Mohammadi has two more years left on his contract with Gent, and according to the report, both Marcelo Bielsa’s side and Rangers should not be put off by the player’s ‘hefty price’. 

Het Nieuwsblad are of the belief the defender’s sale should help the Belgian side earn around €7m.

For now, the newspaper only explains Leeds and Rangers’ interest in Mohammadi, and they don’t stress which club is ahead in the race to secure his signature.
