Alex Rae believes Rangers should sell one of their prized assets to fund a Gio van Bronckhorst transfer splurge. The former Ibrox midfielder expects at least one of Joe Aribo, Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelo s to go this summer, with a year left on their current deals.
Aribo has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, with the likes of Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest showing an interest. Rae doesn’t expect all three to leave Govan. But he says for Dutch boss van Bronckhorst to be able to bring in his own players and freshen up the Gers squad, the club’s player trading model must kick into gear.
The Reading assistant boss said: “The club finds itself at a crossroads in relation to these players’ contracts. They have three of good value going into their last year and if they’re not going to re-sign, you might want to cash in. That would allow them to re-invest. It would be the first time in a few years where Rangers could then look at a different type of player, as opposed to free transfers.
