Rangers are interested in Manchester United goalkeeper Jack Butland, who is on loan from Crystal Palace, on a free transfer.
He currently has a temporary deal with Crystal Palace after Martin Dubravka terminated his loan and returned to Newcastle United.
The goalkeeper will leave his home club at the end of the season for free unless he extends his stay before the end of June.
There was speculation at the time of his arrival in Manchester that the club might take him on for free.
However, it appears that this will not be the case, as he has been used as a third option instead of the backup option that Dubravka was.
Football Transfer Tavern is reporting via Football Insider that Rangers are, in fact, planning a move to Butland.
It is rumored that it has been on the list of options for a while and that it could be a perfect option for the summer.
He has made 87 Premier League appearances for both Crystal Palace and Stoke City.
The former England international is much younger than current options at the club in Allan McGregor, who is 41, and Jon McLaughlin, 35.
It would be a great move for Butland, who would easily become the Scottish club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
The 29-year-old is surely hoping he can find a club where he can be a regular starter after having been a backup option at Crystal Palace for three years.
Erik ten Hag is expected to review his goalkeeping options this summer with David de Gea nearing the final months of his contract.
Dean Henderson could return to the infield but is also expected to leave this summer.
It remains to be seen if Tom Heaton stays as a backup option next season or if the club will let him go as well.
