In a huge trade, Rangers has now reached an agreement to sign the club captain of a UEFA Champions League team.
A star player is currently en route to Ibrox as Philippe Clement looks to bolster his team in an effort to dethrone Celtic as the Scottish Premiership champions in the upcoming season.
Who has the Rangers decided to sign, then? Let’s examine this.
Rangers and Robin Propper reach a deal.
Rangers have reportedly reached an agreement to sign FC Twente No. 3 Robin Propper, according to a report from the Daily Telegraaf.
This is a “heavy blow” for FC Twente, according to the Dutch news agency, ahead of their UEFA Champions League qualification encounter against Red Bull Salzburg.
The exact sum that Rangers will pay for Propper is not disclosed by the Telegraaf, but it is reported that FC Twente would receive “several million” pounds in exchange.
According to reports, FC Twente did not want to lose the 30-year-old this summer, but they also had no plans to stop him from completing what is referred to as the central defender’s “dream” transfer.
Propper appears likely to depart FC Twente three years before his contract expires in July 2027. Propper made 40 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring three goals.
Leon Balogun and Ben Davies will be anxious.
This is one of those signings that all fans really like.
With 378 career matches under his belt, Propper is an extremely seasoned player whose leadership abilities should help him succeed in Glasgow.
Having captained FC Twente at the age of thirty, Clement will undoubtedly be able to handle anything is thrown at him and won’t need to gradually ease the guy from Arnhem into his side.
Since the arrival of a seasoned, senior option, Ben Davies and Leon Balogun ought to be worried about their spot in the starting lineup, in our opinion.
It is likely that the Dutchman will not be benched at Rangers to retain his position as FC Twente’s captain, thus one of the aforementioned two will be benched.
Keep a watch on this scenario, as Propper’s move to the Rangers is not finalized until he passes a medical exam.
