Positive information on Leon Balogun’s contract renewal is provided by the Rangers boss.
According to Soccernet.ng, Rangers manager Philippe Clement has alluded to a potential contract extension for Super Eagles central defender Leon Aderemi Balogun.
The 35-year-old veteran center back left Queens Park Rangers for the Scottish record Champions for a second tenure, but things haven’t gone according to plan.
Before being summoned back into the starting lineup in April and going on to play a fantastic game in their 2-0 Scottish Cup semifinal victory against Hearts, the former Mainz 05 defender had been out of the lineup for three months.
Since then, he has started all of the Gers’ games. His current contract expires in the summer, thus he is aiming for an extension. Philippe Clement, the Rangers manager, commended the defender’s mindset.
The defender’s mentality was commended by Rangers manager Philippe Clement, who also talked about a possible contract extension.
“Leon exhibited the proper mindset and enthusiasm for the team on a daily basis. At the end of the season, we can make a really good assessment of everything and everyone, so that may be something that is discussed at that point. In that regard, it will be a really exciting time for us to decide how to proceed for the upcoming campaign as well,” the 50-year-old manager stated in remarks made public by the Scottish Sun.
As they attempt to win a domestic double, the Belgian coach is now concentrating on getting his team in the ideal frame of mind.
“I believe it’s critical that the players concentrate on football throughout the next two weeks as we prepare for the games. It would be unfortunate if they were currently preoccupied with those matters. The manager said, “We need to put it on hold until the conclusion of the season and put everything on these four games if it was two weeks ago and there was a choice we had time to discuss it at that moment.
Balogun’s last appearance for the Super Eagles came during their AFCON qualification campaign, when they defeated Sao Tome & Principe 10-0.
