Local report claims Rangers face transfer battle in hunt for player with £69m release clause

According to a recent local source from Portugal,

Rangers are reportedly interested in signing David Jurasek,a left-back for Benfica.

A fresh left-back option for Rangers’ lineup is reportedly being sought

after in light of extensive exit reports involving Turkish international Ridvan Yilmaz.

Despite beginning the mid-season friendly defeat to Hertha Berlin,

Yilmaz has been prominently linked with a loan move to Serie A side Verona.

And now, according to a number of reports,

Gers are considering making their own loan move for David Jurasek, a great player for Benfica.

Rangers and David Jurasek are related.

Rangers are considering a move for David Jurasek, according to reports that first surfaced in HITC,

where journalist Graeme Bailey provided an exclusive report.

The three-times capped Czech left-back, 23, joined Benfica in a £12m (€14m) deal from

Slavia Prague in the summer but so far he has made only six league appearances under boss Roger Schmidt.

Additionally, it’s reported that Benfica has an incredible €80 million (£69 million) release clause over the defender.

Alvaro Fernandez from Manchester United is reportedly nearing a loan-to-buy deal with the Portuguese powerhouses.

If the agreement materialises and there’s a reported £8.6 million option included,

it might potentially allow Rangers to get a temporary move for David Jurasek.

But while Ibrox supporters begin to focus on the Czech star,

reports of Rangers’ apparent interest in the left-back are also emerging from Portugal.

Interest in Benfica left-back is high.

An article in a Portuguese publication Rangers are reportedly interested in signing David Jurasek,

according to a Bola.

Additionally, it says that Marseille, a team in Ligue 1 that looks to be gaining ground on Josh Doig,

the left-back for Verona, was also considering signing the Czech player.

Rangers will now wait for the Alvaro Fernandez domino to fall before making their move.

It appears that Rangers have informed Benfica of their interest.

As things stand, though, nothing is spoken or done, and Jurasek,

who has a significant reputation, is being pursued by more than just the Rangers.

The left-back position in Glasgow is becoming increasingly competitive,

but before anything can happen,

a Brazilian star’s £17 million move to Saudi Arabia appears to be a crucial domino that must fall first.
