‘We’re saying goodbye’: The club has confirmed that the Rangers target is leaving after receiving a “strong” offer from Ibrox

The truth wasn’t really a secret. However, it’s still good to know for sure. One of the Rangers’ main summer targets will be free this summer.

Free agents aren’t really free, though.

No matter when a player’s contract ends, there are still agent fees, signing-on fees, and wage demands that are often higher because there is no transfer fee. Although Connor Barron won’t get an insanely high signing-on bonus like Kylian Mbappe does when he joins Real Madrid (£85 million), Rangers also wouldn’t be able to just grab the highly-rated midfielder without spending a dime.

The Daily Record says that Rangers would still have to pay Aberdeen a fee, but it would be a lot less than what the player is worth on the market. Rangers could be taken to court if they can’t agree on a fee. Barron is now free to sign a contract at Ibrox.

To get Connor Barron, the Rangers want to win the race.

There is a “strong offer” for Barron to move to Glasgow, and he is likely to decide next week. In the English Championship, Swansea City, Cardiff, Stoke, and Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle are all fans of him.

Italy is also interested. Bologna, which is going to the Champions League, wants to get into Scottish football again after the success of Aaron Hickey and Lewis Ferguson as captain.

After that, no one knows where Barron is working in 2024 or 25. But Aberdeen is not going to be it.The Dons confirmed on Friday that the Scotland Under-21 international is one of several senior players who will be leaving in July. These players include goalkeeper Kelle Roos and former Celtic winger Jonny Hayes.

A statement on the Aberdeen website says, “Now that the 2023–24 season is over, we can fill you in on our first team squad for the coming season.”

“We are sad to lose Kelle Roos, Connor Barron, Anthony Stewart, and of course Jonny Hayes from our first team.”

“The club made Connor a number of offers to try and keep him at Aberdeen.” He has chosen, though, that his future will be somewhere else.

Aberdeen confirms that their star midfielder is leaving.

Would Barron choose the Rangers? If so, he would do what Scott Wright and Ryan Jack did. It looks like he will be a good fit to replace the latter, since the former Aberdeen captain is leaving the team, making room for an aggressive, all-around central midfielder like Barron.

Barry Ferguson, who has led Rangers to five Scottish Premiership titles, would love to see one of the best young players in the country follow in his royal blue footsteps.

After all, Ferguson has criticised his old team for not making better use of local talent, since Josh Doig, Hickey, and his nephew Lewis all left Scotland to play for other teams.

As the race to sign Barron heats up, Ferguson now tells Go Radio, “I think he’s a good young player.”

“Will he really make the Rangers midfield stronger?” It’s hard when you play for a team like Aberdeen and have a lot of responsibility. What people want and expect…

“But he plays well.” I think I would go with the price and give him a chance. I have been impressed by Aberdeen when I have seen him.

“But going to Rangers is a whole other story.”

Clement’s team also wants to sign another Scottish free agent. In the summer, keeper Liam Kelly will be leaving Livingston.

Rangers to accept big money offer ‘too good to turn down’ for exit-linked defender, according to report

The Rangers Review says that the team might be tempted to take an offer for Ridvan Yilmaz.

The online news source said on June 13 that the Gers are not actively trying to sell the left back in order to make room for summer transfers.

Things might change, though, if the right offer comes along.

It costs money to keep Yilmaz at the club. Philippe Clement wants to spend the rest of his career with the 23-year-old, but that could change if the club gets an offer they “couldn’t refuse.”

Philippe Clement will want to keep Ridvan Yilmaz at Rangers.

This summer, Clement will try to keep Yilmaz.

The defender did a great job for the Belgian until March, when he got hurt and couldn’t play anymore. The fact that the Gers’ form dropped in April and May shows how Yilmaz changed the team.

He has been hurt a lot during his two seasons with the team, but the Rangers Review says that the Gers are sure that those problems will be fixed during pre-season.

If the club keeps Yilmaz, they will have two very good left-back options now that Jefte is there.

That depth could be very important for Clement’s team next season as they try to take the Scottish Premiership away from Celtic.

There have been rumours that Yilmaz might leave the club. On June 10, the Turkish newspaper Sabah said that Besiktas had made an offer to re-sign the player.

Ridvan Yilmaz could remain at Rangers this summer

Yilmaz’s agent, Necdet Ergezen, told Gokmen Ozcan on June 10 that the player has no plans to go back to Turkey right now, which suggests he would be willing to stay at Ibrox.

Rangers to shell out £7.7m to seal new deal

Rangers want to sign Damian Garcia for £7.7 million.

It looks like Rangers will have to pay around £7.7 million to get Penarol midfielder Damian Garcia.

Ibrox wanted to sign the 20-year-old player, according to a report from Football Scotland on June 5th. It is likely that Nils Koppen had talks to sign him in Cancun.

But if Gers still want to sign him this summer, things will be harder because Dario Alberti says he will sign a new deal that lasts until 2026.

The reporter for Sport 890 said that they would add a £7.7 million release clause to the deal to protect their own interests.

In a tweet, Alberti said, “Tomorrow, Damián García’s contract with Peñarol will be renewed until December 2026.” Their pay will go up, and they can leave for a US$10,000,000 fee. It was over for Ruglio and Lasalvia on their trip to Mexico.

Rangers aren’t likely to spend a lot of money on Damian Garcia.

Garcia is only 20 years old, so he hasn’t shown much talent yet, especially outside of Uruguay.

He has shown promise in his home country, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be able to do the same in a more competitive league like the Scottish Premiership.

Garcia has also not yet made a big name for himself on the international stage.

Even though he played well in the under-20 World Cup, the demands of senior club football are very different from playing youth international football.

Rangers would be taking a big risk by putting that much money into a player who hasn’t played much yet.

Trying to get Damian Garcia doesn’t fit with the Rangers’ plan for making transfers.

Gers should instead focus on talented people who have already been around for a while.

The club doesn’t have a lot of money to spend on transfers, and it would be a waste to spend a lot of it on a player who is still learning the game.

There are probably cheaper options that can help the first team right away.

🚨 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.

One more thing that needs to be thought about is Philippe Clement’s suggestions. If he can’t take the club to the next level, he will be held accountable.

Ibrox view: Rangers are getting close to deciding whether to bring back Abdallah Sima, and Brighton is about to set a record-setting goal score

Since Brighton is about to hire a new manager, Abdallah Sima will soon know if his future includes going back to Rangers.

The Senegalese forward was a great addition to Glasgow’s team last season. He scored 16 goals across all competitions while mostly playing off the left wing, even though he was hurt for three months from January to April.

That return is a big part of how many goals Michael Beale and Philippe Clement scored last season, which makes a deal to keep him at Ibrox appealing if it works out financially.

There have been several public statements by Sima saying that he would like to stay at Rangers if an agreement can be reached between the two clubs.

Rangers Review said on June 6 that he probably wouldn’t be told about his future until Brighton hired a new manager. They fired Roberto De Zerbi at the end of the season, and now they’re about to do that.

Fabian Hurzeler will take over for Roberto De Zerbi at the Amex

Sky Sports reported on June 9 that the Seagulls had gotten Fabian Hurzeler, the manager of St. Pauli, a work permit. If he takes over at the Amex, the 31-year-old will become the youngest Premier League manager ever.

After a day, Fabrizio Romano said that the German is likely to sign a deal down south in the next 48 hours, while talks on a compensation deal for the record-breaking move continue.

It’s clear that what Hurzeler plans to do with Sima will have a big impact on the 22-year-old’s future. If the coach doesn’t see him in the plans for next season, it would make it more likely that he comes back to the Rangers.

The wide player hasn’t played for his parent club yet because he moved to the Light Blues after loans at Stoke City and Angers.

Derek Ferguson of Ibrox News, on the other hand, isn’t sure if the club can afford to sign Sima to a permanent deal because he thinks it would cost eight figures.

It would cost a lot to sign Rangers for good.

Because they bought him for £6 million from Slavia Prague in 2021, the Seagulls probably won’t want to let him go for free. However, The Athletic reported at the time of the original deal that there was thought to be an option for an extra year.

If Hurzeler doesn’t think Sima is ready to play in the Premier League, and the player has made it clear that he feels at home at Rangers, Brighton could choose to exercise his contract option and let him come back on a second loan deal, unless they get a better offer from somewhere else.

As a result, the English club is almost certain to get a new manager, which will be a big step towards Sima finding out where he will play next season.
