As the clock ticks down on the transfer window, the situation surrounding Todd Cantwell at Ibrox is becoming increasingly critical. For weeks now, it’s been no secret that Cantwell wants out, and Rangers need to act quickly to facilitate his departure. With the player’s unhappiness in Scotland and the club’s need to free up wages for potential new signings, the time is now for both parties to find a resolution.
Philippe Clement’s recent comments have made it clear that Cantwell’s future lies away from Ibrox. The midfielder’s desire to leave Scotland has been evident for some time, and it’s in the best interest of both Cantwell and Rangers to part ways. With the No.10 position in need of reinforcement, Rangers can’t afford to have a want-away player clogging up valuable resources. Cantwell’s exit will not only free up significant wages but also pave the way for a fresh start in that crucial creative role.

Reports suggest that Blackburn Rovers could secure Cantwell for as little as £600K plus add-ons—a shockingly low amount for a player of his age and ability. However, given the circumstances, it’s not entirely surprising. With Cantwell openly expressing his desire to leave, and Clement making it clear that offers would be entertained, the market value was always going to take a hit. It’s a frustrating scenario, but one that highlights the importance of getting the timing, player skill and attitude right when it comes to identifying a player.
