According to Fabrizio Romano, the agreement to send midfielder Jose Cifuentes on loan from Rangers

to Cruzeiro is practically finalized and scheduled for signature shortly.

On Sunday, February 4, the Italian journalist tweeted that the Brazilian team and the Germans had

verbally agreed on a temporary swap for the Ecuadorian international.

The 24-year-old chose the South American team over two offers in Europe, he said,

because he wants to be a consistent starter for the forthcoming Copa America.

Jose Cifuentes not in Philippe Clement’s Ibrox plans

It’s become quite clear that Cifuentes is not in the plans of Philippe Clement at Ibrox, so there was no point in Rangers needlessly keeping him around.

There will be great disappointment from all parties that the move hasn’t been a success after

they worked hard to bring him in from LAFC last summer.

The Gers stumped up a reported £1.2million to secure his services just months before

his contract with the MLS side was set to expire.

Romano did not say whether or not the transaction contained a buy option, but on January 31,

Ge Globo revealed that the Light Blues were considering adding a £2 million option to buy.

In any case, the midfielder hasn’t left much of an impact over the last six months, therefore

it seems unlikely that he will ever step onto the Ibrox pitch again.
