Rangers improved Danny Röhl’s squad as four new players arrived at Ibrox in the winter market.
New signings Ryan Naderi and Andreas Skov Olsen have already scored for Rangers, while Tuur Rommens has managed an assist.
Röhl’s side are second in the table, two points behind leaders Hearts, and a point ahead of third placed Celtic, who have a game in hand.
Rangers are fighting for the title this season and are also working on improving their squad in the summer.
Rangers in picture for Coulibaly
The Ibrox club have now set their sights on US Lecce’s Lassana Coulibaly. That’s what Africa Foot are reporting, and Rangers are one of the contenders to sign the 29-year-old.
Africa Foot name the Scottish club in a report mainly focusing on Saudi interest in the midfielder.
Al-Fateh SC have come forward to sign the Mali international and made him their main target.
He joined the Serie A side from US Salernitana in August 2024, after spending three years with the latter. The player, who has established himself in Italy over the last five years, has played 61 matches for Lecce.
Coulibaly is also a regular for the national team and played four matches at AFCON. His performances in Morocco have attracted Al-Fateh’s interest, and the club have internally approved his profile for the summer.
The Middle East club have had positive discussions with his camp and are optimistic of finding an agreement with Lecce. The report adds Lecce would be open to letting the player leave for €4-5m.
Al-Fateh face competition from Röhl’s side and others
The Saudi Pro League side aim to finalise this deal quickly, mainly due to the increased competition. This is when the Ibrox club are mentioned.
Africa Foot report Rangers, Trabzonspor, Red Star Belgrade and unnamed Italian and Spanish clubs are also keen on Coulibaly.
In short, Rangers are in the tussle to sign him, and Röhl’s side can bring him to Ibrox by offering €4m to Lecce.
