Alfredo Morelos & Ryan Kent in fresh Rangers contract talks

Alfredo Morelos & Ryan Kent in fresh Rangers contract talks

CONTRACT talks are underway with the likes of Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent, Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has revealed.

The pair have entered the final 12-months of their current deals. 

The Gers stars will therefore be free agents by the summer of 2023 if they don't sign new deals or aren't sold prior to that point.

Joe Aribo is in that latter bracket, with his transfer to Southampton on the cusp of completion.

But van Bronckhorst revealed fresh talks with some of his key players have begun.

Asked about any developments in negotiations with Kent, Morelos and Calvin Bassey, the Dutchman told Sky Sports: "We are in talks especially with players who will come into the last year of their contracts.

"In the last year attention will come to your players but so far the interest we have in our players is not very high apart from Joe of course.

"But in football you never know you just have to wait and see what happens in the future.

"We are working hard with Ross Wilson to make sure we are ready and making sure we get in the players we want.

"We are very close with him - we work hard to get him on board so hopefully he will join us very soon and give us some more options up front.

"He has shown in the teams he has played for that he can score goals.

"He is a very good striker and he did us a lot of damage at the beginning of last season.

"Of course it is a new season and we want to be very successful in all the competitions we play so we hope he will join us."
