Rangers: Van Bronckhorst facing huge worry over £33.3m trio at Ibrox

Rangers are facing up to the prospect of a huge summer as allowing Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Joe Aribo to run down their Ibrox contracts is ‘the last thing the Gers want’, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The reigning Scottish Premiership champions are on the brink of handing the title over to arch-rivals Celtic and, in a further blow, Rangers could see three of their key men depart in the coming months.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst was appointed as Rangers’ manager last November and, ahead of his first full season at the helm, he could find it difficult to hold onto Morelos, Kent and Aribo.

Similarly, Kent’s £18,000-per-week agreement and the £14,000-per-week deal Aribo is tied down to will expire on May 31, 2023.

While Transfermarkt values Morelos, Kent and Aribo at £11.7million, £12.6million and £9million respectively, Rangers could see the trio walk away for free at the end of next season if they fail to agree fresh terms.

Morelos, Kent and Aribo are not the only Gers stars nearing the end of their respective contracts as the likes of Connor Goldson and Steven Davis appear to be on their way out of Ibrox at the season’s climax.
