Ridsdale hoping to hang on to Dutch defender
Peter Ridsdale insists Cardiff City will not sell Rangers target Glenn Loovens for £1.5million.
Reports have claimed that Loovens is a target for Rangers after the Old Firm giants failed to agree personal terms for Watford centre-half Danny Shittu.
A figure of £1.5million has been mooted, but Cardiff chairman Ridsdale believes the Dutchman's value is in excess of that figure.
Ridsdale is also reluctant to consider selling Loovens, who has yet to accept the offer of a new three-year contract at Ninian Park.
Heard nothing
"I've heard reports about an interest from Rangers, but I've heard nothing from the club," Ridsdale told
Record PM.
"The figure being reported may well be £1.5million, but our valuation is far and away in excess of that figure.
"We would look at a significantly higher figure before even thinking about it, and anyway we're talking about a player who is most certainly not for sale."
One option, which reports say could be considered, is for Rangers to offer Kris Boyd in a swap deal for Loovens, with Cardiff confirmed admirers of the Scotland international striker.
