Rangers Target has release clause revealed with Portuguese giants to rival Celtic

Boca Juniors boast a substantial release clause over Rangers-linked Argentina winger Luca Langoni – with Portuguese giants Benfica the latest side to join the hunt.

Rangers are reportedly among numerous teams interested in Luca Langoni,

a right-winger from a southern Buenos Aires neighborhood who is 21 years old.

The winger is one of several South American connections the team has in the January transfer window;

new recruitment director Nils Koppen acknowledges the team is heavily involved in these areas.

Reports from the player’s home country could put a dampener on any hopes that Ibrox fans may have for making a bid for the gifted young attacker.

Luca Langoni is signed to the storied club until 2027,

but Boca Juniors has a €15 million (£12.9 million) release clause on him,

according to Argentine outlet TNT Sports.

This sum surpasses the £10 million that was previously asserted in Scotland.

Furthermore, Benfica, the Portuguese powerhouses,

are reportedly first in line to assault Argentina,

as the Lisbon team has a long history of presence in South America.

Transfer ties to teams like Fulham in England, Nice in France, and Sevilla in Spain are also mentioned in the article.

Rangers will be severely harmed to learn of the release clause because, in all likelihood, they would never pay that much for an unproven player in Europe.

It’s interesting to note that Dom Smith of the London Evening Standard was one of the alternate sources who connected Rangers, which helps to validate the connections.

Young Argentine players are becoming somewhat popular in the UK;

earlier this week, Brighton announced Valentin Barco, a Boca left-back prospect.

Julian Alvarez, the Argentine World Cup winner,

joined Manchester City from bitter rivals River Plate,

and young prospect Claudio Echeverri is expected to follow the similar path to the Etihad.

While Old Firm rivals Celtic made an uninspiring move to acquire Alexandro Bernabei from Lanus,

Chelsea spent a fortune to buy Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.

Rangers may be searching for Luca Langoni, an Argentine alternative of their own, but if the most recent reports from South America are accurate, Boca Juniors may be holding out for a sizable sum of money.
