Rangers transfer reports look dead amid £6m Premier League transfer claim

Rangers transfer reports look dead amid £6m Premier League transfer claim

Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland’s January departure from Nottingham Forest is finally over, as the Premier League team turns their attention to Matz Sels.

This week, the City Ground club’s approach for the Rangers top player was rejected.

Jack Butland is seen as an essential part of the team’s title push.

The 30-year-old is without a doubt the Scottish player of the season; his play since relocating to Glasgow has even put Jack Butland

back in the conversation for England.

It is understandable why Rangers directed Nottingham Forest to depart when that inquiry came in,

and now Ross Wilson and Nuno Espírito Santo are looking towards France.

Nottingham Forest look at Jack Butland alternative

Nottingham Forest is reportedly considering a deal for Matz Sels, who might potentially fetch €7 million (£6 million),

according to Fabrizio Romano.

Currently playing in Ligue 1, Strasbourg, the 31-year-old Belgian goalkeeper is the team’s captain and first choice stopper.

This comes after Giovanni Reyna, a playmaker for Borussia Dortmund who is known to Rangers supporters because of his connections to former player and manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst, was added to Nottingham Forest.

With Nottingham Forest also linked to Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, the move will effectively end speculation surrounding Jack Butland.

Rangers goalkeeper currently indispensable

Rangers are making it obvious that they believe the goalkeeper is currently essential as they reject the idea of bringing in Jack Butland.

Since joining the team, the stopper has been a dependable player who nearly single-handedly maintained the team in the running for

the championship in the early going of the season.

After a spell on the Premier League bench, the stopper appears to be rediscovering his passion of the game,

and we may infer that he has no plans to leave Ibrox anytime soon.

Although the stopper is just in the first year of a four-year contract, it is obvious that the Rangers appreciate him,

and maybe there will be an opportunity to cash in later.

With a busy second half of the season looming, Rangers fans are content to enjoy

the goalkeeper while he is here for the time being.
