Ibrox Latest : Rangers set to announce the signing of Italian defender rated the next Paolo Maldini on a free transfer

Rangers are interested in signing FC Twente left-back Gijs Smal, who will be available on a free transfer this summer.

According to 1908.nl, Philippe Clement’ team is one of those interested in signing the defender when his contract expires.

According to reports, the 26-year-old is eager to take the next step in his career and is in high demand, with Rangers’ rivals Celtic also keen in the January transfer window.

They need to sell Borna Barišić or Ridvan Yilmaz first, but Celtic has shown interest and told him “what they can offer.”

It is uncertain if they were successful in convincing him that Celtic Park should be his home.

But Brendan Rodgers and his squad have made an attempt to do so.

They are not the only team interested in Smal; Feyenoord and KAA Gent have both approached him.

However, the Dutch team did so after Celtic, hinting that the Scottish giants may be somewhat ahead in this emerging contest.

They are said to have made ‘one of the best bids’ for Smal, but Celtic may need to boost their game if they really want him this summer.
