Rangers will sell Bassey for £25m, shop for replacement
The 22-year-old could land the Light Blues a huge profit if he moves on after joining for a bargain fee from Leicester City two years ago
Rangers have reportedly slapped a £25 million price tag on Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey.
The defender has been a standout performer for Giovanni van Bronckhorst as interest continues to grow.
The versatile stopper showed his class in the Europa League final defeat to Frankfurt and the Scottish Cup win over Hearts last week.
Bassey is being tracked by clubs in England and Germany but they will need to meet Rangers' price tag, reports the Daily Mail.
Former Ibrox and current Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has already been active in the transfer market for next season and is reported to have lodged an enquiry.
RB Leipzig, who Rangers knocked out of the Europa League semi-finals, are believed to be one of those clubs from Germany interested in the Nigeria international.
The 22-year-old could land the Light Blues a huge profit if he moves on after joining for a bargain fee from Leicester City two years ago.
Meanwhile, former Manchester City starlet Cameron Humphreys is set to head back to the United Kingdom this summer, with Scottish Premiership giants Rangers keen on a deal, TEAMtalk understands.
Central defender Humphreys has a host of clubs looking to seal his signature, and he is a free agent after deciding to leave Belgian club Zulte Waregem after three years.
Humphreys, who made his debut for City aged just 17, is now 23 and ready to return home.
We understand a host of clubs are taking a close look at Humphreys, including Europa League finalists Rangers.
The Ibrox outfit are hunting for a new centre-back over fears that Bassey could be sold this summer.
Newly promoted Bournemouth are also keen along with Huddersfield, Sheffield United, Stoke and Middlesbrough.
Humphreys’ only two appearances for City came in the FA Cup. And while he was a key performer for the club in Premier League 2 he was allowed to leave the club for Belgium in 2019.
The centre-back is also a regular for England at youth levels. That’s despite the fact that he’s never really been given the chance to shine in his own country.
