The San Francisco 49ers are on the verge of finalizing their takeover of Rangers, with the deal expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
Key figures involved in the transaction received their first formal proposals at the start of the week, and the process has now been fast-tracked, with an end-of-May completion likely.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter at Ibrox under 49ers ownership. According to sources speaking to Rangers Review, negotiations are progressing well, and the deal is expected to be sealed within the next couple of months.
The acquisition by the 49ers could be a game-changer for Rangers both on and off the pitch, especially given the American franchise’s data-driven recruitment strategy, which could bring significant changes to the club.
Paraag Marathe has also dismissed concerns that Rangers could become a feeder club for Leeds United, despite the 49ers’ ownership of the EFL Championship side, which is on track for Premier League promotion.
