Rangers are in a great position to complete a £3 million transaction as the new contract is “not close.”

The news that Scotland international Lawrence Shankland is “not close” to agreeing to a new deal at Hearts may help Rangers in their possible pursuit of the £3 million player.

Any more talks between Heart of Midlothian and their free-scoring center-forward between now and the conclusion of the season will probably determine whether or not this is Lawrence Shankland’s last season at Tynecastle, since his contract expires in the summer of 2025.

If Hearts decide to cash in this summer rather than risk losing him for nothing a year later, he will undoubtedly have many of supporters.

Shankland has 27 goals this season across all competitions, indicating that Rangers were considering him during the January transfer window, according to reporter Peter O’Rourke. These kinds of center-forwards are not very common.

And most definitely not for a sum of about £3 million.

Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge claims that Shankland is not even “close” to signing a new contract, in addition to not having signed one.

“It’s not quite that close. Absolutely not, Budge says to PLZ Soccer. “There are about eighteen months remaining on his contract, so a lot of it is up to Lawrence.” As a young guy, he is considering his job options.
