It wasn’t until the announcement that Rangers and the player’s parent club had reached an agreement that the club’s interest in Jefte was made public.

Before APOEL decided to pull the plug, it appeared as though Gers manager Philippe Clement had secured the left-back that would enable us to cash in on Ridvan Yilmaz.

Since then, though, there has been another development that may allow Rangers to bring Jefte to Ibrox during this transfer window.

Rangers may get another chance at Jefte

The news that Fluminense has loaned another young player to the Cypriots may have been a favor to Clement.

In a move that may have repercussions for Rangers, left-sided defender Cipriano moved to Europe after teammate Jefte.

The pieces are in place for this one, but clubs don’t have much time left in the transfer window to bring in reinforcements.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Rangers and Jefte have reached an agreement; therefore, to terminate the loan agreement, all that would be required is to settle on a sum with APOEL.

This would then allow Nils Koppen greater leeway in terms of releasing Ridvan Yilmaz.

We still have more than a week left in the Turkish transfer window, so if Jefte was at Ibrox already, we would have the upper hand.

Being in this position is advantageous because there isn’t a pressing need for a left-back, but regardless of any verbal agreement, it

would be wise to bring in the 20-year-old right away before he draws more attention and his price increases. Although calling is

worthwhile, we shouldn’t let it derail our efforts to bring in a striker if there’s any chance of doing so before 11:30

p.m. In any case, Rangers supporters should find the final hours to be highly engaging, Jefte or not.
