Reported Rangers target has release clause as Portuguese giants enter transfer fray – report

Boca Juniors has a significant release clause in place for Rangers-linked Argentina winger Luca Langoni,

with Portuguese heavyweights Benfica joining the chase.

Rangers are reportedly one of several clubs interested in Luca Langoni,

a 21-year-old right winger from Buenos Aires’ southern suburb.

The winger is one of several South American links in the January transfer window,

with incoming recruitment director Nils Koppen acknowledging that the club is quite active in these areas.

However, for those Ibrox fans who are enthusiastic about a prospective move for the brilliant young attacker,

rumors from the player’s home country may be set to put a damper on things.

Rangers-linked Luca Langoni has a Boca clause.

According to Argentine website TNT Sports,

Boca Juniors has a €15 million (£12.9 million) release clause for Luca Langoni,

who is under contract with the iconic club until 2027.

This amount exceeds the £10 million claimed in Scotland.

Furthermore, Portuguese heavyweights Benfica are thought to be first in line for the Argentina attacker, with the Lisbon club having a strong history in South America.

The article also mentions transfer links with Sevilla in Spain, Nice in France, and Fulham in England.

The news of the release clause will be a significant blow to Rangers,

who will never pay such a big fee for a guy who has never played in Europe.

Interestingly, Rangers were linked by Dom Smith of the London Evening Standard,

providing some legitimacy to the links.

Young Argentine players are currently in vogue in the UK,

with Brighton signing Boca left-back Valentin Barco earlier this week.

Manchester City bought Argentine World Cup champion Julian Alvarez from tough city rivals River Plate,

and young sensation Claudio Echeverri is expected to follow suit at the Etihad.

Chelsea spent a million on Enzo Fernandez from Benfica,

while Old Firm rivals Celtic signed Alexandro Bernabei from Lanus, albeit with disappointing results.

Rangers may be looking for their own Argentine alternative in Luca Langoni,

but if the recent claims from South America are right, Boca Juniors could be asking for a considerable amount.

Langoni has made 45 appearances for Boca and scored ten goals.
