English Championship outfit Middlesbrough are reportedly interested in snatching Ryan Kent from the grasp of Rangers, according to Goal.com.
Rangers were said to be about to “close in” on the signing of Kent [The Scottish Daily Mail (10/6, back page)], but Middlesbrough reportedly want to scupper the deal.
If the Teesside club want the player they’ll need to shell out £12m. The report claims Liverpool are not messing around when it comes to their valuation of the winger.
A loan bid from Leeds United was rejected as the Anfield club hold out for the full whack this summer. From the reports, you get the idea if Liverpool can’t sell or interest dies down, Kent will make his way back to Glasgow.
But for Rangers, it’s a question of getting him in before our Europa League qualifiers kick in. Steven Gerrard will want one of last season’s star men on the pitch for the challenge of the qualifying run.

The Gers have also added Jordan Jones, Jake Hastie and Greg Stewart, who can all play as wide players.
But with Rangers reportedly willing to listen to offers for Eros Grezda [Daily Record], Rangers are holding out for another year of Ryan Kent.
However, should Middlesbrough cough up the money, it might be goodbye for real this time.
