Rangers set for imminent £3m transfer boost amid relentless Lawrence Shankland links

Fans may hope that the trade helps the team’s hopes for Lawrence Shankland as Rangers prepare to receive a

financial boost from the sale of Ridvan Yilmaz to Verona.

The left-back might cost the Italians approximately £3 million, according to claims circulating throughout Scotland

that purport to be from Italian sources.

This number was mentioned by seasoned sportswriter Chris Jack in a Rangers Review conversation, when he

acknowledged

However, should the trade proceed, the Ibrox club is not have to use the money right away to acquire a replacement

left-back alternative.

Yilmaz Ridvan A Verona switch will help the Rangers

Rangers aren’t exactly under pressure to spend big money on a Yilmaz replacement, since Croatian international

Borna Barisic remains their first choice at left back.

While the team will need to add a new left-back option, it would seem more sensible to make inexpensive trades for

players who are nearing the end of their contracts, such as Kai Wagner or Gijs Smal.

To strengthen the position even more would be a loan alternative, like taking young Fredrik Oppegard from PSV

Eindhoven for the six months leading up to summer.
