Cardiff City are desperate to see Joe Ledley reject a Bosman move to Rangers.

The Sunday Mirror says if he moves to a club outside FA jurisdiction - even just across the ­border in Scotland - Cardiff will be due little in compensation.

Under UEFA rules, City would be lucky to scrape £150,000 for him.

Rangers could tempt him with a get-out clause in his contract, allowing him to return to England after just a single season in Scotland.

It is a massive concern for Cardiff, who still hope local boy Ledley will ­remain with them.

But if he does go, as is almost certain, Cardiff will be ­desperate to see him join long-time ­admirers Stoke, ­Everton, Newcastle , Wigan or West Ham, who are also interested.
