Rangers want Bryan Reynolds, the 24-year-old American defender at Westerlo, and the framework of a deal is in place at one end only. The player has given the green light, but Westerlo are holding firm. Rangers' opening bid of around £2.2m has been rejected, the Belgian side want more, and there has been no advance since. The talked-about fee sits somewhere between £2.2m and £3.1m, with Reynolds under contract until 2027. The most concrete reporting comes from Sacha Tavolieri, a reliable voice, who says a live bid exists and was rejected — interest rather than collapse. Chris Jack, also dependable, frames it more cautiously, relaying that Reynolds is merely 'one name under consideration' with no concrete talks. So the picture is a genuine but early one: a real bid on one front, speculation on the other. One source even denies an offer was made. The 42% reading means this is genuinely in the balance — a coin-flip leaning slightly against. For it to land, Rangers must close the gap Westerlo have opened by rejecting £2.2m. What holds it back is that stalemate: the player is willing, but no movement has come since the rejection, and the seller is unmoved. Reynolds knows this terrain — he joined Westerlo from Roma for £3m in 2023. Rangers, for their part, have spent at this level before, signing from Atalanta for £3m in 2023. The money under discussion is entirely in keeping with both sides' habits. Watch for an improved Rangers bid nearer Westerlo's valuation. A second offer accepted, or a fresh report of talks reopening, would be the trigger that moves this from stalled to serious.
