Rangers and Liverpool must re-negotiate for Dominic Solanke.
Liverpool and Rangers came close to agreeing a loan move for Dominic Solanke in the summer.
The Daily Record reported in August that Rangers were still keen after months of speculation, but Liverpool were reluctant to let the striker go.
With Rangers signing Kyle Lafferty along with Umar Sadiq to go along with Alfredo Morelos up front, the Gers were not desperate to force it through.
Perhaps after last night, it’s time that changed.
Situations on both Liverpool and Rangers’ part changed last night, especially for Solanke himself.
Solanke has not played all season for Liverpool, and hoped to do so in the League Cup.
He was an unused substitute last night, and Liverpool were knocked out of the cup. Solanke’s chances of game time took a big nosedive.
It looks more and more like he needs to move away on loan to get playing time.
Rangers meanwhile might have a slot. Manager Steven Gerrard called out Umar Sadiq, who he deemed not good enough to make the bench.
With a suspension on the horizon for Alfredo Morelos, Gerrard tellingly said that Sadiq has a lot of improving to do to be under consideration.
Rangers could suddenly do with Solanke, and he needs a move.
A January loan deal makes more sense than ever.
