Micahel Gannon reports that Rangers may approve Todd Cantwell’s loan departure before the August 30 transfer deadline.
The midfielder from England has submitted a transfer request to leave Ibrox this summer, and Philippe Clement has confirmed that he wants to go before the transfer window closes.
Therefore, it’s still uncertain where Cantwell will wind up after this week, and journalist Gannon of the Daily Record thinks that if a permanent transfer can’t be arranged, Cantwell may be confirmed to be out on loan.
Will Todd Cantwell leave the Rangers before the deadline for Ibrox transfers?
Though Clement has stated time and time again that he will never close the door on Cantwell or any other player for that matter, it does feel as though there is no way back for the Englishman in Glasgow, as Gannon says.
Unlike Ianis Hagi, the 26-year-old appears to have no desire to improve, as evidenced by the fact that he isn’t even playing for the B Team [Rangers Review, 23 August], a decision that Clement said was made by the player, not him.
Ideally, the Light Blues would locate a long-term partner who would not only cover Cantwell’s salary but also compensate him for his services, but there is not much time left to make that happen.

Todd Cantwell tries to get away from the Rangers.
While a loan agreement would only be a short-term fix, it would free up much-needed salary space for the Rangers, which could then be utilized to finance additions in the final days of the transfer window.
Ideally, a move of some kind can be arranged as soon as possible. The Gers simply cannot afford to let Cantwell’s future remain uncertain as they approach September; else, this will provide a significant distraction as the title competition heats up.
