Nottingham Forest have emerged as suitors to sign Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland in the summer transfer window.
Rangers are looking to sign a new keeper in the coming weeks, which could make Butland surplus to requirements.
Pierce Charles is on Danny Rohl’s radar, and it remains to be seen if the Light Blues can sign the in-demand stopper from Sheffield Wednesday.
Rangers want to sign Pierce Charles…
What does this mean for Jack Butland? 🤔
Jack Butland open to Premier League return amid Nottingham Forest links
While Butland would prefer to stay at Rangers, he is said to be open to making a return to the Premier League as well, according to Ibrox Noise.
Forest are looking to add a new keeper to their ranks, which is why they’re showing interest in the 33-year-old.
Butland is not expected to be offered a new contract at Rangers, with his current one expiring at the end of the 2026/27 season.
How much can Rangers expect from Jack Butland’s sale?
He is now in the final year of his contract…
While he would want a new deal being placed on the table, the Light Blues are understood to be willing to cash in on him.
The English keeper has made over 100 appearances for the club since his move back in 2023, and as he joined on a free transfer, they will make a profit from him no matter how much they sell him for this summer.
Forest have been interested, but they have yet to table a bid for him.
Is Pierce Charles ready to be the Rangers number one?
At 20, there may be concerns if Charles has what it takes to handle the pressure of being the first-choice goalkeeper for Rangers.
He would need to know that every mistake is going to be scrutinised and that he would need to ignore the critics and focus on improving his game.
Which Rangers star will fare the best at the World Cup?
The Gers have six players at the tournament.
While there are plenty of positives surrounding this potential signing, there are a few negatives as well, which the Gers will have to bear in mind.
His inexperience at the top level could mean that he’s not ready for the bigger stage, but at the same time, one will never know until he’s put into those positions.
If Rangers are willing to give him an entire season to adapt and hope that he hits the ground running, this deal is a no-brainer.
