Rangers football club transfer market activity

Overview

Rangers have experienced several setbacks in their efforts to secure new players during the transfer window.

Initial attempts to sign winger Jahnoah Markelo from Coventry City failed after Shabab Al‑Ahli finalized a deal, while a pursuit of defender Scott McKenna from Dinamo Zagreb collapsed due to demanding terms. Subsequent efforts also faced difficulties, including a rejected £7 million bid for Brighton & Hove Albion attacker Amario Cozier-Duberry, as the Premier League club showed no intention of sanctioning the winger's exit. Negotiations for Fares Ghedjemis also ended after Frosinone’s valuation of between £13 million and £17 million proved too high, as meeting that figure would have exceeded the club's 26-year transfer record. Additionally, a deal for Couhaib Driouech from PSV Eindhoven failed following dissatisfaction with medical results.

As the transfer deadline approaches, the club has shifted focus toward new targets. Negotiations are reportedly in advanced stages with RSC Anderlecht for Norwegian midfielder Thelo Aasgaard, potentially involving a loan with a six-million-euro purchase option. To address defensive needs following an injury to Tuur Rommens, the club is linked to Motherwell left-back Emmanuel Longelo. Furthermore, Rangers are monitoring Ferencváros striker Lenny Joseph, a Haitian international whose transfer fee is estimated at approximately €6 million.
