‘Very interesting’ Rangers transfer twist possible before window closes
The Fourth Official claims that the Rangers and Hearts transfer issue concerning Lawrence Shankland‘s acquisition could turn “very interesting.”
The writer posted a report on his website on Monday, January 8, indicating that Shankland, who the Rangers signed
in January, is still a possibility.
Last month, Hearts CEO Andrew McKinlay stated that the club is not under any need to sell the Scotland
international before the deadline of February 1.
“He’s scored 19 goals this season, even though Hearts said they don’t want to sell him,” the article stated.
There are now rumors that Hearts could reconsider if a strong deal is made.
The 4th Official has already covered this on their Patreon page, particularly in regards to Rangers’ interest in the forward. This might soon get rather fascinating.
Well worth the money
Shankland would surely boost the Rangers’ offensive line as soon as he signed a contract.
In order for that to occur, the Gers must convince Hearts to cash in rather than so much as cajole the player into joining.
The 28-year-old’s contract still has one more season left, so Hearts still holds the upper hand.
Nevertheless, they will only have one more chance to raise a substantial amount of money for Shankland this summer.
Although the exact amount Hearts are chasing is unknown, quotes ranging from £3.5 million to £5 million have been made.
One could argue that paying up is worthwhile even if the option chosen is the latter, which is a little pricey.
Ultimately, the team was only too eager to shell out a lot of money for summer acquisitions like Danilo and Cyriel Dessers.
The distinction in this transaction is that Shankland will get started right away because he has experience in the division.
If only one more deal is finalised this window, it surely has to be this one.
