The 22-year-old’s contract expires this summer, and Philippe Clement, the manager of Ibrox, wants to sign him to a pre-contract deal.
Aberdeen hopes to convince the Scotland Under-21 player that a move to Pittodrie this summer would be beneficial for his long-term future because they are unable to match the estimated salaries Rangers would be offering.
After a stint with the Dons, players like Bojan Miovski, Lewis Ferguson, Ross McCrorie, and Kenny McLean all earned big-money moves.
To entice Cameron to relocate to the Granite City, Aberdeen will highlight their track record of producing and offloading first-team players.
With Cameron trained and developed by Dundee, any club signing the midfielder is obliged to pay compensation to the Dens Park club.
Should the two sides be unable to agree on a sum, the matter will be resolved by an independent tribunal.
Aberdeen recently secured an award of £640,000 after midfielder Connor Barron joined Rangers, and Dundee hope for a figure in the same ball park.
Cameron was shortlisted for PFA Scotland Young Player of the Season last May, and Dundee boss Tony Docherty hasn’t given up hope of keeping hold of the coveted midfielder beyond the summer.
‘We have players out of contract in the summer who we have indicated we want to sign again,’ said the Dens boss recently.
‘A couple have come back saying they’ll sign, others want to wait and that’s their prerogative.
‘Lyall’s in that category. But I’m still hopeful.’
