Liverpool sell Ryan Kent to Rangers in £7.5m transfer deal with 20 per cent sell-on clause

Ryan Kent has completed his move to Rangers from Liverpool in a deal worth £7.5million.

The Scottish giants will pay £6.5m up front with a further £1m-worth of achievable add-ons agreed.

The Reds have also inserted a 20 per cent sell-on clause that they believe is likely to be triggered in the coming years given Kent’s age and talent.

The 22-year-old looked to be facing an uncertain future when Liverpool rejected initial attempts from Rangers to once again sign him on loan after a successful stint north of the border last term.

Leeds United has seen a £4.5m bid rejected before the closure of the English transfer window, while Krasnodar also failed in a £5m off two weeks ago.

But Rangers held their nerve to ultimately secure Steven Gerrard’s main target on a permanent deal hours before the close of the European transfer window.
