Rangers fans could be in for a treat this week as Michael Beale’s transfer plans begin to take shape; Cyriel Dessers, Sam Lammers, Jonathan Panzo and Jose Cifuentes all said to be close.
If the Gers gaffer can get seven players in before July, added to Todd Cantwell and Nico Raskin, his squad for 2023/24 won’t be far away.
Rangers are reportedly on the verge of spending in the region of £10m on Dessers, Lammers, Panzo and Cifuentes in what could be an exciting week at Ibrox.
The black BMW X7 used to taxi players from Glasgow Airoport to Ibrox could be doing a few shuttles this week if the i’s can be doyted and the t’s crossed.
Who could Rangers fans see this week in Michael Beale rebuild?
Panzo, at £2.5m, is the left-sided utility defender that could allow Ben Davies and Borna Barisic to depart.
Jose Cifuentes is the missing piece in Michael Beale’s jigsaw as he looks to re-energise his midfield and will cost £750,000 to £1.5m according to the Four Lads Had a Dream blog.
Dessers and Lammers, for around £3.5m each, look like being the two main strike targets to add more quality and goals to the front three.
Last season might not have seen the pair produce great figures, however, their CVs are impressive in terms of who they have played for.
To have the whole of the transfer window to focus on departures from Rangers would be a huge boost for Michael Beale given how much money he has to save and how many bodies he has to move on.
With a squad built, trimming the dead wood would become a priority as would being able to have all of his players in place for training towards a £30m Champions League shoot-out later in the summer.
Four signings in one week? It could be just like when Dick Advocaat was in charge.
