Rangers may need to enter the market to sign a replacement for Emmanuel Fernandez in the summer transfer window.
Fernandez has garnered interest from the Premier League after an impressive debut campaign at Ibrox.
Rangers will be looking to make at least eight times what they paid if they are to part ways with the 24-year-old in the coming weeks.
Five players have been shortlisted for Player of the Season…
Who should win it in your view, and why?
Gilberto Batista is available for £2.6m this summer
According to O Jogo, Rangers are keen on securing the services of Moreirense centre-back Gilberto Batista this summer.
The Portuguese club are keen on retaining the 22-year-old’s services and have even put a contract offer on the table for him to sign.
However, he has not made a decision on his future yet, and if he is to leave, the Gers will have to chalk up a £2.6m fee for him.
James Tavernier is set to leave Rangers…
Will Rangers regret not retaining his services? Tell us why!
Batista, a Burkina Faso international, still has another year left on his contract at Moreirense.
If he does not sign an extension, the club will have to sell him for even less in January, so a summer exit cannot be ruled out.
Rangers could lose Nasser Djiga along with Fernandez, making it imperative to sign new centre-backs.
This would open the door for the Light Blues to secure the services of Batista, who is open to leaving.
How can Batista fit into the Rangers system?
Standing at 6ft 2in tall, Batista is good in the air and is also composed with the ball at his feet.
He is naturally right-footed but is capable of playing passes with his weaker foot as well.
The Burkina Faso international is also known for his no-nonsense defending, making a high number of clearances per 90 minutes.
He has already established himself as a regular in the Portuguese top flight and will undoubtedly be a good fit for Scottish football.
Signing him for £2.6m would be good value for money as his valuation will only increase in the coming years.
At that stage, he will be out of reach, so it makes sense for the Gers to bring him to Ibrox.
