How can you tell somebody has never watched Glen Kamara play football without actually asking them if they have ever seen the Finland international play?
For a start, if they value him £5million, it’s a good bet that they have absolutely no idea just how good a player he is.
According to Football365, Aston Villa were close to bidding £6m for the 26-year old in the summer, yes, the same summer in which he was outstanding in a major tournament and in which Odsonne Edouard and Kris Ajer both went for eight-figure fees in the last year of their contracts.
Now though, despite Kamara extending his Rangers contract until 2025, they seem to think that the starting bids would be going in at £5m:
“Kamara is under contract at Ibrox until 2025 which indicates that the Scottish champions will look to receive at least £5m for the Finland midfielder if he does leave.
“He impressed for his country at Euro 2020, which prompted reported interest from Villa, Watford and Arsenal – for whom he came through the youth academy before joining Dundee in 2017.”
Considering Steven Gerrard is his new manager and worked closely with Ross Wilson, he knows fine well what an acceptable figure would be for Kamara – if he doesn’t want to further ruin his strained relationship with Rangers fans he would be well advised not to insult us with such a paltry bid for one of our best players.
It’s because of this that, if he does want any of our players, negotiations shouldn’t take long one way or another, he’s coming to the wrong club if he’s hoping to pick up a cheap bargain.
