Hull City transfer latest: Croatia international Ivor Pandur joins Glasgow Rangers
HULL CITY goalkeeper Ivor Pandur has joined Scottish side Rangers for an undisclosed fee.
The sale of 26-year-old Croatian international, currently on international duty with his country, for a reported £6million, will represent a considerable profit for Premier League newcomers City.
In addition, the departure of Pandur, who missed just one Championship game last term, will help Hull adhere to profit and sustainability rules over a three-year registered period.
PSR criteria allow clubs to lose £39million over three years, with the East Yorkshire outfit having been pitted into a race against time to raise £6million before the end of June in order to avoid breaching rules before the start of July.
The Pandur deal will also see Jack Butland head in the opposite direction to the Tigers, with clarification expected shortly regarding the ex-England international.
Kyle Joseph’s impending £5m sale to Middlesbrough will help City steer clear of PSR penalties.
The proceeds from the sale of Pandur represents good business for Hull, who bought the keeper from Dutch outfit Fortuna Sittard for £1.5m in January 2024.
Pandur made 92 appearances for the Tigers, keeping 20 clean sheets.
He was named the club’s Player, Players’ Player and Supporters’ Player of the Year following an impressive first full season, playing a pivotal role in helping City avoid relegation in 2024/25 and was hugely influential in the club’s promotion in the last campaign.
