Rangers missed out on a cash windfall when Glen Kamara’s Leeds United failed to secure promotion to the English Premier League. However, there is still a possibility for the Ibrox club to benefit financially from the Finnish midfielder. A clause in Kamara’s deal with Leeds stipulated that Rangers would receive a £500,000 payment if the Yorkshire team made it back to the top flight.
Reports from France suggest that Ligue 1 side Rennes is interested in acquiring Kamara, which could result in Rangers cashing in on a sell-on clause that was included in the player’s transfer. Rennes is in need of a midfielder due to the potential departure of Enzo Le Fee to Roma and the loan move of Fabian Rieder to Stuttgart.
Despite speculation surrounding Kamara’s future, former Rangers teammate Connor Goldson is reportedly attracting interest from Birmingham City in England. Goldson, who hails from Wolverhampton, could be enticed by the opportunity to return to his roots and join Birmingham City, managed by ex-Celtic assistant boss Chris Davies. Birmingham City is aiming to secure promotion back to the English Championship after being relegated to League One last season. Davies sees Goldson as a valuable addition to the team due to his experience and the defender still has two years remaining on his contract with Rangers.
The potential transfer moves involving Kamara and Goldson could have significant financial implications for Rangers. While Kamara has been linked with a move to France in the past, a move to Rennes could materialize, providing Rangers with a financial boost. On the other hand, Goldson’s potential transfer to Birmingham City could also benefit Rangers financially if a deal is reached. The developments surrounding these two players highlight the intricate nature of football transfers and the financial considerations involved for clubs like Rangers. As the transfer window progresses, it will be interesting to see how these potential moves unfold and the impact they have on Rangers’ finances.
