DONE DEAL: A teenage defender from Ac Milan, an Italian giant, became Rangers’ third summer addition, the team confirmed.
Clinton Nsiala writes a heartfelt note stating, “It’s time to say goodbye,” as the Rangers transfer is revealed.
After confirming the signing of teenage defender Clinton Nsiala from AC Milan, the Italian powerhouse, Rangers have now signed number three on their summer signing list. This summer, the Gers had a lot of business to attend to, and things are already starting to happen.
Rangers have already let a number of seasoned players go Ibrox after losing out on the championship. At the conclusion of their contracts, Borna Barisic, John Lundstram, Ryan Jack, and Kemar Roofe are all moving on, and the Rangers are making new acquisitions. After being pursued by the team in January, left back Jefte has now officially joined, while Oscar Cortes is returning from Lens on loan.
Although Rangers are still being linked to possible arrivals, supporters have already seen one signing that seemed to come out of nowhere.
Reacting to AC Milan’s departure, Clinton Nsiala signs with the Rangers It’s evident that Nils Koppen wants to tackle Rangers in a different way.
With the signing of AC Milan defender Clinton Nsiala, Koppen completed another deal in the vein of his strategy of acquiring young players with enormous potential. There were rumors that Rangers was closing in on Nsiala and that the Bundesliga clubs had missed out on a deal. Subsequently, Rangers made the transfer official, stating that the 20-year-old center back will come on July 1. Nsiala, who came to Milan from Nantes in 2021, has spent the past year playing as a substitute in first-team matches.
Rangers will be hoping that Nsiala, a left-footed center back with promise for the future, can step up his game in Glasgow. Nsiala decided to explore a fresh adventure with Rangers and leave AC Milan, thus he sent a statement on Instagram. The defender thanked coach Ignazio Abate for his influence and said he is departing after developing as a player and a person. Nsiala went on to say that while he is honored to have played for Milan, the “journey continues” in other places as Rangers have inked an intriguing contract.
After gaining both personal and professional development over the past three years, it’s time to bid this team farewell. A squad that raised me as a kid, raised me as a man, and eventually became family. a group of players and an instructor who never lost faith in me. Speaking of coaching, Ignazio Abate, Nsiala remarked, “You have always believed in me and still do. Without your support, I wouldn’t be where I am now, save for my feet and hard effort. “Happy to be sporting the AC Milan shirt.” I appreciate your help. To AC Milan, I am grateful. The voyage goes on,” he continued.
On Nsiala’s move, Nils Koppen Although it’s uncertain how soon Nsiala will be considered a first-team player by Rangers, he undoubtedly made the transfer with senior minutes in mind. Speaking on the team’s official website, Rangers director of recruitment Koppen seemed to be happy about the move.
“We are thrilled to have Clinton join the team as a talented young player,” Koppen remarked. “We think he can grow and advance under our manager, Philippe Clement, and his team. He joins as an exciting talent.” “As we continue to assemble the team in preparation for the 2024–2025 campaign, we are excited to have Clinton visit Glasgow,” he stated.
Rangers might see Nsiala as a left-footed, young defender who needs to step up after playing a lot of development games, similar to Calvin Bassey.
After becoming into a talented left-sided center defender under Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Bassey ultimately brought millions to Rangers. Nsiala’s development into that kind of player is now up to Philippe Clement, but one thing is for certain—as long as Koppen keeps making moves, Nsiala won’t be the last young player to sign with the Rangers this summer.
