Michael Beale has warned Rangers the time might be ripe to cash in on Calvin Bassey. The Ibrox defender enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last year as Gio van Bronckhorst’s team reached the Europa League final before lifting the Scottish Cup.
His powerhouse performances have now led to Gers slapping a £25million price tag on the head of a player recruited from Leicester's academy for just £200,000 two years ago. Former Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard is rumoured to be weighing up a move, with a number of Premier League and Bundesliga outfits also monitoring the situation.
But with two years remaining on the Nigeria international’s deal, Gerrard’s former Ibrox No.2 Beale has warned Rangers they might not get a better chance to realise Bassey’s true worth if they opt to hang on the 22-year-old beyond this summer. It’s a scenario the club is already facing with key assets Alfredo Morelos, Joe Aribo and Ryan Kent now all into the final 12 months of their current agreements and their valuations on the wane.
