Josh Brownhill, a midfielder for Burnley, might be a free agent signing for Rangers, which would be a tremendous coup.
The 28-year-old, who has been an essential part of the Clarets’ promotion push this season, has a contract with Turf Moor that expires in the summer.
According to TBR Football, the Gers are one of numerous teams vying for the player’s services. West Ham, Fulham, Brighton, a number of Italian teams, and bitter rivals Celtic have reportedly approached rival teams from Saudi Arabia and Turkey for the midfielder’s services.
“Burnley have two choices, they can let the contract run down and get promotion and worry about it later, or cash in in the January transfer window, with the likes of Rangers, West Ham, Celtic, and even Leeds United [interested],” former England striker Carlton Palmer told Football League World, arguing that Burnley shouldn’t sell their star player in the midst of a promotion push that could generate a huge windfall.
However, you would definitely not want to sell him to someone who would compete with you for a promotion within the division.
Ultimately, this is your last opportunity to receive payment for him. How much is he worth? Since his contract expires at the conclusion of the season, I’m not sure how much money they could really make for him at the age of 28.
“We might think, ‘You know what, we’ll keep him until the end of the season, if we get promoted we might end up with nearly £200 million.'” “Maybe £1.5 to 2 million.”
The Rangers lack the financial resources to compete for Josh Brownhill.
It is obvious that Burnley lacks the financial resources to outbid any of the interested teams, regardless of whether they decide to sell the midfield player or take the chance of losing him on a free transfer.
The player will be able to earn more money from other clubs than the Ibrox club can.
The 28-year-old will also probably prefer to play in a league that is more reputable than the Scottish Premiership, like the Premier League, where he has experience.
With two of the three teams vying for the midfield player’s services contending for spots in Europe, Serie A, with teams like Lazio, Fiorentina, and Torino interested in his services, may also be an alluring option.
The potential wealth that would be available if Burnley chooses to retain Brownhill until the end of the season is too great for Philippe Clement’s team to match.
Consequently, it is unlikely that Brownhill will be relocating to Ibrox very soon.
