Liverpool have missed out on a multi-million pound windfall after Rangers confirmed Ryan Kent would leave Ibrox at the end of his contract this summer. The winger joined the ‘Gers permanently in the summer of 2019 in an initial £6.5m deal, having enjoyed a successful 2018/19 season on loan at the club under he was crowned the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year. Able to bank a further £1m in achievable bonuses, the Reds also negotiated a 20% sell-on clause as part of the deal. This was regarded as important with club bosses believing potential would see him ultimately return to the Premier League. However, the Scottish giants confirmed on Wednesday that the 26-year-old is one of five players who will depart the club when their contracts expire.
Kent has made 218 appearances for Rangers over the past five seasons, scoring 33 goals and registering 57 assists.
Leeds actually had a £4.5m bid rejected for Kent in the summer of 2019, the day before the English transfer window shut.
