Pundit: Despite earning more than £10k a week, the striker is likely to accept Rangers’ offer.

According to Tam McManus, Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland would find it difficult to decline Rangers’ offer because he is a fan of the team.

The Scotland international, who is rumored to be heading to Ibrox in January, is considering extending his contract at Tynecastle.

On January 19, The Scottish Sun revealed that the team could need to make a bigger offer to the 28-year-old to persuade him to sign a new contract and forget about his ties to the Gers.

McManus stated, “Hearts are supposedly pushing the boat right out with the biggest offer in a decade,” during his appearance on the PLZ Football Show, at 18:24. What Hearts are going to offer him is probably going to be more than £10k a week.

Therefore, the question is if he is content to end his career with Hearts. The Hearts fans would undoubtedly be thrilled with that, but if Rangers simply made a bid, I believe it would be difficult for him to reject.

“It would be hard for him to turn down if Rangers came in and his head could get turned,” the Rangers supporter said.

Postponements

Shankland, a striker for Hearts, may not be Rangers’ main priority during the January transfer window, based on the club’s tardiness in making a bid.

Before making a move for Shankland, the Gers might be considering other options or evaluating other possible signings.

A number of things, including the team’s present needs, tactical concerns, and financial limitations, could have an impact on this.

Rangers may be hesitant to sign the 28-year-old due to his wage demands because, in the event that they believe the player’s expectations are too high, they may look at other options to bolster their roster while staying within their financial means.

The Rangers will eventually have to make a decision as the transfer window deadline draws near—less than two weeks away.

The length of time could suggest a careful analysis of the available options and the bargaining process.

Philippe Clement will, nevertheless, have certain goals in mind, and it will depend on the club’s ability to exert enough influence to grant him his wishes.

In other Rangers news, teams are now in communication with the team as it looks like another first-team member may be departing shortly.
