Rangers transfer limbo as reported £2m Ibrox deal potentially hits snag

Rangers transfer limbo as reported £2m Ibrox deal potentially hits snag

Jose Cifuentes‘ transfer to Rizespor may still fall through because it has been revealed that the midfield player for Rangers is not interested in moving to Turkey.

Over the weekend, there were reports claiming that Rangers had accepted a £2 million loan-to-buy offer for the Ecuadorian

international, who had had a difficult time adjusting to life in Glasgow. It was then reported that Cifuentes is in control of the situation

and that the Super Liga team is prepared to bring the former LAFC star in, with the Gers expected to turn a modest profit on the 24-

year-old. However, it now seems possible that the plan will backfire due to rumors that Jose Cifuentes isn’t very excited about moving to Rize.

Not a fan of moving to Turkey, Jose Cifuentes

Derek Clerk, a journalist for Rangers Review, stated on X that even though the Gers accepted the Rizespor transfer offer, Jose

Cifuentes is not interested in moving to Turkey. As the window gets ready to enter its final 72 hours, Clark is also clear that fans should

expect outgoings.

The tweet is being sent against the backdrop of intense transfer rumors at Ibrox, where multiple moves by the team are anticipated in

the final days of the transfer window. Following the potentially season-ending injuries to Danilo and Kemar Roofe, Rangers are

searching for a new striker option. Over the weekend, Ibrox scouts witnessed Hearts’s star player Lawrence Shankland score another incredible goal.

The Rangers’ transfer situation is still undetermined.

Although Jose Cifuentes may not be amenable to a transfer to Rizespor in Turkey, it is evident that Rangers are prepared to let go of the World Cup star from Ecuador.

Rangers could make a little profit of £800k on the midfield player if the deal goes through, as he is expected to join for a reported £1.2 million from LAFC in the summer.

But with Sam Lammers having already left Ibrox, should Jose Cifuentes be leaving, it would be an acknowledgement that the team made a mistake in its summer transfer business.

Cifu, who hasn’t been spotted in a Rangers uniform since the 3-2 victory over Real Betis in Spain, undoubtedly never benefited from joining late in the summer transfer window.

Competition is also intense in the middle of the park with the Rangers adding Mohamed Diomande and players like Ryan Jack and Nicolas Raskin making their injury comebacks.
