Leon Balogun’s Future at Rangers in Doubt Amid Contract Silence

Leon Balogun’s time at Rangers may be coming to a quiet end, with signs pointing toward an exit when the current season wraps up. Despite publicly expressing interest in staying at Ibrox beyond this campaign, the veteran defender is yet to receive a new deal from the club.

Now 36, Balogun has been a dependable presence at the heart of Rangers’ defence across two spells. He first joined the Scottish giants in 2020 and made a solid impression before departing in 2022. After a year away, he returned in 2023 and penned a short-term contract, which is due to expire in a few weeks.

Sources around the club suggest that Rangers may be looking to move in a different direction, focusing on younger players as they prepare for the next chapter. Balogun, however, has featured regularly this season, racking up over 20 appearances in all competitions—a testament to his fitness and continued quality at the back.

While nothing official has been confirmed, there is growing speculation that the Nigerian international may have already played his final games in the famous blue shirt. Clubs in England and across Europe are reportedly monitoring the situation, prepared to swoop in should Rangers fail to open new talks.

Balogun’s leadership and experience have proven vital for Rangers, particularly during key domestic fixtures. His potential departure would leave a void not only on the pitch but in the dressing room.

As the season nears its conclusion, all eyes will be on whether the Light Blues choose to extend the veteran's stay or close the chapter on a respected career in Glasgow.
