The Summer 2024 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[der Berliner 3,744]

Out-of-favour Rangers midfielder Jose Cifuentes is expected to arrive in Thessaloniki on Monday for a medical and to sign a one-year loan deal with Aris that includes a mandatory purchase of £4.3m for the 25-year-old. (BN Sports)

 

Rangers will have to pay part of Jose Cifuentes' £860,000 per year salary when the 25-year-old midfielder joins Aris on loan. (Sport 24)

 

Jose Cifuentes agreed terms with Aris last month, but the loan move from Rangers was delayed because Cruzeiro had to cancel his loan with them first and the Ecuador midfielder then encountered complications because of Brazilian work permit regulations. He is expected to be paraded at the weekend after completing his medical. (The National)

 

Cagliari have reignited their interest in 29-year-old Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers amid the possible departure of Gianluca Lapadula. (Tuttomercato)

 

Cyriel Dessers was initially targeted by Cagliari early this summer, but with the signing of Roberto Piccoli, Rangers' Nigeria striker is no longer seen as a viable option, although that could change should Gianluca Lapadula leave the Serie A club. (Soccernet)

 

After his hat-trick in a 5-3 win over Derby County playing for Rangers' B team, Ianis Hagi posted a photograph of himself captioned "home is good", which is being interpreted by some fans as a suggestion the out-of-favour 25-year-old Romania midfielder now wants to stay at Ibrox. (Scottish Sun)

 

Thoughts ...

This Cifuentes thing is littered with question marks. Aris wants to buy him for a set 4.3m (what?!?!) next summer, but can't pay his current wages, so we have pay "PART of his wages" of 860k (WHATT???!?!). Who made that wage offer? Who thinks that Aris will have 4.3m to spend on a de facto no-mark midfielder?

 

Dessers won't go. Never say never, but I think he's happy where he is, while we have no backup ready just now. It would essentially be suicidal, just like Aberdeen letting Miovski go ... even though they sure need the money.

 

Hagi and Cantwell need buyers, or they and Clement will have to talk again.

It seems Aris will be paying an inflated fee to us rather than pay the player a high wage and bust the wage structure they have. This will offset the contribution we put towards the wage.

Ah well, Shankland it is then 😉🙂

Some deal for the sheep that to be fair. They have done well recently bringing in fees.

[Devil's advocaat 1,541]

It is indeed, a good deal for both, Girona are getting a very good player for what is a reasonable fee in the current market.

Saw some account come in for some heat because he reckons that with his shot placement data Miovski is a mid level championship striker.

[yuddie 1,693]

Before anyone asks, idk how you can garner the ability of a striker through his shot placement.

 

Roughly speaking though, I could see why Harry Kane would score highly hypothetically.

 

Darwin Nunez would probably be one that flatters to deceive, because he just blams it at the keeper.

Aye his movement is excellent though he cant finish for toffee. I remember him ripping us to shreds when we played Benfica.

Rangers to open transfer talks with WSG Tirol over 7-figure Mahamadou Diarra signing

Rangers and WSG Tirol are about to open transfer negotiations over a move for Mahamadou Diarra, Africa Foot reports.

According to the outlet’s website on 12 August the Light Blues want the 20-year-old striker for around €2million [£1.71m] and have already started discussing matters with his agent.

Several European sides are said to have the youngster on their transfer lists having completed just one season in the Austrian Bundesliga after arriving from Stade Malien last summer.

 

The Light Blues have already signed one young striker this summer after bringing in Hamza Igamane from AS Far Rabat after agreeing a deal for a reported £2.5million [Scottish Sun, 22 June].
