John Lundstram has told Rangers chiefs he wants to leave Ibrox this summer when his contract expires, according to Gunebakis.
Writing on their website (19 April), the Turkish news outlet reports that the Hers wants to give him a new contract and keep him at the club next season as part of Philippe Clement’s squad.
But after failing to agree terms with the 30-year-old midfielder despite reports a deal was close, he has now stated that he wants a “new adventure” in his career and looks set to join Ipswich after they made a move to bring him in ahead of Trabzonspor.
Should Rangers give John Lundstram a new contract?
Since Clement took over from Michael Beale earlier this season, it’s fair to say that Lundstram has been the best-performing midfielder at the club.
With his contract set to expire in the summer, it’s no surprise that Clement wants to keep him at the club with his experience and the fact he has been so important to the team, but fans are split.
The former Sheffield United midfielder has often struggled for consistency and when it comes to the biggest games in Europe or against Celtic he has more often than not failed to make his presence felt.
If the manager wants him to stay then it would obviously be a big blow to the summer plans if he were to leave, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing.
His exit would allow for the club to reallocate his wages to younger players who more fit what the manager wants to do. It’s a shame not to get a fee for him, but once again poor planning from the board has left Rangers in a terrible position.
