Report shares how much Leeds must pay to trigger exit of Rangers star
According to Football Insider, Rangers attacking midfielder Ryan Kent has a £20 million release clause in his contract that obliges them to sell, and it’s the sum that is required to trigger his exit. Leeds United have had a bid worth up to £10 million including add-ons knocked back by the Light Blues for the former Liverpool man, and they will need to double that offer to guarantee signing Kent. Rangers inserted the clause in the contract the 23-year-old signed upon joining them permanently from the Premier League giants for £7 million last summer, and it remains to be seen if Leeds will be keen to activate it. Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa remains a huge fan of Kent after his side monitored him closely last year as they sought Premier League promotion. While they ended up with Arsenal...
‘I’ve been told by sources’ – Club legend hints Celtic could move for Leeds United player
Celtic are reportedly interested in signing the Leeds United defender Barry Douglas this summer. According to Celtic legend Frank McAvennie, the Scottish champions are keen on signing the 31-year-old before the transfer window closes. McAvennie said to Football Insider: “I’ve been told by sources about the boy at Leeds, Barry Douglas. Maybe something is happening with that in the background, I do not know. I do not know what the situation is but I have heard that he is a really good player.” Douglas is in the final nine months of his contract and Leeds could look to cash in on him this summer. He’s not at the club and therefore the chance to join Celtic could be tempting for him. The Hoops need to bring in a quality left-back and the 31-year-old should prove to be a useful o...
Report: Gerrard looking to bring 20-goal attacker to Rangers this summer
Rangers have been linked with a move for the Rapid Wien striker Taxiarchis Fountas. The Scottish giants already have the likes of Roofe and Morelos at their disposal and it would be surprising to see them bring in another player unless there is a sale on the cards. Rangers have Itten and Defoe as their back up options as well. Morelos has been linked with a move away from Ibrox this summer and it will be interesting to see if Gerrard can hold on to this key player. The Colombian is the best player at the club and he is one of the best strikers in the league. Losing him would be a major blow for the club. Fountas has done well for Rapid Wien in the recent months and he could prove to be a useful signing for Rangers. He managed to score 20 goals last season and he picked up seven assist...
‘Bombscare’, ‘Useless’, ‘Needs dropped’ – Some Rangers fans tear into 27-yr-old after 2-2 draw
Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw against Hibernian earlier today. The Scottish giants will be disappointed with their performance in a game they should have won. Drey Wright did well to give the home side the lead on the 22nd minute but Alfredo Morelos scored the equaliser halfway through the game. Scott Arfield’s 57th-minute goal seemed like it could be the winner but a poor defensive showing allowed Hibernian to draw level on the 71st minute. Gerrard will be demanding more from his players in the coming weeks. Rangers have been solid at the back so far this season but today’s display at the back was below par and the player will be expected to bounce back with a good result in their next game. Connor Goldson put in a mediocre display at the back and the fans seem quite disappointed with h...
Report: Celtic could return for 27-yr-old, they have tried to sign him previously
Celtic have been linked with a move for the Sampdoria defender Omar Colley this summer. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), the Scottish champions could return for the centre back with an offer soon. Kristoffer Ajer has been linked with a move away from Celtic this summer and if the Norwegian defender decides to move on, Colley could be a decent replacement. According to reports, Celtic tabled an offer of around €10-12 million for the defender previously but Sampdoria were not keen on selling the 27-year-old for that amount. It will be interesting to see if Celtic can agree on a deal with the Italian outfit for Colley. The Hoops have already signed Shane Duffy from Brighton to improve their defence and Colley could prove to be another wise investment. Celtic have done well in the leag...

The Hoops are aiming for their tenth title in a row and they will have to improve at the back if they want to win the title this year.

Phil Hay: Bielsa hasn’t approved move for player Orta’s keen on, prefers Rangers star
Leeds United have been linked with Liverpool midfielder Harry Wilson this summer, but it appears that they have moved on and are now looking to sign Udinese midfielder Rodrigo de Paul instead. The Athletic’s David Ornstein recently reported that Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa doesn’t see the Reds academy graduate as the right player for his style of play, and that rules out a move for him. Leeds insider Phil Hay has now revealed that while director of football Victor Orta is always hugely keen on Wilson, Bielsa hasn’t sanctioned a move for him yet, and he prefers Rangers forward Ryan Kent instead. “Leeds like De Paul but you’ll have noticed that since the name first emerged, they haven’t piled in to get a deal done. They’ve been holding off and likewise with Gvardiol. The money is there ...
