Rice, born on October 4, 2006, first signed for Rangers on June 30, 2022. His previous contract was extended in September 2023 to run until May 2026. With that expiration date looming, the window for interested parties to start making noise was wide open.
Ajax, Schalke, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace have all reportedly shown interest in the young midfielder. That’s a varied and impressive list, spanning the Eredivisie, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. For a player with roughly 16 senior appearances to his name, that level of attention speaks volumes about what scouts are seeing.
His estimated market value sits at approximately €800K.
