Despite a busy transfer window, the striker merry-go-round at Ibrox hasn’t yet come to life.
According to reports, Lille is now examining other targets, putting Rangers striker Hamza Igamane’s transfer to Lille in peril.
After scoring 16 goals for the Light Blues in his first Scottish Premiership season, the Moroccan striker international has piqued the curiosity of the Ligue 1 team.
However, Lille seems prepared to move on from the agreement amid a dispute, with Rangers’ new owners 49ers Enterprises holding out for a large pay day in Igamane, with a valuation of £15 million set on the 22-year-old.
Even though Igamane has already agreed to personal terms with the club, reports in France indicate that an offer will not be formally made to the Scottish Premiership team until “common ground” is achieved on an asking price.
Despite “discussions ongoing” between the two clubs, the club is allegedly reportedly “studying other profiles besides that of the Moroccan international.”
With 20-year-old striker Vivaldo Semedo expected to arrive from Udinese, L’Equipe also anticipates another striker deal to take center stage after the arrival of Olivier Giroud from LAFC.
In addition to Lyall Cameron, Max Aarons, Joe Rothwell, and Emmanuel Fernandez are already at Ibrox this summer after the former Dundee player accepted to a pre-contract agreement last season.
Conor Coady, Nasser Djiga, and Thelo Aasgaard are all expected to sign, but manager Russell Martin has hinted at additional deals in the days ahead.
Amid the 49ers’ American revolution, reports from south of the border indicate that Premier League legend Jamie Vardy is amenable to joining the team; nevertheless, Wrexham poses a threat.
Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have to approach at least one possible summer addition, according to boss Phil Parkinson, who hinted at contact with the 38-year-old after questioning the striker.
“We’re looking to sign a player and we’ve got a lot of competition to get the signature,” Coy Parkinson stated in an interview with the New Zealand news site Stuff.
“I spoke to Rob and Ryan about it so they put a call in to the player as well, explained the back story and why we wanted them.”
With a move to AEK rumbling on, Cyriel Dessers is also expected to play a significant role in the summer business.
After Record Sport originally disclosed that Dor Turgeman was on the ibrox shortlist, it was reported that the money collected for last season’s top scorer could finance a move for the Maccabi Tel Aviv player.
