“I understand…” – Journalist says Rangers will be in “open” talks over move to sign 20 y/o gem-report
With a game remaining and a stronger team, Rangers are now only three points behind Celtic in the Scottish
Premiership. It’s safe to conclude that the team had a productive January. In an attempt to maintain that
momentum off the field, the Gers are allegedly planning a summer acquisition to make up for a deal that fell through
during the winter window.
News about Rangers transfers
Rangers signed Mohamed Diomande on loan from Nordsjaelland, Oscar Cortes on loan from Lens, and Fabio Silva
on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers by the end of the window.
The Scottish powerhouses were unable in closing the deal for Fluminense left-back Jefte. Reportedly, the reason for
the breakdown of the agreement was Fluminense’s inability to terminate Jefte’s loan at APOEL Nicosia. The left-
back’s parent club was unwilling to pay APOEL’s demand of £500k to halt the transfer.
But that doesn’t imply there’s no hope left at all. Dean Jones reports that Rangers and Fluminense will hold open
discussions on a summer transfer for Jefte, who was demanding a change in January. “It’s always a nice sign if you
know that a player has been trying to cause a bit of a fuss to force a transfer to your club,” Jones stated to
GiveMeSport. Later on in the game, you should support that person.
That isn’t always how things turn out. Sometimes, that chance is lost. It has happened in a few well-known incidents
in the past. Joao Palhinha, for instance, was at one point close to joining Bayern Munich while playing for Fulham.
Jefte could finally be able to address Rangers’ left-back issue.
Naturally, Rangers pursued Jefte in an attempt to solve Philippe Clement’s left-back dilemma.
The Gers may not have a left-back at all at the end of the season since Borna Barisic is expected
to leave at the conclusion of his
contract this summer and Ridvan Yilmaz’s Rangers future is questionable.
And Jefte might be able to help there.
The 20-year-old’s age and improving potential mean he might soon establish himself as an Ibrox long-term
alternative.
Jefte’s performance in the Scottish Premiership thus far this season has been impressive,
as seen by his three goals and four assists while playing full-back.
With no loan club involved for the left-back, a summer transfer should prove to be much simpler.
However, it is unclear if Rangers will be able to come to a deal with Fluminense and
the player in time for the upcoming transfer window.
