In an intriguing development, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Rangers and a player have “reached an agreement” regarding a move to Ibrox during the January transfer window.
News about Rangers transfers
With a vital 1-0 victory over St Mirren on Saturday afternoon, the Gers maintained their chances of winning the Scottish Premiership title. Away from the activity on the field, more moves may occur in the next few days to improve their prospects of winning the entire season; agreements have already been reached for Mohamed Diomande and Fabio Silva.
Jefte, a 20-year-old defender for Fluminense, has been linked to a move to Ibrox; the youngster may be considered an improvement over Borna Barisic, the team’s left-back at the moment. Million Manhoef, a 22-year-old defender for Vitesse who has scored four goals and provided one assist in the Eredivisie in 2023–24, is another player who has been predicted to join Rangers soon. Another left-back that is viewed as someone who can step in and strengthen that part of the pitch is Gijs Smal, a Dutchman.
From now until the end of the January transfer, it appears that Rangers will concentrate mostly on it, and an important update about their business has surfaced.
Jefte is almost signed by Rangers.
Rangers are reportedly close to finalizing the acquisition of Fluminense left-back Jefte; an agreement has been reached to sign him this month, according to Romano on X.
This is excellent news for Rangers, as Jefte is a player who may play a significant role in their long-term future and left-back is a priority position this month.
The Brazilian, who is only 20 years old, is still a very young player without senior-level experience. He hasn’t even played for Fluminense in the first team, but as the years go by, he might develop into a better football player, starting out as a squad member. He has made 25 appearances for their Under-20 team, contributing six goals (two goals and four assists) during that period. He has also scored seven goals in 20 games for APOEL Nicosia.
Securing the signing may be crucial if Barisic leaves Rangers before the conclusion of deadline day on Thursday. There have been rumors of a move to Serie A powerhouse Roma and a possible Galatasaray signing for Ridvan Yilmaz.
