Calvin Bassey completes Ajax transfer as Rangers defender departs Ibrox

Calvin Bassey completes Ajax transfer as Rangers defender departs Ibrox

CALVIN BASSEY has completed his summer transfer to Ajax.

The Rangers defender joins the Dutch giants on a five-year deal.

The transfer represents the highest ever fee Rangers have ever received for a player. 

The overall package is worth up to €27million, and Rangers will earn a 10-per-cent cut from any future sale.

A Rangers statement reads: "Rangers Football Club can today confirm Calvin Bassey has joined Ajax in a deal which is the largest in Rangers’ history.

"Calvin leaves with best wishes from everyone at Rangers and we thank him for his hard work and commitment over the past two seasons.

"The 22-year-old joined Rangers from Leicester City for a Training Compensation Fee in the summer of 2020, making 65 appearances for the Light Blues.

"Bassey played his part in Rangers’ historic 55th league title victory, won the 2022 Scottish Cup, while also having a huge role in the incredible UEFA Europa League run to the final in Seville last season.

"We wish Calvin all the best for his future career."
