Rangers Star Rice Open to Offers Amid Ajax, Schalke Interest
21 Apr
Summary
- Young midfielder Bailey Rice is considering transfer options this summer.
- Ajax and Schalke are reportedly interested in signing the Rangers player.
- Rice is recovering from a knee injury sustained in November 2025.
Rangers midfielder Bailey Rice is reportedly considering his future with the club as the summer transfer window approaches. Both Ajax of the Netherlands and Schalke from Germany have expressed interest in the talented 19-year-old. Rice's contract with Rangers is set to expire this summer, making him a potential free agent unless a new deal is reached.
His playing time at Ibrox has been limited this season, further complicated by a knee injury sustained in training in November 2025. Rice has been sidelined ever since and is currently in recovery. Rangers secured Rice's signature previously, fending off competition from Manchester City, highlighting his early potential.
Schalke, currently leading the 2. Bundesliga and on track for promotion, have already made an offer of personal terms. Ajax, who are fifth in the Dutch Eredivisie, are also monitoring the situation. The potential departure of Rice, should he succeed elsewhere, could lead to questions about Rangers' player retention strategies.
