Rangers held talks over £2.5m deal and forgotten man hasn’t started a game since

Following Rangers’ failure to sign the Nottingham Forest player in the summer,

Jonathan Panzo is still having trouble, and there are rumours that his loan at Cardiff City may not last long.

When Cardiff City’s roster was announced last weekend, there was no shortage of conjecture,

with Jonathan Panzo’s noticeable absence from the squad during their 4-0 FA Cup third round

thrashing at Sheffield Wednesday creating a stir.

According to the Bluebirds’ assistant coach, the defender’s absence owing to ‘an agreement’ with his parent club,

Nottingham Forest evidently keen to prevent a situation in which the 23-year-old finds

himself cup tied ahead of a prospective change of scenery during the January window (BBC Sport).

It appears more and more likely that you’ll want to switch around your surroundings, including your clubs.

Rangers needed Nottingham Forest’s Jonathan Panzo

Panzo, who supposedly discussed a £2.5 million transfer to Rangers last summer,

has only made five appearances since switching to Cardiff.

The former Chelsea player hasn’t even made a start in a Championship match.

Therefore, it should not come as a surprise to learn that Panzo’s stay in South Wales may be coming to an end.

According to Daily Mirror reporter Darren Witcoop, who wrote on X, Panzo may be leaving with

goalkeeper Alex Runarsson, who is owned by Arsenal,

and forward Ike Ugbo, who was once linked to Rangers.

Wales Online was informed in December by Cardiff manager Erol Bulut that “a possible exit for Panzo) can happen.”

“We have choices. We shall look at another (defender) if this occurs.

Out of favour at Cardiff City

Panzo, according to the Daily Record, was one of Mick Beale’s primary objectives for the summer of 2023.

Furthermore, the way that many of Beale’s acquisitions have performed since arriving in Glasgow,

Sam Lammers, for example, returning to the Netherlands after contributing

just two goals and two assists in 31 games,

and Panzo’s struggles in South Wales don’t seem to indicate that

he would have ended the disastrous run of misguided acquisitions

under Philippe Clement’s predecessor at the Ibrox.
