Ivor Pandur is on the cusp of joining Rangers from Hull City for £6m. Jack Butland is set to move the other way for £3m. The 26-year-old had already undergone a medical while with Croatia's World Cup squad in the United States, tightening the timing on a deal that now appears ready to move.
Hull City and Rangers
The reported structure gives each club a direct replacement in goal and a clear fee on both sides of the move. Rangers would land a keeper who helped Hull City win promotion, while Hull City would bring in a 33-year-old with top-level experience.
For Hull City, the numbers matter as much as the names. The promoted club were forced into player sales to comply with Financial Fair Play rules, and this exchange sits inside that pressure. A £6m sale and a £3m purchase do more than swap goalkeepers; they help shape the accounting around the squad rebuild.
Croatia World Cup squad
Pandur's medical added a sharp wrinkle to the timeline. He was away with Croatia in the United States when it took place, which means the move has been pushed forward even while he remained tied to international duty.
That is the part Hull City and Rangers now have to finish cleanly. The report says Pandur's £6m transfer will be completed before Butland's £3m switch, so the sequence matters as much as the valuations. Once the first deal lands, the second is expected to follow behind it rather than run in parallel.
Have Rangers and Hull City actually settled the final terms of the two moves? The fee split, the order of completion and Pandur's medical all point to a deal moving fast, but the only thing left that counts is the paperwork.
