Rangers' Scottish midfielder Bailey Rice is set to leave the club when his contract expires this summer, reportedly due to frustration over a lack of consistent first-team opportunities. It has been confirmed that German clubs Stuttgart and Schalke, as well as Dutch side Ajax, have held discussions over a potential deal for the 19-year-old. In addition, English clubs Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace are also attempting to sign the player and have entered into talks with his representatives. Rice has been capped 16 times for Scotland's U19 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €800k. Reports in early 2026 noted that a cross-border transfer to an English club would only require a small compensation fee.
