Every player has his price. And Rangers fans have found that out to their cost in the case of Calvin Bassey. There was talk last week about potential interest from Ajax and Premier League clubs in Bassey.
Now it looks as if the Dutch giants have won the race to sign the big defender, with reports last night claiming a deal has been agreed between the clubs. If it’s a move that interests Calvin it looks like he will be on his way to Amsterdam. For Rangers it was a case of getting the right money. I said before it had to be around the £20million mark and it looks like the deal will exceed that.
If you’re getting that kind of fee for a guy you effectively signed on a free, it’s difficult to turn down. I get the impression that Rangers are in a position where they don’t NEED to sell. That might have allowed them to haggle high with the likes of Ajax.
