Todd Cantwell’s transfer to Blackburn Rovers is nearing completion, but reports suggest that Rangers may only receive a reduced fee for the midfielder. The move, which has been in the works for weeks, comes after Cantwell submitted a transfer request to manager Philippe Clement earlier this summer.
Cantwell’s departure to Ewood Park is expected to include a financial arrangement where Rangers might contribute to the player’s wages after his exit. Additionally, Norwich City, who initially sold Cantwell to Rangers, are set to receive a portion of the transfer fee due to a sell-on clause. However, the exact percentage Norwich will receive depends on Cantwell’s achievements during his time in Glasgow.
While the financial details of the deal have not been fully disclosed, sources suggest that the fee will exceed the previously reported £600,000 but is unlikely to reach £1 million.
As Cantwell prepares to leave, Rangers are reportedly eyeing a replacement, with Sassuolo’s Nedim Bajrami being considered as a potential addition to fill the creative void left by the departing midfielder.
