According to a recent report, Rangers have agreed to sell a “blistering” forward for £2 million, meaning Philippe Clement will likely lose one of his young attackers this month.
News about Rangers transfers
On Wednesday, the Gers return to Scottish Premiership action when they host Aberdeen at Ibrox. They know that a victory will cut the lead to leaders Celtic, but only by 13 points. Rangers’ 2025 campaign has been extremely erratic thus far, which has put additional strain on Clement, who is aware that a loss or draw to Aberdeen could mean the end of his tenure at the team.
There may be some departures planned in the next days of this transfer window as the Scottish team looks to maybe expand their roster this month. According to a report by Football Insider, Rangers may try to sell Cyriel Dessers, a striker, this month. The forward, who makes a lot of money for the team, has been in and out of the lineup lately. The Gers may “sacrifice” Dessers because Italian team Cagliari is interested.
Another Rangers player drawing interest is Vaclav Cerny, who will return to Wolfsburg after his loan in Scotland expires, with West Ham United leading the race to sign him. Rangers’ prospects of completing an agreement after this loan become more difficult because Villarreal is also interested in signing the Czech international, making the Hammers the only team interested in doing so.
For the “blistering” forward, Rangers accept a £2 million transfer bid.
According to Football Insider, Rangers has agreed to loan Rabbi Matondo to an unidentified European team with a £2 million buyout option, thus Dessers is not the only player who could depart this month.
Kris Boyd described Matondo’s speed as “blistering.” He joins Ibrox from FC Schalke 04 in Germany in July 2022. The 24-year-old joined the German team after graduating from Cardiff City’s academy and being signed by Man City at a young age. However, the move didn’t exactly work out.
Matondo has spent his three seasons at Rangers dipping in and out of the team, unable to make an impression. The Gers are now prepared to let him go. According to Football Insider, Rangers and an unidentified European club have agreed to a loan exit; nevertheless, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland may also make approaches for him.
The winger is now anticipated to depart on loan after Rangers declared him available for a transfer; the club has the option to make the transaction permanent for an additional £2 million. With only three starts under Clement, Matondo has dropped down the hierarchy and has only played eight games across all competitions this season. His most recent league appearance was a 1-1 draw against Dundee.
