Rangers are allegedly in pole position to grab another attacking boost for Philippe Clement this summer, having previously signed Jefte and Oscar Cortes. Rangers Transfer News The Gers have wasted no time in getting business started, with goalkeeper Liam Kelly allegedly on his way to replace Jon McLaughlin, who departed the club as a free agent at the end of the season.
Clement is expected to make significant changes, having bid goodbye to Ryan Jack, Borna Barisic, Kemar Roofe, and John Lundstram, as well as McLaughlin, at the end of the season to make place for potential newcomers.
One of those incomings could be another offensive boost. If the Gers are to dethrone Celtic next season, they will need all of the star power they can get, and the arrival of one attacker in particular might help a lot.
Rangers are expected to sign Albion Rrahmani this summer, according to Digisport, after the club’s scouting director Nils Koppen met with the FC Rapid striker’s representatives. The Gers are apparently willing to pay €6 million (£5 million) to recruit Rrahmani this summer, which is €2 million less than Rapid’s €8 million (£7 million) value of the 23-year-old.
“Extraordinary” Rrahmani can finally replace Morelos
It could be argued that Rangers have failed to find another striker as impressive as Alfredo Morelos since his departure last summer. The Colombian consistently hit double figures for goals at Ibrox and a player of similar calibre in the form of Rrahmani could quickly prove to be the difference for the Gers in pursuit of dethroning Celtic next season.
The Kosovo forward scored 19 goals and assisted five times in all competitions in Romania last season, demonstrating the type of talent that Rangers can now see for themselves this summer. As a result, Cristiano Bergodi, the previous Rapid manager, did not ignore the forward’s leaving rumours, telling Digisport: “Rrahmani played well; he is a fantastic striker. It’s understandable that he has offers. I’m not thinking about leaving. There are nine games that will determine my destiny as a coach and his as a player.
“Of sure, he’ll go in the summer. He may depart. If he has an offer, no Romanian player is unavailable. He must focus on having a successful season because that is how he will be remembered by the agencies and clubs.
