Rangers-linked Boca Juniors winger Luca Langoni faces a fitness sweat ahead of this weekend’s Superclasico clash with River Plate.
The iconic Buenos Aires derby is slated to take place this Sunday (25/02) at 5pm local time (8pm GMT),
with Rangers fans taking a keen interest due to their links to Langoni.
However, the 22-year-old is racing against time to be fit for the match,
with Rangers hoping to grab a glimpse of the youthful South American.
Rangers were linked with Luca Langoni in the January transfer window, alongside Fulham, OGC Nice, and Sevilla.
Luca Langoni faces the Superclasico fitness sweat.
While teammate Marcos Rojo appears to be failing his fitness test ahead of the encounter,
the buzz surrounding young Argentine winger Luca Langoni is more favorable.
According to El Chorriello, Boca Juniors is hoping Langoni may rejoin his teammates on Wednesday before the match on Sunday.
This comes after the teenager suffered a knee injury during Boca’s 2-1 loss to Lanus earlier this week.
Rangers fans will be looking attentively to see if youthful Luca Langoni can rise to the occasion against River Plate,
with the legendary Buenos Aires Derby undoubtedly reminiscent of the Old Firm.
Life in the Glasgow goldfish bowl is strikingly comparable to life in the Superclasico derby,
and if a player can thrive in BA, he’s a perfect fit for Rangers vs Celtic.
Rangers eye Boca Juniors winger
Rangers have been linked with Luca Langoni, as the club places a greater emphasis on players from rising markets such as South America.
The Ibrox club has already recruited promising Colombian winger Oscar Cortes on loan from RC Lens,
and manager Nils Koppen is said to be keeping an eye on the continent.
The plan is for Rangers to sign the continent’s top young talent, whether from Argentina,
Brazil, or Colombia, before flipping them for a profit to a bigger league.
Rangers are not the only ones, and Luca Langoni may already be beyond the Ibrox club’s reach.
According to reports, the winger has a £13 million release clause at Boca Juniors, and clubs such as AS Roma are interested.
