Despite captaining Sunderland to promotion last season, he is yet to start a game in the English Premier League and looks to be on his way out.Rangers are in the race to sign Neil and he has many different clubs fighting to secure his services.
Tochi Chukwuani joined Rangers on 11 January for a fee of £4million from Sturm Graz, and that deal kick-started their business in the winter transfer window.However, Danny Rohl wants another midfielder following Connor Barron’s knee injury, and they’re willing to go all out to sign Neil.Neil’s impressive performances in the Championship have shown Rohl that he is exactly what they need at the centre of the park.
Alan Nixon has reported on his Patreon that the Bears are desperate to sign Neil and are willing to pay a small fee for him to make that happen.The 24-year-old’s contract runs out at the end of the season, and despite not featuring regularly, he is willing to stay at Sunderland until it runs its course.
Several clubs in England are interested in Neil, and he wants to see out his contract before making a choice on his next destination.
Although there is no agreement between Rangers and Sunderland yet, the Bears are thought to be in the best position to sign him before the deadline on 2 February.
