There might be a full-time agreement at Ibrox in the works.
Philipe Clement is a fan of the player in question, and Rangers are keen to finalize the permanent signing of this “infectious” player this summer.
News about Rangers transfers
With a two-point advantage over Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, the Gers remain unbeaten in what looks to be an exciting final stretch of the campaign.
In recent weeks, Rangers have been associated with carrying out significant transactions, and in the summer, a permanent transition for Abdullah Sima may be planned. Brighton is willing to approve a high-profile transfer for the 22-year-old, as the Seagulls are seeking to pay him between £10 and $15 million.
Rangers will accept Sima’s record-breaking signing, subject to one requirement
One thing is likely to happen before the move.
If the Gers pay more than the £12 million they did for Tore Andre Flo in 2000, they could perhaps smash their transfer record in the upcoming window.
In other news, Clement is rumored to be considering a double move for Rapid Vienna’s Leonard Querfeld and Matthias Seidl. The coach views the youthful defender and midfielder as potential summer targets who might improve the squad’s depth and caliber.
Lum O’Hare, an offensive midfielder for Coventry City who has so far this season contributed nine goals (six goals and three assists) to the Championship, is another player the Scottish powerhouses are considering.
Update on the permanent Fabio Silva agreement for Rangers
Now, Football Insider reports that Rangers intend to sign Fabio Silva permanently this summer. If they qualify for the Champions League in the upcoming months, they may receive financial support to finalize the transaction.
As per the source, Clement is keen on fortifying his team this summer, and if Rangers manage to secure the league title, they can anticipate a hectic summer filled with transfers. Inspired with what he’s seen thus far, the manager “admitted that he would like to make the deal permanent”.
Following the Europa League match against Benfica, Clement again gave Silva high marks, saying:
He possesses his traits and is becoming increasingly adept at managing his feelings. We talked a lot about that, that it’s the next step for him to take.
“I am really happy about how he handled the game in Lisbon because it was a hostile situation with a lot of attention towards him. To prove to everyone that he is a talented player, he nevertheless played for the team. He played to be good player for Rangers and that’s important to me.”
Signing Silva for good has to be looked at as a priority piece of summer business for Rangers, not only because of the ability he already possesses but also due to his long-term potential.
While it feels as though he has been around for a while, joining Wolves in 2020, he is still only 21 years of age, and Connor Goldson waxed lyrical over his teammate soon after his arrival at Ibrox in January, saying:
“I can’t say too much because we haven’t done certain exercises or played 11-vs-11 scoring goals but the way he works in training is infectious, his pressing is infectious.”
Granted, Silva is more than likely going to cost Rangers a lot of money if they want to make him a high-profile permanent addition at the end of the season, but it could be worth the gamble, considering he has already made a positive impact, scoring twice in four Scottish Premiership starts.
Whether the Gers would be able to afford both Sima and Silva remains to be seen – Champions League qualification is essential if there is to be any chance of that happening – but the idea of both being at the club for years to come is exciting.
