Hello, fellow Rangers fans! It’s your Ibrox Insider here with some buzzing news that’s set our community alight. Social media is on fire with rumours that our stalwart defender, Connor Goldson, might be heading to Aris Limassol. Whispers are growing louder, with some suggesting he’s already on a plane to Cyprus!
Our new gaffer, Philippe Clement, is shaking things up big time this summer. He’s keen on lowering the average age of our squad and building a side for the long term. We’ve already seen Ryan Jack, John Lundstram, and Borna Barisic moving on. It’s looking more and more likely that our skipper, James Tavernier, might join the exodus to Turkey. But today, it’s Goldson who’s on everyone’s lips.
Connor Goldson has been a fixture in our defence from the Steven Gerrard era through to Michael Beale’s time at the helm. However, Clement made a bold move in April, dropping Goldson from the starting lineup before a knee injury cut his season short. This fuelled early rumours of a summer exit to free up some much-needed wage space.
Now, social media is abuzz with claims that our 31-year-old vice-captain is en route to Aris Limassol. Remember them? They gave us a hard time with that 2-1 defeat in the Champions League last season. There are even images floating around showing Goldson at Prestwick Airport, reportedly catching a private jet to Cyprus on Sunday night.
Even podcasts like This Is Mappa in Cyprus are getting in on the action, delving into the speculation. Despite questions over Aris Limassol’s ability to afford his wages and a transfer fee, it seems they’re willing to make a big splash for a player of Goldson’s caliber.
Goldson’s been a rock for us, racking up 309 appearances over six years and consistently delivering solid performances. But let’s face it, last season wasn’t his best. At 31, he’s nearing the twilight of his Rangers career. With his contract ticking down, a summer transfer could be the best move for both him and the club. This could be our chance to cash in and give promising talents like Leon King a shot at regular first-team action.
In addition to interest from Aris Limassol, Birmingham City has also reportedly shown interest in securing Goldson’s services. With options seemingly on the table, the possibility of a transfer is becoming increasingly likely.
We believe a transfer in this window is the optimal outcome for Rangers and possibly for Goldson himself. While the Cyprus trip might point to a medical, let’s remember this doesn’t seal a move to a club there. There’s also interest from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, so his future destination remains uncertain.
