Rangers Still Want Miller as £10m Bid Set to Be Launched for Motherwell Gem
Rangers are preparing to step up their summer recruitment drive with a bold £10 million bid for Motherwell starlet Lennon Miller, as the Ibrox side look to beat off growing interest and secure one of Scotland’s most coveted young talents.
The 18-year-old midfielder has been a standout performer for the Steelmen in the Scottish Premiership, quickly establishing himself as one of the brightest prospects in the country. Despite his age, Miller’s composure on the ball, tactical intelligence, and work rate have drawn admiration across the league, with scouts from England and mainland Europe reportedly monitoring his progress closely.
Rangers’ interest is long-standing, but sources close to the club now indicate that manager Russell Martin is ready to sanction a significant offer to bring the Scotland U21 international to Ibrox. A formal £10 million bid is expected to be lodged within the coming days — a figure that would make Miller one of the most expensive teenage signings in Scottish football history.
“Lennon Miller is a top talent,” a Rangers insider said. “He’s got the potential to play at the very highest level. We believe this is the right time to move — not just for the player’s development, but for what he can bring to Rangers over the next decade.”
Russell Martin has made it clear that youth and long-term planning are central to his rebuilding project at Rangers. With several experienced midfielders either moving on or entering the twilight of their careers, Miller is seen as a future cornerstone of the team — a player who can contribute immediately, but also grow into a leading role.
Motherwell, for their part, are bracing themselves for a significant offer. The Fir Park club would be reluctant to lose their prized asset but acknowledge that a deal of this magnitude could be transformative, both financially and in terms of their ability to invest in the squad.
Club officials are believed to be holding out for an offer with substantial upfront payment and a strong sell-on clause, recognising that Miller’s value could soar if he thrives in Glasgow or moves on to a bigger league down the line.
“We’ve developed Lennon carefully, and he’s repaid that faith with outstanding performances,” said a Motherwell spokesperson. “He’s an exceptional young man with a huge future. Any decision about his next step will be made with his best interests in mind.”
Interest from clubs in the English Premier League, including Brighton and Brentford, has kept pressure on Rangers to act decisively. But with the player reportedly open to staying in Scotland and joining one of its biggest clubs, the Light Blues may now be in pole position.
Should the £10 million bid be accepted, it would mark a statement of intent from Rangers — investing heavily in homegrown talent to fuel their push for domestic and European success.
The ball is now in Motherwell’s court. But with interest mounting and the bid imminent, the Lennon Miller transfer saga looks set to be one of the defining stories of the summer window.
