Rangers Football Club is set to share a portion of their transfer earnings from the sale of Sam Lammers to Twente Enschede with two Dutch clubs. The 27-year-old’s move to Twente brings in a reported fee of around £2.5 million, but development clauses from his previous teams mean that part of this windfall will be distributed elsewhere.
Development Fees: Who Gets What?
The biggest beneficiary of these development clauses is PSV Eindhoven. Lammers spent five years at PSV before his transfer to Atalanta, and as a result, PSV is entitled to £100,000 from the Rangers’ Sam Lammers transfer windfall payouts. Additionally, Willem II will receive £10,000 as a development fee from his time as a youth player at the Tilburg club.
Lammers’ Rollercoaster Career at Rangers
Sam Lammers’ tenure at Rangers was far from successful. During his time at Ibrox, he managed to score only two goals in 31 appearances. This lackluster performance led to his loan move to Utrecht, where he dramatically turned his fortunes around. Lammers set a club record by scoring in seven consecutive matches and finished his loan spell with an impressive 13 goals.
Manchester United’s Stance on Hannibal Mejbri
In related transfer news, Manchester United’s stance on Hannibal Mejbri, a target for Rangers, has been clarified. Philippe Clement, aiming to reshape his squad, identified the 21-year-old Tunisia international as a recruitment target. Reports indicated that Rangers were in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Mejbri. However, according to French media outlet Le Parisien, Manchester United would prefer to offload the attacking midfielder on a permanent deal.
Potential Exits at Rangers
Rangers are bracing for a busy transfer window with several key players expected to leave. Todd Cantwell, Sam Lammers, and Connor Goldson are among those likely to exit. Additionally, club captain James Tavernier and Scott Wright could also be on their way out.
