no contribution.
