Winner named in Rangers and Hoffenheim transfer race for Benfica left-back David Jurasek

According to Football Scotland, Hoffenheim has defeated Rangers in the competition to sign Benfica left-back David Jurasek.

The media outlet stated on Friday, January 19, that although they want to bolster the left-back position, the international player from the Czech Republic is

not traveling to Ibrox.

Having just moved to Portugal this summer from Slavia Prague, the 23-year-old is set for different surroundings once again.

The report reads: “Left-back is a position Gers want strengthened but David Jurasek won’t rock up in Glasgow despite recent links. The Czech defender gets

ready to join Hoffenheim in Germany instead.”

Waste of time

Jurasek never seem like a likely option so if Rangers did actively pursue him regardless then it is a waste of time.

They have to explore the market, have a shortlist of three players willing to join and then see which one is the best option.

Whether or not Ridvan Yilmaz leaves, a new left-back needs to be signed as soon as possible as even Borna Barisic is facing an uncertain future at the club.

The 23-year-old would have been a good option as he’s attack minded and would be an upgrade on Barisic and Yilmaz.

However, that does not mean there aren’t similar players out there and scouts are paid money for exactly times like this.

Rangers lack the financial clout to sign players before elite teams in the top five European leagues or Premier League teams.

They must use modest names that would not catch the attention of these teams and then carry on with their operations.

In other Rangers news, there has been an update on the £4.8 million bid as progress is made in the Gers’ attempt to add a January player.
