der Berliner 3,424 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Jefte to Rangers transfer 'confirmed' as key details emerge and signing double nears The 21-year-old looked set for a move to Ibrox in January but it was protracted. Now it seems they will land their man. Brazilian rising star Jefte’s move to Ibrox is now a done deal with the full back set to officially become a Rangers player in July, according to a report in Brazil. Philippe Clement is on the hunt for a left back with Borna Barisic set to end his six-year stay in Scotland when his contact expires. Rangers had agreed a deal for the 20-year-old South American during the January transfer window but it was complicated due to the fact he was on loan to APOEL Nicosia from Fluminese who failed to rubber stamp the move. The Cypriots wanted to sign the player permanently but have failed to agree terms with the player and now he will become a Rangers player. A Fluminese media channel reports: "Despite Apoel's interest in keeping the player, Jefte will be a player for Rangers, in Scotland, from July onwards. Deal confirmed." Jefte is likely to follow Panama defender Jose Cordoba with Rangers agreeing a deal with Levski Sofia. The Light Blues have agreed personal terms with the Panama international and are expected to thrash out a fee with Sofia. Reports in Bulgaria have claimed that the fee could be around £3.2m but that would include future add-ons that are built into the transfer. The initial upfront deal is likely to be closer to £2 million. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, only one DM comes back, with Tav and/or Barisic further up the park too. So, most of the time, there's only three or four at the back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get Jefte in, which it appears is realtively likely, I would be surprised if we go in to next season with Ridvan, Jefte, Doig and Fraser as LB options. Jeftes on the way according to some fluminense accounts. I'd be happy with him and Ridvan as our options tbh. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton_blows_goats 4,552 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 If McCrorie is to go Kelly as a #2 makes perfect sense. Homegrown for europe which we totally need to be all over. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrorie will seek more game time, which is understandable. Edited May 21 by der Berliner 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny3k 545 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 He's more experienced than McCrorie in top flight football and he's available on a free so even if we can get pennies for McCrorie, its a win in all aspects. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuddie 1,244 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 The Brazilian lad being 6ft and rapid will be a sight to behold - we haven't seen anyone like that in our defence in years. The first time he crashes into the box will see a front row of stauners in the Copland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
