Contract Talks:Contract renewal talks between club and £25k per wk star have stalled amid lucrative offer from Saudi
John Lundstram’s future at Rangers remains uncertain, with reports indicating that talks between the player and the club about a new contract have stopped.
The Rangers Review stated earlier this month that ‘the club are determined to securing Lundstram’s services for next season and beyond,
with an agreement expected in the coming weeks.’ However, Football Insider reports that this is no longer the case.
Lundstram, who is said to be one of Ibrox’s highest earners, is out of contract in the summer and is expected to receive multiple offers.
This season, he has been a frequent starter under Philippe Clement,
appearing in 42 games across all competitions and delivering a number of standout performances.
Discussions between both parties have heated up in recent weeks,
with Gers coach Clement personally pushing for a deal to be completed.
It is reported that the Belgian sees Lundstram as an important element of his first-team squad in the future and is ready to sign him to a new contract.
Lundstram, who joined Rangers from Sheffield United in 2021, has played an important role in Clement’s tactical setup,
and former Ibrox fan favourite Kris Boyd has stressed the significance of keeping him on long-term.
In his weekend Scottish Sun piece, Boyd wrote: “Rangers next season? Keeping hold of John Lundstram after the summer will be critical.
They need to find a method to lock him down with a new contract.
“He complements (Mohamed) Diomande well and has a significant influence on the way Clement wants the team to play.”
For the Belgian to rebuild next season, he’ll need his best players around him, and Lundstram is one of the greatest.”
