Cardiff City Want To Sign Rangers Player: Does It Make Sense For The Ibrox Club To Let Him Leave?
Rangers defender John Souttar has been frozen out by new manager Derek McInnes, omitted from the pre-season trip to Spain despite being fit. The 29-year-old Scotland international, who signed a contract extension until 2027 in February, now faces an uncertain future at Ibrox. Multiple Championship clubs including Cardiff City, Watford, Sheffield United, and Leicester City have expressed interest. Rangers are seeking a seven-figure transfer fee, with Souttar's Transfermarkt valuation at €2 million. McInnes is conducting a squad overhaul, signing players like Ben Godfrey, Lawrence Shankland, Ross McCrorie, and Cammy Devlin, while moving on underperformers. Souttar's four-year stint at Rangers has been inconsistent, and he was benched during key fixtures last season. A move to the English Championship appears beneficial for all parties.
