Ibrox View: Rangers are likely to allow the forward to be sold after hearing about transfers in the last 48 hours
Rangers might try to get rid of Cyriel Dessers, even though they just bought him last summer, if they sign Hamza Igamane soon.
Philippe Clement is said to want to add more attackers this summer, and it is thought that a big chunk of the budget could go to someone like Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland, who is a big favourite of the Belgian. [Give Me Sports]
According to the Scottish Sun on June 16, if Gers are able to sign Igamane from FAR Rabat for £1.5 million, it could mean that they want to sell Dessers.
Rangers might let go of Cyriel Dessers for a good fee.
People know that Dessers is likely to leave this summer, and if two first-team strikers are signed, he will fall even further down the list of priorities. [Give Me Sports]
The Nigerian moved to Ibrox last summer and has had a mixed first season, with some criticising his play and ability to score goals.
The possible arrival of Igamane would give the club a new, younger forward option, which could mean that Dessers is no longer needed.
The 21-year-old Moroccan striker is known for scoring goals, dribbling the ball well, and being a physical presence on the pitch.
Because of his age, he is a long-term investment for the Glasgow club because he could become a great player.
When Igamane comes in, they might give their attack some much-needed energy and creativity, which would help them do better in both domestic and European games.
Rangers Damian Garcia doesn’t give up hope as a £3.1m transfer claim comes in after a handshake with a Mexican
It was always a little bit of an ambition when Rangers was linked to Peñarol midfielder Damian Garcia.
That’s true even though the 20-year-old Uruguayan defensive midfielder fits Nils Koppen and his team’s plans to rebuild the Rangers this summer.
There are young players ready to take the next step in their careers that the Rangers want to sign.
They want to win a lot at Ibrox and then pay the club a lot of money in player trades.
To fix this, Fluminense sent their Brazilian left back Jeffe, RC Lens sent their Colombian winger Oscar Cortes, and AC Milan sent their French centre back Clinton Nsiala.
Along with the hard work Rangers is putting into getting more players, news from Uruguay has given a more solid update on Damian Garcia’s future.
From where do Rangers Garcia links come?
Reports in South America at the beginning of June were the first to say that the Rangers had ties to Damian Garcia.
The Uruguayan player who won the U20 World Cup is not under contract until December, and Rangers are looking for players in South America. The links looked good.
The rumours got stronger when it was confirmed that Peñarol president Nacho Ruglio and Rangers director Nils Koppen were at the TransferRoom summit in Cancun.
The excitement really started to build when Heart & Hand said that Rangers are “keen” to make a deal.
But the player’s agent, a man named Edgardo Lasalvia, had said the whole time that the player would first sign a new contract in Uruguay.
This will make sure that Peñarol gets a fair price for helping Garcia grow at the club.
According to a report from Montevideo, Lasalvia said, “We have been talking, and I think we are going to come to an agreement.”
“They rest, especially vice-president Eduardo Zaidensztat, because they know I won’t take a free player from the club.”
“I’ll send it again, and we’ll enter through the big door.”
People can be sure that the players on the TMA team (their representation agency) don’t leave through the back door, away from the leaders. Peñarol is owned by the people, not the leaders.
Now, the most recent news from South America says that Damian Garcia is almost certain to sign a huge new contract.
Gers could pay less for a player.
Earlier this week, journalist Dario Alberti said that Peñarol and Damian Garcia were almost ready to sign a new contract that would give Garcia a big pay raise.
The DSports reporter from Uruguay also said that the details of a new deal were worked out at the TransferRoom meeting in Mexico.
It is said that Garcia will sign a new two-year deal with Peñarol. The midfielder is also said to have a $10m (£7.9m) release clause built into the deal.
🚨 ATENCIÓN: Mañana se firmará la renovación del contrato de Damián García con Peñarol hasta diciembre de 2026. El jugador tendrá un aumento salarial y una cláusula de salida de U$S 10.000.000.

A report in El Observador, on the other hand, says the player might be able to leave Uruguay for less than half of this amount.
Based on what Edgardo Lasalvia, Damian Garcia’s agent, said about the player’s worth, it’s thought that a fee of around $4m (£3.1m) could be enough to get the midfielder.
A 20% sell-on fee would be part of this. This protects Peñarol’s interests in case the property is sold again in the future.
That’s a more reasonable amount for Rangers, and Peñarol has made it clear that he won’t leave until the Uruguayan season ends in December. This is still something to keep an eye on.
For the sake of the club’s money and players, Damian Garcia was always going to make a deal with Peñarol this month.
Any idea that Rangers could make a deal this summer has always been a stretch, but the winter window could be very different.
Rangers agree to pay a high fee for an in-demand star player who is “like Sima.” The pundit responds, “Get Him In”
Derek Ferguson says that Yusuf Kabadayi could be the right player for Rangers to replace Abdallah Sima, who is currently on loan.
According to The 4th Official (June 9), the Light Blues have agreed to pay between £1 million and £1.5 million for the attacker. The next day, Chris Jack wrote in Rangers Review that the attacker from Bayern Munich was set to become the club’s fourth signing this summer.
Before Fabian Hurzeler was hired as Brighton’s new manager, Sima scored 16 goals while on loan at Ibrox last season. However, Brighton has not yet decided if Sima will return.
Kabadayi is only 20, and his only senior experience came in the German second division. Like the three players who came in before him (Jefte, Oscar Cortes, and Clinton Nsiala), Ferguson likes the way he looks and wants to make a move for him.
He only told Ibrox News, “I don’t think Schalke had a great season, but the boy played pretty well.”
“Again, I believe we’re talking about speed and strength, and he plays for Bayern.” You’re not at clubs like AC Milan and Bayern Munich if you’re not a great football player, like Nsiala.
“So if you want to make a deal, you let him in.” Also on the left side. I think he can play a lot of different roles up top.
“I’ve heard he has a little eye for goal as well.” I’ve been told that he’s a man who is over six feet wide and looks a bit like Sima.
“I want to keep Sima.” I don’t believe we will. “Why not? If he’s one of the guys they think could be the replacement, why not?”
Abdallah Sima was excellent on loan from Brighton but a potential return is unresolved
While they wait for the Brighton loanee, Rangers try to sign a player from Bayern Munich.
Kabadayi scored five goals in 26 games last season, which was good enough for Schalke to want to keep him. Other teams from Germany, Italy, and Rangers were also interested [Florian Plettenberg, 5 June].
The deal to sign Cortes for a long time helps fill in some of the gaps if Sima can’t be brought back, since the Colombian was originally loaned in January to replace the Senegalese player. However, Philippe Clement needs to add more attacking weapons, and Kabadayi is a much cheaper option.
Last season, the Belgian team lost a lot of players because they were hurt, so it would be good if they could get the German.
Transfer hits stumbling block as club ‘cannot afford’ to sign £3 million Rangers star
Rangers has already signed three new players and confirmed that five will be leaving on free transfers this summer. However, there haven’t been many talks about adding another player to Philippe Clement’s squad lately.
If it weren’t for his salary, which is said to be around £20,000 a week, clubs would be lining up to sign the £3 million man.
Rangers not only paid too much for a forward who had only scored nine goals in the three previous seasons, but they also got him in the summer. They also wrote a contract that made it nearly impossible for many people who wanted to marry Sam Lammers to do so.
FC Utrecht was able to borrow Lammers back to the Eredivisie in January without spending too much. But they can’t pay for a long-term deal.
People are interested in AZ Alkmaar. But while AZ should make more than £15.5 million by selling Vangelis Pavlidis, who shares the Golden Boot, Lammers’ pay package is again rather off-putting.
Rangers have a problem with Sam Lammers.
One and a half million euros a year at Rangers. “During his six months with Utrecht, the Scots have paid a big chunk of his salary,” Dutch reporter Hans Kraay Jr. told ESPN a few months ago.
“But in general, they won’t do that in the next season.” Naturally, Utrecht is not going to pay 1.5 million euros.
I’m told that he is very highly regarded at AZ as Pavlidis’ replacement. Additionally, Arizona will not pay that $1.5 million.
Football Club Twente is another team that likes Lammers. The Rangers misfit scored 10 goals in 18 games at Utrecht, getting back to his smooth, cocky best for the first time since that productive time at Heerenveen. That’s eight more than he scored in twice as many games in Glasgow, and it’s more than he scored for all of his other clubs combined from 2020 to 2024.
But Lammers’ contract at Ibrox is so big that Utrecht and AZ’s Eredivisie rivals FC Twente would find it easier to sign Wout Weghorst, a Dutch international who used to play for Manchester United.
Return to the Eredivisie hits a snag
“Of course, (Lammers) is being talked about at FC Twente,” Leon ten Voorde, a club expert, tells Voetbalpraat. “Himself is also a fascinating player.” But he’s very expensive.
“I think he might cost more than Wout Weghorst, both in terms of salary.” That’s not possible for FC Twente. Although FC Utrecht pays its players more than FC Twente,
There are, of course, possible ways to solve this problem. In one of those solutions, Sam Lammers would have to walk away from a ridiculously high-paying deal at Rangers and take a big pay cut at his new club.
Chang Junior thinks that Rangers might not want to let Lammers go on loan again, but they might if they think he can do well at Utrecht. This would increase the chances of a sale, which would help Clement get back a lot of Mick Beale’s £3 million investment in the long run.
One more player who could leave Ibrox is Ianis Hagi.
In the meantime, Rangers may want to sell more than just Lammers after he’s been away from Glasgow.Ianis Hagi needs to reset his life. And one might be given to him by a Celtic story.
But, like with Lammers, it’s harder to say no to taking Hagi away from the Rangers because of the money.
„Gheorghe Hagi was a huge player who was known all over the world. NBA legend and new Rapid Bucharest coach Neil Lennon told Sport Romania, “I can say that he is Romania’s national treasure.” He then praised Hagi Jr.’s famous father and sent a message to the player himself.
“I know Hagi is sometimes called “The King.” Although I won’t be the “Emperor,” I might be the “Prince!”
‘Come here, come to Rapid!’ I also tell Ianis Hagi. We may not be able to pay for it, but he is welcome to come to Rapid if he wants to.
He had a tough time at Rangers because he was hurt a lot, but when he did play, he was great. He is a great player. His presence is always welcome at Rapid.
“Please convey this message to him from my end.”
Rangers could sign up to 12 new players – Chris Jack
Philippe Clement wants to make a lot of changes to Rangers’ team this summer, so they could add up to 12 new players.
The Gers will likely make a lot of changes to their team during the first summer transfer window under the new Belgian manager.
A journalist named Chris Jack thinks that the number of new players will reach ten before the end of the transfer window.
He told Rangers Review on June 11: “Don’t be too down or worried about the quality of the signings that have been made so far.” I think that the squad will get more experienced. I also think that the team will get more leadership. This is something that both the manager and the recruitment team are thinking about.
“Rangers will try to do that, but keep in mind that they could make 10 to 12 signings during the window.” It needs a lot of work.
How much work does the Rangers team need to do?
Rangers mostly did well under Clement, but a slow finish to the season and a bad record in the Old Firm derbies meant they missed out on the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish Cup. They did win the Scottish League Cup, though.
Five players, Jon McLaughlin, Borna Barisic, Ryan Jack, John Lundstram, and Kemar Roofe, will be leaving the team when their contracts run out.
There are also doubts about the futures of several other first team stars, which could lead to a huge change in the team in just one window. Clement and Nils Koppen could be in charge of hiring most of the new team, and Rangers might not even be the same team by the start of the 2024–25 season.
With so much going on, Rangers must make sure they hire the right kind of players if they want to beat Celtic to the league title next season.
The news that a Rangers player is leaving after contract talks is called a “big blow” by a reporter
Dan Bardell thinks that Rangers did everything they could to keep John Lundstram before he left Ibrox for free this summer.
After his contract was up, the English player confirmed on Instagram (June 5) that he would be leaving the club “with a heavy heart.”
Some teams, like Ipswich Town [The Scottish Sun] and Trabzonspor [Daily Record], want to sign him for free.
Bardell is a journalist for Sky Sports and talkSPORT. He thinks that his leaving will be a blow after Philippe Clement confirmed that they are in early contract talks.
In an interview with Ibrox News, Bardell said, “I don’t think Rangers wouldn’t do everything they could to keep him.” I believe his fans like him as a player.
“It came as a bit of a surprise when they signed him. I thought he was a great choice for Rangers after a good season in the Premier League.”
“He wants to try something new, maybe go back to England or somewhere else, but I think it’s a big loss for Rangers to lose him.”
Rangers’ departure is confirmed by John Lundstram.
There will be a lot of new and old players at Ibrox this summer as the Gers make changes to their team.
Something had to give after a terrible end to the season in which Celtic beat Rangers to win both the Scottish Cup and the league title.
Clement has chosen to get rid of some stars whose contracts are up and put his own stamp on the team.
He was one of Rangers’ most important players this season, but they won’t have him next year.
Although it’s not clear where he will go, he will not be at Ibrox next season playing for Clement.
Philippe Clement is amazed by how beautiful Scotland is in these stunning vacation photos
Philippe Clement is enjoying some free time with his family in Scotland and is amazed by how beautiful it is.
The Rangers manager used the pre-season break to travel around the Scottish countryside and shared his thanks on social media.
He wrote along with a bunch of pictures, “Scotland, we love your beauty!”
Others said, “Enjoy every bit of it gaffer before you bring home the treble next season.” Fans loved the content.
Someone said: “Glad you both love our country, Philippe, keep up the good work you’re doing at Rangers.”
One more added: “Some very beautiful scenery in Scotland, enjoy every moment of it.”
Chris Jack: “Ready to move on”: Rangers star scorer could leave
Chris Jack says there are “doubts” about Rabbi Matondo’s future at Rangers as the summer transfer window opens at Ibrox.
When healthy, the Welshman has done well for Philippe Clement this season, but injuries and fitness problems have kept him from playing in all but seven Premiership games.
This summer, Clement is likely to add to his team. Several wingers have already been linked with moves to Glasgow, and Jack, a reporter for Rangers Review, says that both Matondo and Scott Wright could be sold.
On June 10, at 13:00, he talked on The Rangers Review YouTube channel: “I’m not surprised that Rangers are being linked with these kinds of players. They will go out and strengthen in these areas of the pitch.”
“These kinds of players are needed more because of how the manager wants to play.” There may be doubts about Rabbi Matondo and there are probably doubts about Scott Wright’s own future.
“That means you will need to bring in more wide players if the only ones you have are ready to leave.”
When does Rabbi Matondo leave Rangers? The summer transfer window opens at Ibrox.
Matondo is one of the most exciting players on the Rangers team right now when he’s healthy because he can change the course of a game with one move, like the wondergoal against Celtic.
But under Clement, he hasn’t been available enough this season. Because of this, the Gers might be willing to sell him this summer if the right offer comes in, especially since they have other players they want to sign.
Without rushing the 23-year-old to leave, Clement will not be pushing him to join another club. However, he may be open to negotiating a fee to help pay for his big summer rebuild.
Between now and the end of the summer window, this one might be worth keeping an eye on. As long as the door doesn’t close, anyone on this team could be bought for the right price.
