Now that a “brilliant” Rangers player is available, Jose Mourinho wants to sign him to Roma.
Two Serie A teams are keeping an eye on 20-year-old Ross McCausland before his contract expires next summer, so Rangers may have to fight to keep him at Ibrox.
This is in line with a Tuttomercatoweb report that mentions Roma and Atalanta monitoring the progress of the Northern Ireland international.
Ross McCausland is of interest to Roma.
Without a doubt, Rangers will want to move forward with getting Ross McCausland to sign a new deal. The winger’s first-team career with the Gers is off to a strong start. In the last five Scottish Premiership games, he has appeared for the club.
Lee McCulloch recently said that McCausland had been “brilliant” for the Gers to BBC Sportsound (9/11; 22:04).
Sadly for Rangers, other teams have noticed his form. McCausland is reportedly of interest to both Roma and Atalanta, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
They have not yet communicated about a possible move. If Rangers are unable to come to an extension agreement anytime soon, they might be able to get in touch about a potential pre-contract arrangement in the new year.
If the Italian teams are successful in signing the young player, they would have to pay approximately £393,000 in compensation, according to the report.
Interest serves to alert the Germans
The Rangers would suffer a loss if McCausland went away. Additionally, Philippe Clement is hoping that his recent success in the starting lineup will persuade him to stay.
Any young player would be tempted to work with Gian Piero Gasperini or Jose Mourinho. But at this point in his career, it’s undoubtedly especially crucial that he plays fairly frequently.
Rangers should definitely take the links into consideration as a warning and work quickly to get the starlet to sign a new contract.
