Overview
- Rangers submitted an opening offer of about €2.5m for Westerlo right-back Bryan Reynolds on Wednesday which the Belgian club rejected as too low.
- Reports say Reynolds has given Rangers his personal green light and is available for talks because he was not picked for the United States World Cup squad.
- Westerlo value Reynolds at 'a few million' and he has one year left on his contract so the club can demand a higher fee now or risk losing him next summer.
- Nathan Patterson remains a possible alternative but any move would likely wait until after the World Cup because he is in Scotland’s squad and Everton are exploring other right-back signings.
- Rangers face near-term pressure to secure a natural right-back after James Tavernier left and Max Aarons returned to Bournemouth which leaves Dujon Sterling as the only regular option.
