AI Summary

Rangers are reportedly on the verge of signing Ivor Pandur from Hull City in a £6m transfer, with Jack Butland moving in the opposite direction. This deal comes as several clubs, including Aberdeen, Dundee, Dundee United, and Motherwell, have received bids for their key players.

Ivor Pandur, a 26-year-old goalkeeper, has already undergone a medical while with Croatia's World Cup squad. The transfer will see Butland, who is 33 years old, heading to Hull City in a £3m deal. The move aims to comply with Financial Fair Play rules after Hull's promotion to the Premier League, necessitating player sales.

Key details of the transfer include:

  • Ivor Pandur's transfer is set to be finalized before Jack Butland's move, allowing Hull City to manage their purchases following the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) accounting period.
  • Rangers are also considering a permanent signing of Ben Godfrey for £3.8m after his loan from Atalanta.
  • Rennes is close to acquiring Bryan Reynolds, linked with Rangers, for £3.45m from Westerlo.

In addition, Dundee United has accepted a £1.8m bid for Will Ferry from a Czech top-flight club, allowing him to hold signing talks after other clubs failed to match the offer. Meanwhile, Motherwell rejected two seven-figure bids from Samsunspor for Elliot Watt, with expectations of at least £1.7m for the midfielder.
