Pundit issues Rangers transfer offer verdict as Hearts offer bumper deal to Lawrence Shankland
According to Tam McManus, Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland would find it difficult to decline Rangers’ offer because he is a fan of the team.
The Scotland international, who is rumored to be heading to Ibrox in January, is considering extending his contract at Tynecastle.
On January 19, The Scottish Sun revealed that the team could need to make a bigger offer to the 28-year-old to persuade him to sign a new contract and forget about his ties to the Gers.
At 18:24, McManus stated during an appearance on the PLZ Football Show, “Hearts are supposedly pushing the boat right out with the biggest offer in a decade.” What Hearts are going to offer him is probably going to be more than £10k a week.
Therefore, the question is if he is content to end his career with Hearts. The Hearts fans would undoubtedly be thrilled with that, but if Rangers simply made a bid, I believe it would be difficult for him to reject.
“It would be hard for him to turn down if Rangers came in and his head could get turned,” the Rangers supporter said.
Delays
The delay in Rangers making an offer for Hearts striker Shankland suggests that he may not be the club’s top priority in the January transfer window.
Gers may be exploring alternative options or assessing other potential signings before committing to a move for Shankland.
This could be influenced by various factors, such as the team’s current needs, tactical considerations, or budget constraints.
Rangers may be hesitant to sign the 28-year-old due to his wage demands because, in the event that they believe the player’s expectations are too high, they may look at other options to bolster their roster while staying within their financial means.
The Rangers will eventually have to make a decision as the transfer window deadline draws near—less than two weeks away.
The length of time could suggest a careful analysis of the available options and the bargaining process.
Philippe Clement will, nevertheless, have certain goals in mind, and it will depend on the club’s ability to exert enough influence to grant him his wishes.
