How much are Rangers paying for Mohamed Diomande?
A number of publications have indicated that Rangers will pay £4 to £4.5 million for Diomande. Danish site Tispbladet, however, believe the eventual fee could be closer to £6 million.
£5.7 million to be precise.
Tipsbladet add that Nordsjaelland will insist on a sell-on clause in Diomande’s contract. As such, if the Ivory Coast under-21 international impresses in Scotland and earns himself a mega-money switch to a more deep-pocketed club later down the line – a la Nathan Patterson or Calvin Bassey – Nordsjaelland will receive a substantial windfall.
A graduate of the same ‘Right to Dream’ academy which honed the talents of West Ham’s Mohamed Kudus before he also made his name in Denmark, Nordsjaelland are set to lose a player who has been labelled one of the finest midfielders in the division by head coach Johan Thorup.
As Tipsbladet point out, however, FCN would rather sell Diomande to Rangers now than risk lose him to their American-based sister club San Diego FC in 2025, potentially for a far lower fee.
“Listen, Mohammed is one of the best midfielders in Denmark. He has been absolutely fantastic for us this season and I hope that most people can see that.”
Diomande joins Wolves loanee Fabio Silva at Ibrox. Funds permitting, Rangers could still look to bring in a forward to replace the ‘long-term’ absentee Ibrahima Sima. A left-back may be required too if Ridvan Yilmaz joins Galatasaray.
