Rabbi Matondo ‘gave’ a Bundesliga ally a way out of a Rangers transfer as Oscar Cortes’ domino effect grew.
Rabbi Matondo ‘gave’ a Bundesliga ally a way out of a Rangers transfer as Oscar Cortes’ domino effect grew.
With deadline day rapidly approaching, Bundesliga team Mainz 05 is apparently keeping an eye on Winger Rabbi Matondo’s
position and has supposedly been offered a Rangers exit path.
Due to injuries, the wide player for Wales has found it difficult to maintain a consistent starting position throughout his 18 months in
the Scottish Premiership. Despite making 19 appearances so far this season and scoring twice, it seems that he hasn’t won over
Philippe Clement, who is attempting to bolster his attacking third by adding Oscar Cortes from Lens.
And a deal to bring in the Colombian could clear the path for Matondo to leave Ibrox before the January window slams shut. German
outlet BILD claim that Mainz are reportedly to “open the door” to a loan switch with director of sport Christian Heidel an admirer –
having brought him to Schalke during his time at the Arena AufSchalke.
Heidel allegedly feels that his transfer to the Rangers “hasn’t paid off” thus far and that a last-minute agreement could help them avoid
relegation. When discussing his ambitions for Mainz before the transfer window ends, Mainz manager Martin Schmidt seemed to
imply that he would be aiming to recruit a player similar to Matondo.
“We need a player with creativity, pace, and goal threat,” he declared. A loan or someone whose contract is about to expire are the most likely options.
Additionally, it looks like Colombian Cortes may soon arrive after all; social media users have seen hints from the players’ reps. After
being given permission to depart his country’s U-23 squad’s camp in Venezuela in order to complete
his transfer to the Light Blues, the 20-year-old returned to Europe.
The people who would help Cortes relocate, Top Athlete Management, have recently started following Gers on Instagram. Fans’
conjecture that the third winter window arrival is drawing near has only grown as a result of this.
