Although former Ibrox manager Michael Beale had a busy transfer deadline day at his current club Sunderland, he

was sad not to be able to entice one of his summer acquisitions from Rangers in the closing moments of the day.

Leo Hjelde, Romaine Mundle, and Callum Styles were all welcomed to the Black Cats by Beale last week. However, it

has since come to light that Beale’s attempt to entice Ecuadorian international Jose Cifuentes, a midfielder for

Rangers, to the Stadium of Light was unsuccessful.

Cifuentes was traded by Beale for £1.2 million from MLS team Los Angeles FC to Rangers in the summer, but since

then, he has slid in Philippe Clement’s hierarchy as the two teams battle it out for the Scottish Premiership title.

Similar to fellow Beale signing Sam Lammers, the player signed a four-year contract with the team in August, but he

has had a terrible experience in Glasgow and is anticipated to depart Rangers in the near future.

Journalist Alan Nixon, nevertheless, claims that the Ecuadorian might have been getting in touch with his previous

manager Beale after Beale reached out to his old team in an attempt to entice the 24-year-old to Wearside.

Unfortunately for the 43-year-old Sunderland manager, the player was hesitant to move to the English

Championship and ‘turned down’ the offer as he pursued negotiations to join Cruzeiro, a Brazilian team.

The transfer of the international midfielder to Cruzeiro is expected to be finalized shortly, although it has been beset

by “red tape.” Nevertheless, it is quite likely that the move will be finalized

before the Brazil transfer window ends on March 7.

The 24-year-old’s transfer cannot be finalized until next week due to Brazilian employment regulations requiring

him to finish paperwork in his native Ecaudor. However, there are rumors

that he will be officially announced as a Cruzeiro player on Thursday.
