Rangers get seven-figure Ligue 1 boost as summer transfer gears slowly start to turn

It sounds like Philippe Clement’s statement about needing to see sales before buying this summer refers to players leaving his own team rather than Rangers needing to sell players.

This could indicate that his current club needs to generate funds through player sales to reinvest in new signings. For Rangers, this situation could indirectly benefit them in the transfer market due to what’s known as trickle-down economics in football.

As an ex-Rangers star makes a move to another club, Clement’s team may receive a financial boost through transfer fees, potentially allowing them to spend more on new signings. This could provide Rangers with opportunities in the market, leveraging the funds circulating from such player transactions.

The sale of Glen Kamara from Leeds United to Stade Rennais represents a significant financial benefit for Rangers due to the clauses inserted into the initial transfer deal. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Initial Transfer to Leeds: Rangers sold Glen Kamara to Leeds United for £5 million last summer, which was seen by some as a lower valuation than expected given his potential and previous interest from OGC Nice.

2. Subsequent Transfer to Stade Rennais: Leeds United has now sold Kamara to Stade Rennais for a reported fee around £10 million, which is double the amount they paid Rangers.

3. Rangers’ Sell-On Clause: Rangers negotiated a sell-on clause in Kamara’s transfer to Leeds. Reports suggest it could be around 10% of the transfer fee, which means Rangers could receive between £500,000 to £1 million from Leeds’ sale of Kamara to Stade Rennais.

4. Financial Boost for Rangers: This additional income will provide a welcome financial boost to Rangers, aiding them in their efforts to strengthen the squad during the current transfer window.

Overall, despite the initial frustration over the perceived undervaluation of Kamara’s transfer to Leeds, Rangers now stand to benefit significantly from their astute negotiation of sell-on clauses, demonstrating the importance of such clauses in modern football transfers.
