Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers manager Steven Gerrard reportedly wants Kyle Bartley at Ibrox, with Leeds United also claimed to be interested in the Swansea City defender.
With Steven Gerrard’s Rangers and Leeds United interested in signing Kyle Bartley in the summer transfer window, according to The Scottish Sun, it would not be easy for the Swansea City defender to decide which club to pick.
After all, Rangers are one of the biggest clubs in the world with 50,000 supporters at their home games at Ibrox, while Leeds will be aiming to finish in the Championship top six next season and the Elland Road faithful love him.
Moreover, Bartley, who earns £28,000 per week as salary according to Spotrac.com, has played for Rangers and Leeds on loan deals, and he would have some kind of affinity with both clubs.
Perhaps the former England Under-17 international defender should pick Rangers over Leeds in the summer transfer window.
With the Championship so fiercely competitive, the Whites may not end up in the top six next season or maybe even in the next two or three years despite the new strategic partnership with the San Francisco 49ers, while the appointment of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard as the Rangers manager has given the club a renewed buzz and optimism.
The Gers are unlikely to win the Scottish Premiership title next season, but the Ibrox club will certainly be aiming to give Old Firm rivals Celtic a run for their money and finish second.
There is a sense at Rangers that the club are on the up, and 26-year-old Bartley should jump at the chance to be part of something special and work with one of the greatest players of all time.
