Rangers Face Possible John Souttar Exit amid Trabzonspor Bid

Rangers face a crucial decision regarding defender John Souttar amid confirmed transfer interest from Turkish club Trabzonspor. Despite being a key player since signing from Hearts in 2022 and having a contract until 2026, Rangers have strengthened their defense with new signings like Emmanuel Fernandez and Nasser Djiga, and are also pursuing Leicester City's Conor Coady. The club may consider selling Souttar this summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year, especially given the recent reinforcements and potential departures such as Robin Pröpper. Trabzonspor's interest appears genuine, with reports of an official bid, though Rangers' willingness to sell will depend on the offer. Losing Souttar would mean significant changes in Rangers' defensive lineup, as they have already seen other center-backs leave or face uncertain futures. Manager Russell Martin's stance on Souttar's potential exit remains unclear, with the club needing either to secure his future or agree on a valuation that justifies a sale.
