Trabzonspor Set to Announce Todd Cantwell’s Transfer from Rangers
Todd Cantwell’s departure from Rangers appears to be just around the corner, with reports indicating that Trabzonspor is on the verge of finalizing the signing. The Turkish club is expected to announce Cantwell’s transfer “imminently,” reuniting the midfielder with former Rangers teammates John Lundstram and Borna Barisic, who both joined Trabzonspor earlier this summer after their contracts at Ibrox expired.
Last season, Cantwell submitted a transfer request, expressing his desire to leave Rangers. Manager Philippe Clement acknowledged the player’s intentions, paving the way for his eventual exit from the club.
Trabzonspor Moves Quickly to Secure Cantwell
According to a report from Karadeniz Gazete, Trabzonspor, managed by Abdullah Avci, has been working swiftly to bring the 26-year-old to Turkey. The club made a serious move after another potential deal fell through, with reports suggesting that a Trabzonspor representative flew to Glasgow on a private jet to negotiate with Cantwell. The same jet reportedly returned to Turkey just hours later, with sources indicating that the discussions were positive and that Cantwell’s transfer will be officially announced soon.
A Controversial Stint at Rangers
Todd Cantwell’s time at Rangers has been marked by several controversies, including the infamous “shushburger” incident against Hearts, where he appeared to gesture silence towards his own fans. Despite his talents on the pitch, these controversies have added to the speculation surrounding his future at the club.
With the transfer expected to be confirmed shortly, Todd Cantwell looks set to start a new chapter in his career at Trabzonspor. The move reunites him with familiar faces from Rangers and marks the end of his eventful stint at Ibrox.
