According to reports, Rangers will demand £15 million to allow one of their players to leave Ibrox this summer. It has been revealed that the player is eager to leave.
Rangers are planning for the summer.
Rangers have been busy planning for the summer, concentrating initially on the new players. The target, Gjis Smal, is expected to sign a free transfer with Feyenoord, but they still need to find a left-back before the new season begins.

Not good news for one of the intriguing new recruits for the Gers…
Instead, it seems that the leaders of the Scottish Premiership are trying to finalize a deal for Brazilian left-back Jefte, hoping to take Borna Barisic’s place at Ibrox when he soon becomes a free agent. Just a year after his arrival, there might be an unexpected exit from Glasgow this summer.
Update on Jack Butland’s move
Shot stopper Jack Butland, who has been fantastic for Rangers this season and has contributed to their enormous 17 clean sheet total since joining on a free transfer last summer, could be the source of that surprise.
But as was previously mentioned last week, the 31-year-old is planning a comeback to the Premier League and hopes to rejoin the England team, two things he believes are connected. Despite intense rumors that he was included in the March international team, Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate passed him over in favor of Sam Johnstone.
“I’m not just saying this because he’s the Rangers goalkeeper; I couldn’t believe it when I watched the announcement. To be honest, I have no idea what to say. Yes, the keepers who were chosen in front of him are excellent keepers. Are they superior to Jack Butland, though? Not in my opinion.
“I would be disappointed if I were him. If that happened, I would be upset. However, he will utilize the remaining games of the season to go out and prove to everyone how wonderful of a goalie he is if he is feeling irate, frustrated, or disillusioned.
Although he didn’t make the squad, there is still a remote chance that he will travel to Germany, and that was a bad decision. But for now, all Jack can do is carry on with his game as he has since arriving here. Nothing else is in his power. And ever since he arrived, he has been the Rangers’ man mountain in the back.
According to writer Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider, Rangers would permit a departure as long as a potential suitor offered £15 million for the 31-year-old goalkeeper, which would be the second-highest sale in the team’s history.
They go on to say that the Ibrox team “will not deny Butland a move” as long as their asking price is reached since they “aware that they will not be able to compete with the wages that can be offered by a top-flight English side.”
Despite losing a fantastic player in goal, it may mean a huge profit for the keeper and offer much-needed finances to strengthen the team as a whole.
