Four days ago, Sport Witness covered a report from Spain of Rangers’ desire to sign the winger.

He has a €10m release clause in his contract with the Segunda División side, that runs until 2029.

Rangers on verge of signing 

Monday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo picks up on that and covers the latest on Rangers. The 20-year-old is ‘one step away’ from joining Derek McInnes’ side.

Within the report, the newspaper says the South Korean is ‘very close’ to leaving Girona for the Scottish club.

Trabzonspor have also shown interest in Kim Min-su, but Rangers have made the strong push to get ahead and beat the competition.

His €10m release clause gets a mention, and the Ibrox club will activate it to sign the South Korean.

Why Rangers have to pay clause 

Girona signed the attacker for their academy in 2022 and promoted him to the first team in 2024.

Kim Min-su has so far made eight appearances, and two are from this season. The La Liga 2 side sent him on loan to FC Andorra last season, who are also in the Segunda División.

He impressed at Andorra, scoring six goals and contributing four assists from 40 matches. To put it in context, the Rangers target had a direct role in just over 16% of Andorra’s goals [62].

Since returning to the Catalan club, Kim impressed during pre-season and also in the first two league matches.

Girona had no plans of letting the player leave in this window. Therefore, Derek McInnes’ side have to trigger the clause to bring him to Ibrox. The forward’s impending sale to Rangers is as a sporting blow for the Spanish club.

The newspaper says: ‘After returning from his loan spell at Andorra, Minsu was one of the standout players in the new project and had generated a lot of excitement among the fans, who were hoping to see him take centre stage this season.’

At the same time, it allows Girona to improve their finances. The transfer is expected to be made official in the coming hours.

The post Rangers transfer to be announced soon as they beat competition appeared first on Sport Witness.

Celtic initially stepped forward for the Algerian towards the end of the January transfer. This was promptly rejected by the Italian club, as the player was keen on staying beyond the winter window. The decision paid off, as the attacker was key in helping them seal promotion to the Italian top-flight.

This summer, Rangers have also stepped forward for the winger. Sport Witness have covered how they offered €10m for the signature, right after Celtic offered €6m.

The player has also been linked with a move to France in recent days but could be set to stay at Frosinone.

President addresses Ghedjemis’ future

Frosinone president Maurizio Stripe spoke at a press conference on Thursday, where he addressed Ghedjemis’ situation.

The Italian revealed that Celtic and Rangers have shown interest, but the Serie A club will not sell the player. They need a significant rise from suitors to consider his departure.

He said – via TuttoFrosinone: “Is Gheddjemis for sale? As I’ve always said, we don’t consider him for sale. If I had been left alone, it would have been an option worth considering. With the partnership with Clara Vista, a transfer is not envisaged. Then it’s clear that there is a market in which the player wants to, there are offers to be considered and there must be the possibility of replacing a player we consider very important. 

“At the moment the offers are insufficient, despite the fact that every day someone increases by €50k. They haven’t understood that if they don’t take a significant step, we’re still at the beginning, like in the game of snakes and ladders. The player looks at the clubs that are interested in him, there’s Monaco, Besiktas, there was Celtic and there were Rangers.”

Player wants new challenge

Stripe also clarified that Ghedjemis has been considering an exit but that doesn’t always lead to a transfer.

“I understand the player’s mentality, they are all ambitious goals that can tempt him, but then there is also the will of the shareholder who says my intention is not to sell. At the moment the conditions are not there but then we will have to reconcile everything because it’s not right to keep a disgruntled player, it’s unfair for him to give up that kind of money if he has the chance to earn it. 

“At the moment, however, there’s no desire to sell him, no offers are worth considering, there’s a player who has expectations but isn’t quite finding his way.”

Our take: Scottish clubs being outpriced

The Italian press had been certain that Frosinone’s demand for Ghedjemis stands at €15m right now. The offers from Celtic and Rangers were much lower and Stripe’s comments will not make things easy.

There is a rising possibility of him staying with them and playing in Serie A. This will escalate his value and it could rise well above €15m. This will attract major clubs in Italy and beyond.

So if Celtic and Rangers still want the 23-year-old, they should act fast.

Earlier this month, the Scottish club came close to signing the centre-back’s teammate, Couhaib Driouech.

Rangers had reached an agreement and Couhaib made a trip to Scotland to complete his move to Ibrox, before the move collapsed. PSV director Ernest Stewart has explained at length why the winger’s transfer didn’t go through.

Rangers return to PSV 

Derek Mcinnes’ side have returned to the Eredivisie side, this time for Adamo Nagalo.

Africa Foot report the Ibrox club have added the 23-year-old to their target list.

He joined the Dutch club in 2024 and has played 12 matches, mainly in his preferred role as a centre-back.

Earlier this year, the Burkina Faso international joined Konyaspor on loan and played 13 matches.

Rangers to face competition 

That seems to be enough to convince the Ibrox club as the outlet says their ‘interest is real’, which could soon be converted into an approach.

There’s no clarity on whether Rangers are looking to sign him on a permanent move or on loan.

Derek Mcinnes’ side aren’t alone as Konyaspor and Çorum FK are also keen on securing his services. These clubs are likely to fight for Adamo Nagalo’s signature in the final weeks of the window.

The defender hasn’t made an appearance in the first two matches of this season. He has a contract until 2029, and Transfermarkt value him at €2.8m.

PSV Eindhoven are ‘currently working on a solution’ for his future, indicating they are open to letting him leave.

Africa Foot end their report by stating: ‘This situation will continue to develop in the coming days. A potential offer from Rangers to PSV Eindhoven could now move the discussions forward.’

Rangers can capitalise on the uncertainty around Nagalo’s situation at PSV and sign him, either on loan or a permanent transfer this summer.

The post Rangers have ‘real interest’ in signing – Ibrox club can advance negotiations with offer appeared first on Sport Witness.

At the weekend, Sport Witness covered claims from Belgium of their genuine interest in the Rangers defender. Derek McInnes wouldn’t want to see the left-back leave Ibrox this summer.

Meanwhile, the Jupiler Pro League side have been keen on signing the Crystal Palace man to improve their attack.

Crystal Palace transfer not going through

On August 4th, we relayed news of the Eagles rejecting an €8m plus €2m bid for Romain Esse, who had agreed on personal terms with Club Brugge. He is their main target for the attacking position.

Three days later, Sport Witness covered claims that Crystal Palace are willing to cooperate and made a counter-proposal to the Belgian club.

Het Nieuwsblad covers the latest on the possibility of the 21-year-old and Rangers’ Tuur Rommens ending up at Club Brugge in this window.

There was confidence the England U21 international would join the club and the operation was ‘close’.

However, they couldn’t find an agreement with Pierre Sage’s side in the ‘final stretch’. In other words, the two clubs couldn’t narrow the gap in valuation.

Therefore, Club Brugge ‘no longer wants to beat around the bush’, meaning they will focus on other attacking targets. For now, Esse has a very slim chance of moving to Belgium.

Stance on Rangers player 

Ivan Leko’s side are looking for market opportunities to strengthen other areas of the pitch.

This includes the left-back position, and their plan is to replace Bjorn Meijer. Rangers’ Tuur Rommens and Werder Bremen’s Olivier Deman have emerged as contenders.

The 23-year-old Ibrox player spent his entire career in Belgium before joining Rangers from KRC Genk in January. However, Club Brugge have no plans to sign him or Deman in this window.

According to Het Nieuwsblad, the Belgian club don’t have the Rangers player and Deman on their short list. That should please Derek Mcinnes and the Ibrox club.

The post Crystal Palace exit collapse in ‘final stretch’ – Stance on signing Rangers player made clear appeared first on Sport Witness.

The Scotsman has grown in stature significantly at Bologna. He has now played 135 times for the Serie A side, captaining them in the Champions League and the Europa League. A serious knee injury didn’t stop his progress, as he played 41 times in Serie A and the Europa League combined last season.

Some weeks ago, Sport Witness covered comments from Ferguson’s agent about his client’s future. He clarified that the player would prefer a move to England or stay in Italy, ruling out a move to Rangers.

However, the player has himselfopened up on his desire to play for the Ibrox club.

Ferguson has Rangers dream

The Scotland international has an interview in Monday’s print edition of Corriere dello Sport regarding a host of things about his current situation.

When asked about a possible renewal, Ferguson said: “I haven’t thought about a renewal. My focus right now is football; I don’t want to think about contracts or anything else. Then, if there’s something to discuss, we’ll talk.”

Further, the 26-year-old described Rangers as his favourite team.

“It’s my favourite team, and I’ve always said I want to play for Rangers. One day, though I don’t know when yet, it will definitely happen if I get the chance.”

He also spoke about his love for Glasgow but also revealed his attachment to Bologna.

“It’s my second home now. Glasgow, where I grew up, was my first, but here I immediately felt welcomed by everyone. My family is also here; my second daughter was born in Bologna and is called Lorena, an Italian name.

“I liked it, and it’s in honour of Lauren, my sister, who died before I was born.”

Ferguson also spoke about new Bologna manager Domenico Tedesco and offered an insight into his methods.

“Yes, I have positive feelings. I like how Tedesco wants to play and how he sees football.

“We did a bit of everything – build-up play, pressing without the ball, how to create, whether there’s pressure from the opposition or not, low blocking, medium blocking, and much more.”

Why Rangers may have to wait

Lewis Ferguson’s rise to prominence means that he would indeed be more affordable for English or Italian clubs. In 2028, when his contract expires, he’ll be 28 and Bologna still have the option to renew his deal by a more year.

This suggests that a move to Rangers would have to wait. The player could well be waiting for one more big jump to another club. Bologna are the perfect club to allow that, having seen Dan Ndoye, Joshua Zirkzee and Riccardo Calafiori make big moves to England.

Ferguson may also want that, which is something his agent has indicated already. So while Rangers should be alert to his situation, this may not be an immediate things.

The post “I want to play for Rangers” – Player goes public with desire for Ibrox transfer appeared first on Sport Witness.

That’s according to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri. He took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to cover the Jupiler Pro League side’s interest in the Rangers player.

Manchester United links impacting Rangers

The British press have talked about the Red Devils wanting to sign the 21-year-old this summer. Earlier today, Sport Witness covered claims from Belgium that Manchester United didn’t contact Club Brugge.

However, their manager, Ivan Leko, said he’s proud of the reports linking him to the Old Trafford club. His side want to retain the defender, but the manager isn’t certain.

He said: “If there’s a lot of money on the table, it’s obviously not easy to say no. The board’s aim is still to build a team that’s even better than last season. The right time to leave will come. Tzolis has proved that. Let’s hope they’re all still here in September.”

The uncertainty around Seys has seen the Belgian club identify the Rangers man as a target.

Club Brugge approach Rangers

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Club Brugge have ‘genuine interest’ in Tuur Rommens and have contacted Derek McInnes’ side.

They made an approach to ask about the 23-year-old’s situation at Ibrox and the terms of a potential summer transfer. There’s no mention of a figure, and Transfermarkt value him at €7m.

As things stand, the Belgian club haven’t sent an offer to Rangers. The journalist states their interest in the Ibrox fullback could be because of Joaquin Seys’ possible exit.

He comes up with this report hours after the Club Brugge manager raised doubts about losing Seys following the Manchester United links.

The Jupiler Pro League side could be worried about claims of Manchester United’s interest, in Seys and are focusing on his replacement. Should Michael Carrick’s side decide to bet on him, it may impact Rommens’ immediate future at Rangers.

The Ibrox club have been linked with the Moroccan in recent weeks as Rangers’ manager Derek McInnes looks to add to his attack.

Earlier today we covered reports the Scottish Premiership side are looking to close a deal for the player. They want to do so quickly, especially after Celta Vigo nearly hijacked the transfers.

Over the past few days, Rangers have stepped up their efforts to sign him. The Eredivisie side rejected their initial offer and demanded €7-8m.

Het zou gaan om een bedrag van €8,5 miljoen

Rangers reach agreement

PSV and Rangers have now reached an agreement over the main points of the transfer.

Following their initial offer for the Moroccan U23 international, the Ibrox club are prepared to pay up to €8.5m.

A deal will come down to the forward and weather he wants the move. There is no indication what personal terms will be offered to Driouech.

Rangers face competition

Rangers will be keen to wrap up a deal of the PSV player with recent reports Celta Vigo are also monitoring the situation. The Spanish club want to bring in a forward ahead of the new season.

Driouech doesn’t have a future at PSV and is likely to be offloaded this summer.He’s much liked around the squad and has been useful when needed. However, with players coming from injury, his role will diminish.

The youngster made 38 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring seven goals. He’s contracted to PSV until June 2029 after signing for the club in 2024.

Meanwhile, Eindhovens Dagblad report Rangers have a full agreement with both PSV and the player.

Over the past few days, the Ibrox club have stepped up their efforts to sign him. The Eredivisie side rejected their initial offer and demand €7-8m.

Three days ago, we relayed news PSV increased the price further to €8-8.5m, after Celta Vigo made an attempt to hijack Rangers’ operation.

McInnes’ side didn’t give up and have returned with an improved bid. Earlier today, Sport Witness covered claims of Rangers offering around €8-8.5m. The forward is on the verge of leaving, and the La Liga side could launch a new attempt.

Rangers closing in on agreement

Journalist Rik Elfrink now claims PSV Eindhoven have all but finalised an agreement with the Ibrox club.

Eindhovens Dagblad cover more on Rangers’ ongoing advances to complete the player’s transfer this summer.

The Dutch club are nearing a preliminary agreement with Derek McInnes’ side for Couhaib Driouech.

Multiple clubs have come forward to sign him and he seems to be on his way to Rangers for around €8m.

Rangers need player’s approval 

The Scottish club are yet to agree personal terms with Couhaib Driouech. Celta Vigo have shown willingness to table a convincing offer, but that hasn’t happened yet.

He has to decide whether to wait for the La Liga side or accept a move to Ibrox. ED are not clear whether Celta have given up on him.

Rangers ‘want to reward him handsomely’, meaning to tempt him with a convincing salary to join them.

Driouech has no future at PSV Eindhoven, and the latter have a preliminary agreement with Derek McInnes’ side. Rangers can wrap up this operation if he were to give a green light for this operation.

Key transfer points

• Rangers were working on completing Driouech’s signing
• PSV, after rejecting Ibrox club’s initial bid, raised the price to €8-8.5m
• McInnes’ side have preliminary agreement with PSV for €8m
• Player’s approval pending 

The post Rangers reach preliminary agreement – Ibrox club tempting player with salary appeared first on Sport Witness.

Last week, the Scottish club made an initial offer and PSV, who turned it down, requested €7-8m.

There was an expectation for Rangers to return with a new offer to please the Dutch club.

Four days ago, Sport Witness covered claims from the Netherlands that the forward is open to joining McInnes’ side. They are also working on finding a quick agreement with his club, but that hasn’t happened yet.

A day later, we relayed news of Celta Vigo’s attempt to snatch the 24-year-old from the Ibrox club’s clutches. This has seen PSV raise their demand to €8-8.5m.

Rangers target on his way out 

The Dutchman has a contract until 2029 and his value, as per Transfermarkt, is €7.5m.

However, Couhaib Driouech’s immediate future will be away from the Eredivisie side as Eindhovens Dagblad states he is ‘on the verge of being sold’ this summer.

There’s no mention where he will move next or about Rangers, Celta Vigo or any other suitors.

New attempt from Rangers

Journalist Rik Elfrink covered this report, and he took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share fresh updates on Derek McInnes’ side.

According to Elfrink, Rangers continue to pursue the PSV Eindhoven man and have now raised their offer to €8-8.5m. The Dutch club reportedly requested this figure to sanction his sale.

He adds there’s expectation Couhaib Driouech’s future will be soon, as the La Liga side are also keen on making a move.

Rangers would have an easy route to sign him if Celta Vigo don’t react quickly by offering at least €8-8.5m.

Last season, Driouech managed nine goals and eight assists from 40 matches.

Key transfer points

• Rangers keen on attacker, already submitted offer
• PSV rejected it and demanded €7-8m before raising it to €8-8.5m
• Driouech close to leave Eredivisie side, Ibrox club make new offer
• Celta Vigo still keen, no advances yet from La Liga side 

The post Rangers pursue signing with improved offer – Player on verge of transfer appeared first on Sport Witness.

Earlier this week, Sport Witness covered that the Ibrox club put forward €10m for the Algerian’s signature. This Rangers offer was promptly rejected by Frosinone. It came only days after an offer of €6m from Celtic met the same fate.

Luca Bendoni clarified the Italian side demand a figure of €15m to consider Ghedjemis’ sale. They see him as a key part of their project, with the player having helped them seal promotion to Serie A last season.

Chances of deal reducing

FrosinoneToday report that Ghedjemis is the most sought-after player in the newly promoted Serie A club’s squad. They hold a belief that he will not move this summer and it will take something special from Rangers and Celtic at this point.

As a result, the idea of him moving to Scotland ‘appears increasingly remote’.

The outlet also trash a rumour from England which has suggested that Rangers have had a fee of €11m plus bonuses of €3m accepted by Frosinone. This is denied and it is reiterated bids from both Rangers and Celtic have been rejected ‘without any particular hesitation’.

Frosinone are very comfortable in their position and won’t accept anything below €15m. That is a threshold which no club in Scotland or elsewhere has reached yet.

Our take: Deal indeed looking difficult

Frosinone’s stance has only been strengthened by their promotion to Serie A. With the player’s contract running out in 2028, it gives them significant control over his situation right now.

Besides, Ghedjemis is only 23 and one good season in Serie A will add further to his reputation. It will help him attract clubs in Italy or in the Premier League, who will be able to pay more than Celtic or Rangers.
