Breaking News: Rangers ‘thrilled’ to sign £6k per week prolific striker who has scored 6 goals in 20 matches so far in the Pro League
Cuypers. The Rangers-linked striker has secured a club-record move away from KAA Gent.
Considering the amount Chicago Fire ultimately had to pay to transfer Cuypers across the Atlantic, it’s astonishing
that Ibrox was even considered as a possible landing spot.
According to reports, the Illinois-based group might pay an astounding £12 million, add-ons included. A price that
surpasses the agreement that saw Xherdan Shaqiri, a former winger for Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool, march into Soldier Field in 2022.
Rangers’ pursuit of Cuypers was real and serious, according to Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri, who downplayed the
club’s interest in Emmanuel Dennis and Steven Alzate at the beginning of the window.
Once it became apparent exactly how much Chicago Fire were willing to pay in order to blow their rivals out the
water, however, Rangers’ hopes of welcoming one of the most prolific forwards in European football to Glasgow quickly went up in smoke.
Rangers linked striker seals club-record transfer
According to the MLS website, Georg Heitz, the sporting director of the Chicago Fire, said,
“We’re thrilled to welcome Hugo Cuypers to the club.”
“We have put a lot of effort into finding a striker who is in the prime of their
career and has a strong goal-scoring record in a very competitive league.”
Cuypers most definitely is. He comes after scoring 16 goals in the first half of the current season, after he scored 34 goals for Gent the previous season.
“Over the past few seasons, Hugo has been among the top goal scorers in the Belgian first division. Heitz continues,
“And he had a very strong desire to join the Fire and help us achieve our goal of becoming one of the top clubs in
MLS, despite receiving interest from other teams.”
Hugo is going to be a really valuable addition to our team, we are sure of it. When the 2024 MLS season gets
underway in Chicago, we are excited to have him there.
New faces make their mark at Ibrox
At least Rangers were able to bolster a skilled but unreliable front line. After joining on loan from Wolves, Fabio Silva
made his debut in the 3-0 victory over Livingston last week. Meanwhile, Oscar Cortes made an impression against
Aberdeen at home a few days ago while starting off the bench, earning praise from Philippe Clement.
