Rangers target Yusuf Kabadayi is travelling to the United Kingdom to discuss personal terms with the Ibrox club ahead of a prospective transfer, according to The 4th Official. Speaking on the Bluenose Bulletin on YouTube, the podcaster stated that Bayern Munich winger Kabadayi’s trip to the UK for additional negotiations with the club signals that he could be a Gers player next season.
Lecce was also regarded as a frontrunner to sign the 20-year-old former Schalke loanee [SchalkeZone], but Kabadayi’s meeting with club officials within the next 48 hours suggests that he is leaning more towards the Light Blues. The fourth official stated, “[It’s] by no means a done deal.” However, according to what I’ve heard, Kabadayi will be flying into the UK for additional talks with Rangers over the next 48 hours. “If personal terms can be agreed, then Kabadayi may well be a player for Rangers coming into the new season.”
Kabadayi transfer could address problem position at Rangers
Rangers had a plethora of wide players at their disposal last season, yet several of those options flattered to deceive, particularly on the biggest stage against teams like Celtic.
Wolves loanee Fabio Silva was lambasted on a near-weekly basis by pundits for his inconsistency, while Kemar Roofe could no longer make the impact of old and failed to win a contract extension.
Abdallah Sima, on loan from Premier League Brighton and Hove Albion, provided a huge bright spark in 40 appearances before suffering an injury just as the Gers’ late-season form began to deteriorate.
All three of the aforementioned players are no longer part of the Ibrox fold, having been released or returned to parent clubs respectively, and thus the potential signing of Kabadayi is an early sign that Clement is far from satisfied with the attacking options at his disposal without players like Sima.
Kabadayi, if he can accept personal terms, would be a strong signing to kick off the Gers’ summer business in the attacking third, but after finishing eight points and ten goals behind arch-rivals Celtic last season, Rangers will understand that much more is required to help bridge the Old Firm gap.
