In order for Michy Batshuayi to join his colleagues at the team’s winter training camp in Spain this week, Rangers hopes to finalize a deal in time.
The assertions coincide with reports that Rangers are in the lead search for the former Chelsea striker, who is rumored to be unwilling to sign a new deal with Fenerbahce.
The 30-year-old striker’s contract is set to expire in the summer, and the Scottish Sun has identified the Ibrox side as the favorites to pull off a “major transfer coup” by acquiring Michy Batshuayi.
Everton of the Premier League is also suggested as a possible loan destination; but, according to the article, Rangers manager Philippe Clement wants the striker to report for this week’s training camp.
Fenerbahce is expected to lose Michy Batshuayi.
Rangers is getting ready to go for La Manga later today as part of their mid-season preparations. The Scottish football winter break coincides with this.
With transfer season well under way, there will be some eyes watching who gets on and who doesn’t.
Rangers supporters are understandably getting a little enthusiastic about the idea Michy Batshuayi could join the team, despite reports that crunch discussions are set within the next 24 hours.
The club’s risk-averse alternatives are far behind Old Firm rivals Celtic in the title chase, therefore the Gers will definitely be looking for a new striker this winter.
A great forward option, and Michy Batshuayi is undoubtedly one, might mean the difference between winning title number 56 and not.
The striker is currently expected to depart Fenerbahce, so moving to Ibrox to play for a Belgian manager at a promising time for the team would be an alluring offer.
The Rangers striker market is Belgian-inspired.
Batshuayi was signed by Chelsea in 2016 for an alleged £33 million, having being underutilized at Marseille.
Prior to joining Fenerbahce in 2022, the striker had loan stints with Borussia Dortmund, Valencia, Crystal Palace, and Besiktas after beginning his career at Standard Liege.
After making 53 appearances for the team and scoring 28 goals since then, Michy Batshuayi now seems interested in joining Rangers.
The Belgian’s signing would be a significant declaration of intent for Rangers as they attempt to bolster their team this summer. He has scored goals wherever he has played.
The Wolves striker Fabio Silva has already been brought in on loan by the team, and players like Sam Lammers and Ridvan Yilmaz are anticipated to leave soon, freeing up salary and money transfers.
