Former Liverpool youngster is without a club at the age of just 27 after Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce cancelled his contract this week.
The winger only joined the Turkish giants 18 months ago but has struggled for a place in their side before Mourinho’s arrival signalled the end of his time with the club.
Kent’s contract was cancelled by mutual consent after just 18 appearances and one goal during his time in Turkey.
And Kent is already being linked with a return to former club Rangers, where he was a star player for six seasons, initially joining on loan in 2018 before completing a permanent transfer to the Scottish giants for £6.5m a year later.
Kent was once tipped for big things at Liverpool, joining the club at the age of seven and working his way up the age groups before being handed his full debut by Jurgen Klopp in an FA Cup tie at Exeter in 2016.
He’d later leave in loan to both Coventry, Barnsley, Bristol City and Frieburg before finding a more permanent home at Rangers under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.And in 2019, Klopp praised Kent’s contribution to Liverpool’s pre-season campaign, labelling him a “wonderful player”.
Ryan had sensational moments in the Sevilla game – one-on-one situations are his big strength,” he said.“He is a wonderful kid, a wonderful player.“Very good moments in pre-season, but it is for all the boys always a big challenge as well to show up.“They probably feel under pressure, which they shouldn’t but it is natural that it happens. I am happy about that, absolutely.
Kent’s only appearance under Mourinho at Fenerbahce came in a Champions League qualifier with Lugano in August, however the winger was taken off in the 68th minute with reports in Turkey claiming the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss was left unhappy with the performance of his player.
Kent had initially signed a four-year contract after leaving Rangers on a free transfer in May 2023.
