Rangers Consider Potential Move for Star Player
Rangers Football Club is considering a noteworthy move for Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil during this transfer window. Journalist Alan Nixon reports that while Neil is open to staying with Sunderland, a transfer to Rangers is a strong possibility if the club makes a serious effort.
Rangers’ Ongoing Transfer Activity
Under the guidance of manager Danny Rohl, Rangers have been active in the January transfer window. They have successfully signed:
- Defender Tuur Rommens from Westerlo
- Midfielder Tochi Chukwuani from Sturm Graz
- Attacker Andreas Skov Olsen on loan from Wolfsburg
Rommens and Chukwuani joined on permanent deals, while Skov Olsen’s loan includes an option to buy, along with additional bonuses and a sell-on clause.
Interest in Dan Neil
Rangers have approached Sunderland about signing both Dan Neil and fellow player Romaine Mundle. Despite interest from various teams in England, Neil is reportedly inclined to see out his current contract, which concludes in the summer. Nevertheless, if Rangers intensify their efforts, a switch could still occur.
Rangers may need to negotiate a small transfer fee with Sunderland, as no agreement is currently in place. However, the financial package offered by Rangers could be the most enticing for Neil at this stage.
Potential Impact on Neil’s Career
Dan Neil, 24, has made limited appearances in the Premier League this season, sitting on the bench for many matches under manager Regis Le Bris. His early career had high expectations, with former players predicting he would soon leave Sunderland for bigger opportunities. Recently, he has been recognized as a ‘top player’ by former Sunderland stars, signaling his growing reputation.
A potential move to Rangers not only enhances Neil’s prospects of competing for silverware but also offers him a chance to showcase his talents in a more competitive environment as Rangers pursue titles in both the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish Cup.
