Joe Rothwell Transfer from Rangers to Sheffield United
Sheffield United have agreed on a permanent deal to sign Joe Rothwell from Rangers, according to journalist Michael Bleach. An agreement is in place, and Rothwell will soon complete the formalities of his transfer to Bramall Lane in the coming days. He is set to return to the Championship before the end of the transfer window.
Championship side Sheffield United enquired about Joe Rothwell, who at present remains at Rangers. According to Chris Jack, three clubs are in discussions with Rangers over a deal for him, and his reputation is still considered high following his performance in the Championship. It is said that a permanent transfer for Rothwell is the preferred option and that work is ongoing to secure an agreement.
Joe Rothwell has been linked with a move to Sheffield United, with a return to the EFL Championship being a possibility after his struggles in Govan. However, Rangers may not be in a position to lose the Englishman, as Rohl has to manage without Connor Barron for several weeks after the midfielder sustained an injury. Rothwell’s continuity may be essential for now.
Team Talk reports that Joe Rothwell has been placed on the transfer list amid interest from Championship sides including Sheffield United.
According to journalist Darren Witcoop, Sheffield United have made an approach to sign Joe Rothwell from Rangers on loan in the January transfer window. United now appears to be getting closer to signing him.
According to Record Sport, Sheffield United are in the leading position to sign Rothwell in January. The English Championship side is aiming to sign the Rangers midfielder and other key targets to improve their league standing and contend for promotion. Former Blades striker Brian Deane has urged his former club to sign the 30-year-old, who moved north to work under Russell Martin just months ago. Brian Deane told the Yorkshire Post that he thinks it would be a good signing for them because they need that kind of discipline and an organiser.
Sheffield United are reportedly interested in signing Joe Rothwell during the January transfer window. The 30-year-old English midfielder joined Rangers from Bournemouth in the last transfer window but has struggled to make an impact in Scotland. Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is prepared to provide Rothwell with an opportunity. Rangers are unlikely to obstruct the player's departure in January as they reportedly consider him an underperformer and will seek to transfer him in order to sign a better player. So far this season, Rothwell has made 8 appearances and provided 1 assist in the Scottish Premiership. His contract with the club runs until June 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.20m.
