BREAKING: In the next 48 hours, the Rangers plan to reveal their summer acquisition, No. 4.
It is said that Rangers are “very close” to signing No. 4 this summer, even with the £7 million claim.
This summer, Rangers could not be accused of resting on their laurels. It remains to be seen if their acquisitions turn out to be a success or if 2024 is only a rerun of the disastrous hiring spree of 2023.
However, the way Rangers have attacked the market—full-blooded and two-footed—should offer supporters some hope that this is a club that, at least off the pitch, knows what they are doing. That Premiership collapse and that heartbreaking Scottish Cup loss are still very much fresh scars. Rangers didn’t take long to finalize the long-awaited agreement for Jefte Vital, even though it took longer than expected—five months. Oscar Cortes has been granted a second shot at Ibrox in recognition of his outstanding, albeit injury-plagued, loan term.
Conversely, Clinton Nsiala was verified on Tuesday by the official club website. Arriving on a free transfer from AC Milan, this purported “huge talent” could end up being quite the coup.
Rangers have already added three players. Director Nils Koppen grinned, saying, “We are excited to add a talented young player in Clinton to the squad.” Rangers are apparently fending off interest from a number of teams, including Bundesliga runners-up Stuttgart, who will compete in the Champions League. He is an interesting new talent that we think our manager Philippe Clement and his team can help him grow and advance.
“We are excited to have Clinton visit Glasgow.” That concludes the three. Additionally, signing number four might be forthcoming. Rangers are reportedly “very close” to adding Albion Rrahmani to their roster as well, according to the Romanian daily Digi Sport. Respect be given to Jefte and Nsiala, two left-footed defenders who will bolster Clement’s defense with youth, vigor, and depth, but there’s something a little more thrilling about a number nine who is a prolific scorer with an excellent track record.
Maybe there are some similarities between Rrahmani and Antonio Colak. a cunning, dexterous, and quick finisher who, when offered assistance, typically delivers the goods. After winning the Kosovan Golden Boot at Ballkani in 2023, Albion Rrahmani transferred to Rapid Bucharest, where he scored 19 goals in what appears to be his final season in the Romanian city. Deal with Albion Rrahmani “very close”
There is no denying that Rrahmani will find new employment before the upcoming season. Vincent Angelescu, a co-owner of Rapid, has already acknowledged that the 23-year-old has a “80 percent” probability of leaving. However, with potential bidders from all over Europe (Sparta Prague is said to have already made an approach), reports that Rrahmani is “very close” to bringing Rangers’ total of new signings to four by mid-June feel like yet another success for Clement, Koppen, and company in the transfer market.
It’s unclear, though, exactly how much Rangers wind up having to pay. Various newspapers have suggested fees ranging from £4 million to £8 million. It is evident that The Gers are expecting Rapid will demand a figure more in line with the former than the latter.
The well-connected Romanian agent Cristian Cernodolea tells GSP Live, “Knowing the market and what is happening in the market, I am absolutely convinced that Rrahmani will leave this summer.” “I am aware that Rapid is considering offers. Numerous significant teams, with scouts present at the matches in Bucharest, came to see him. I have information that suggests that some of them were undoubtedly impressed.
“At this moment, I’m pretty sure Rapid has between five and six million on the table for Rrahmani, if I were to estimate. Furthermore, I doubt they’ll sell him for that much money. “The club hopes to raise between seven and eight million euros.”
