Rangers reach verbal agreement with Bayern munich defender -report

A wide range of left-back prospects were strongly linked to the Ibrox team as speculation over Ridvan Yilmaz at Ibrox grew.

The Turkish international ultimately decided to stay at Rangers despite strong interest from Galatasaray,

and the Gers are happy he did,

as David Jurasek eventually moved on loan to Hoffenheim.

But did Rangers miss out on a chance to sign the Czech international star given the situation since the January transfer window?
Has David Jurasek’s bullet missed the Rangers?

To put it briefly, most likely. If the Rangers were ever interested, that is.

The connections to David Jurasek, who had joined Benfica from Slavia Prague for approximately £12 million in the summer, vanished almost as fast as they grew moss.

Rangers could have been interested in Brazilian left-back Jefte this January,

but they used cronies to squash the news.

However, as Galatasaray refused to meet Rangers’ expectations about Ridvan Yilmaz and an attempt to sign the APOEL star fell through,

an anticipated winter of transition went by with nothing changing.

The Benfica left-back would not have played in the Europa League.

Instead, David Jurasek relocated to Hoffenheim,

where he has found it difficult to establish himself. The same as when he was in Portugal.

Jurasek has been off the bench in the last three games for Hoffenheim,

although he has not yet started a game for the German team.

It comes after a dismal first half-year with Benfica, where the 23-year-old left-back for the Czech Republic was limited to just six league outings.

Rangers have also been pleased with Ridvan Yilmaz’s rise,

as he has firmly established himself as Borna Barisic’s left-back substitute.

Rangers’ Round of 16 draw with Benfica in the Europa League implies that Ridvan Yilmaz would not have played if he had moved on and Jurasek had been signed to take his place.

All of this suggests that Rangers are content with how things went in January,

but since Borna Barisic’s contract expires in the summer, a left-back change may be on the horizon.
