Breaking news: Rangers can forget about Jordan with move for…
Glasgow Rangers play their opening Premiership match of the 2024/25 season this week, yet it is fair to say that Philippe Clement is far from finished with his transfer business.
The Belgian coach may have made eight signings already this summer, but his activity in the window could be summed up by the players he hasn’t signed.
The club were heavily linked with defender Jose Córdoba back in May, but the centre-back decided to make the move to Norwich City instead.
Then there was winger Yusuf Kabadayi, who looked to move to Ibrox in June before deciding to remain in Germany ahead of the new season – another blow for Clement.
This is the nature of the transfer market, but there is no doubt the club have not exactly had the best of luck when it comes to convincing players that Scotland is best placed for further development.
The latest update surrounding the club’s transfer activity is hardly the best news with the league season just around the corner…
Rangers miss out on La Liga midfielder
The majority of the summer arrivals have been younger players who can spend their time in Glasgow getting better, hopefully generating the club a massive profit in the process.
While this new strategy has been a long time coming, Clement still requires a few experienced heads in the starting XI. This is where Joan Jordan comes in.
Midway through June, Fabrizio Romano claimed that the Light Blues had seen an opening proposal for the Sevilla midfielder rejected. Seville-based insider Fernando Serrano offered a fresh update not long after, saying the club were ready to make a new offer for the player, remaining undeterred in their pursuit.
On the weekend, it appeared that the Gers and Sevilla had agreed a deal for the 30-year-old to join the club on a season-long loan with a £3.4m option to buy clause inserted into the deal.
