The Daily Record are teasing their readers over FIVE Beale deals in the next 10 days although there could be financial issues such as matching wage demands or agreeing transfer fees.
Translated it means that there could be announcements about a few free agents next week with the usual promise of jam tomorrow.
Jack Butland’s deal is apparently at an advanced stage, the former England keeper will be looking for terms at least on a par with John Lundstram and Kemar Roofe.
Luis Palma of Aris is rated at £4m and is now not on the radar after a couple of weeks of speculation while fees for Auston Trusty (Arsenal) and Morgan Whittaker (Swansea) mean that progress is unlikely.
Whittling that down you are left with Kieran Dowell and Dujo Sterling, two free agents on the back of indifferent season’s in The Championship.
Undeterred, the Record tells their readers:
Michael Beale could have up to five summer signings lined up before Rangers bring down the curtain on their current campaign.
Deals for Norwich City midfielder Kieran Dowell and Chelsea defender Dujon Sterling have already been agreed while the move to land keeper Jack Butland at the end of his Manchester United contract are also at an advanced stage. Rangers are also in talks with two to three targets about a summer switch to Ibrox and hope to progress those over the coming days.
Beale admitted after the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat he is looking for a rebuild and it could see as many as 12 new arrivals. Summer signings could also be dictated by who in the current squad Beale can sell or move on. Aris’s Honduran winger Luis Palma has been heavily linked with Rangers but Record Sport understands he is not on Beale’s or the Ibrox side’s radar.
Swansea’s wide man Morgan Whittaker was a transfer target in January and is one Beale would be keen to land, if the two clubs can strike a deal. Rangers have captured Sterling, who can play at right back or across the back four, but are still looking to strengthen that area.
Nottingham Forest defender Jonathan Panzo and Austin Trusty are both options that have been considered, although the Ibrox giants could be priced out of a move for the Arsenal stopper. A striker remains Beale’s immediate priority as he looks for a replacement for Alfredo Morelos, who will leave on freedom of contract in the summer.
Tellingly there is no mention of signing Malik Tillman, previously Beale has described the deal for the Bayern Munich midfielder as a no-brainer.
The SPFL season ends on Saturday May 28 for Beale’s Bottlers when they travel to St Mirren.
This is all gossip talk and a squirrel story to take attention away from us going for the TREBLE.
Watch as game gets closer to us being awarded the league trophy big names and big transfer fees will be the headlines in the media about players going to ibrox to take the shine of our title.
But the icing on the cake will be the weekend of the TREBLE being won,that’s when they will really hit out with their big guns that they are apparently ready to sign,once again to take the gloss of the TREBLE, but it work.
So it looks like the daily sevco have Donald Trump and Boris Johnson writing the sports pages for them now with the amount of LIES and FAKE NEWS spewing out over there.
The headline sevco to sign to 10 players in 10 days,lol it was only last month they had to shovel out another 2 nickel&dime confetti share issues to get by the month of April,but in May 10 new players will arrive.
Just what is it they are smoking and drinking at the daily sevco.
No doubt after they sign all those players they will follow it up with the headline,sevco favourites for the treble next season.
