# Rangers: Ryan Kent rejects ‘big-money’ contract offer

**Ryan Kent has reportedly rejected a ‘big-money’ contract offer from [Glasgow Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/).**

### The Lowdown: Kent’s contract expiring

The 25-year-old’s current deal at Ibrox is set to expire [next summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-kent/profil/spieler/279457), which means he will be free to leave for nothing if a new contract is not agreed by then.

Premier League club Aston Villa have been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/rangers-ryan-kent-could-join-aston-villa-on-a-free/) with a pre-contract agreement for the winger in the January transfer window, so Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side are in real danger of losing him over the next few months.

### The Latest: Contract offer rejected

As per [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/kent-rangers-sources-offer/), Kent has now rejected a ‘big-money’ contract offer from Rangers, as he is setting his sights on a move to the English top flight.

The winger is believed to be ‘confident’ that he will receive ‘strong interest’ in the new year, and he [reportedly](https://www.footballinsider247.com/rangers-exclusive-value-of-ryan-kent-release-clause-revealed-as-leeds-still-keen/) has a £20m release clause in his current deal.

### The Verdict: If the offer is right…

If there is a club willing to pay Kent’s release clause between now and the summer, it may be worth Rangers letting him go.

It would be the [second-biggest](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/glasgow-rangers/rekordabgaenge/verein/124) transfer fee that they have received for a player, and with just a few months left on his contract, £20m would be a very nice sum to reap.

Kent has perhaps not been at his best this season either, receiving [criticism](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/ajax-4-0-rangers-kent-champions-league/) for some of his performances, so maybe January is the right time to sell him if a decent offer is made.
