Rangers Transfer Rumours 4

08 Jan 2026 12:45:33
Posted previously about Connor Barron. Expecting a bid to come from Italy in this window.

08 Jan 2026 12:50:47
4-5m easily!

08 Jan 2026 12:53:10
I don't think Rangers will sell Barron for anything other than ridiculous money.

08 Jan 2026 12:53:52
Wont be going anywhere this window, currently in a brace.

08 Jan 2026 12:55:19
Wouldn't want Barron going anywhere anytime soon mate, Future captain in my eyes.

08 Jan 2026 12:55:59
I can't imagine it'll be entertained on current form.

08 Jan 2026 13:18:54
Chukwauni close to signing.

08 Jan 2026 13:42:20
15m and he can go, why do some fans sell our players short, the other mob ask big prices and get it, where would we get a player like Barron for 4 or 5 million.

We don't want to sell, he's under contract so pay us am amount we can't refuse, simples, or we sell him on the cheap then the buying club sell him for mega profit in a year or 2.

08 Jan 2026 13:50:05
Barron currently integral to the way we work.
Would have to be a crazy offer.

08 Jan 2026 13:51:37
if he goes he goes, not the end of the world, we need to get our player trading model back on track and start selling for profit again.

08 Jan 2026 13:53:38
My price for Barron would be £10m but I wouldn't sell him now. Who we going to replace what he gives us with in a January window and what would they cost and if the do t hit ground running we lose title.

I'd quote them the same figure as the champions league money.

08 Jan 2026 14:08:51
No for me, although I've no idea what the score is with finances…players might be sold to fund moves. Wouldn't like to think Barron would be one at this stage…it's very hard to have people replicate his work ethic.

08 Jan 2026 14:14:56
We won't be selling Barron, far too much for his replacement that would be close to him, you'd be talking double figures.

08 Jan 2026 14:22:54
Connor is injured.

Will be out between 8-12 weeks sadly.

08 Jan 2026 14:34:47
Wee Barron is our heartbeat at moment -only funny money would be accepted IMHO🤔I for one hope he stays🙏.

08 Jan 2026 14:38:07
Everyone has a price, but give his form, potential, and home grown status, I think it would need to be at a team premium. i'd be wanting minimum 10x what we paid in compensation for him given we have no desire or need to sell.

08 Jan 2026 14:41:23
We can't sell any of our decent players this window unless it's a stupid price offered, we add a few starters then do business in summer on out goings that DR sees fit.

08 Jan 2026 15:03:13
4m or 5m? Behave yourself! 8m plus add ons:

08 Jan 2026 15:07:46
Every player will have his price.
Signed him for £600K tribunal fee.
Talk of signing another midfielder for £4 million.

08 Jan 2026 15:33:19
cant sell him anyway he is injured, the MOM performance done him in.

08 Jan 2026 16:21:04
10m min.

08 Jan 2026 17:25:23
Connor has picked up an injury since I posted which will delay any deal in this window. Italians will be back in the summer.

08 Jan 2026 18:14:52
Sure it will 😂.

08 Jan 2026 12:41:35
A journalist said we will definitely make two signings before deadline; a left back and centre back is the ones we want. He said that will be only two to come in.

08 Jan 2026 13:02:47
Possible Targets Mentioned:

Silas Andersen DM. 6'3"
Jens Hjerto-Dahl No 6. 6'3"
Tochi Chukwuani Left Mid. 6'1"
Xavier Mbuyamba CD. 6'4"
Tuur Rommens. LB. 6'1"
Could we be preparing for the loss of Barron to Italy and Raskin or Dio leaving in the summer? Good to see we are trying to and a bit of height to the team.

08 Jan 2026 13:07:54
We need more than 2 so hopefully that's not the case.

08 Jan 2026 13:10:05
Absolutely no chance that's the 2 positions we only bring players in on Johnthomson 🤔 It's common knowledge we'll sign 2 midfielders a no.6 midfielder and a more attacking midfielder mate 🤔.

08 Jan 2026 13:15:42
We will need more than that to win the league.

08 Jan 2026 13:19:57
Well that's wrong because a midfielder is set to sign.

08 Jan 2026 13:44:49
I would expect 4 signings before the window closes

2 defenders - LB Rommens and a CB.
1 midfielder - Chukwuani.
1 attacker -?

08 Jan 2026 13:45:16
Let's face it, this is a Rumours page. 1 in a 100.000 will be close. under this current Regime no one knows anything until the deal is nearly done and I do mean no one.

20 year ago I knew a Guy and if he gave you info you could put your House on it. That's doesn't happen these days.

08 Jan 2026 13:55:23
plenty time, 2 in pregress Chukwuani, Rommens, more to follow.
weeks only been open a week, just over 3 weeks to go.

Plenty time for us to move some out and bring more in.

08 Jan 2026 14:09:48
Two this week maybe, we will most likely sign 4 minimum by window closure.

08 Jan 2026 14:11:16
Well looks like left back a Cm and CB all on way. Would like striker aswel amd get rid Danilo.

08 Jan 2026 14:16:26
Be more than 2 John, that's basically guaranteed.

08 Jan 2026 15:03:42
Journalist doesn't have a clue!

08 Jan 2026 15:08:11
Doubt it Rohl said he wanted more forward options.

08 Jan 2026 16:06:13
A can definitely smell rubbish 😂 cupla mids are on the cards with the stumgraz all but there already. Where dae people get off spouting non sense.

08 Jan 2026 20:00:40
John Thompson, I take it the journalist works at the daily rebel, sore on the arse.

08 Jan 2026 20:03:11
His countryman has just signed for us, could that have caused the extension kick in?

08 Jan 2026 11:22:21
Raskins further year option has been triggered and he's contracted to year 2028.

08 Jan 2026 11:47:47
Excellent news, even if it's just for the transfer fee.

08 Jan 2026 11:57:13
Great news. I think he's been playing better and better for us of late. Getting back to proper form.

08 Jan 2026 12:20:48
Excellent news, he is really enjoying his time here under Rohl, hopefully we keep him and extend his contract even further to 2030.
If we do sell we can make good money if his contract extension is longer.

His glancing headers lately have been crackers, perfectly executed.

That last one against Aberdeen was a corker, as was Fernandez's one, even if Manny missed that, Chermiti was right behind him in the air to head it in, our set piece goal threat is improving with each game, as well as our defence, we need more goals from our attackers so we can demolish teams.

08 Jan 2026 14:11:44
LH - agreed. He seems to be happy and settled.

His ability in the air for a wee guy is phenomenal.

08 Jan 2026 16:07:57
💥💥 perfecto! Cany see him leaving this season unless a stupid offer comes in. Wee man seems to be enjoying his football the now n he knows a move will happen down the line. No rush on the player or the clubs part.

08 Jan 2026 10:45:13
Chukwuani left out of sturm graz friendly today, could our first signing happen soon, also did some1 not say their were 2 rooms booked a few days ago at a certain hotel.

08 Jan 2026 12:06:46
Looking likely Davie, seems like the deal for Chukwuani is in advanced stages and should be announced as our first winter window signing, with Rommens likely our 2nd signing.

2 excellent quality additions that enhance our 1st team squad as we push ahead for the league title

Happy days :)

08 Jan 2026 12:23:35
I'm reading Celtic are keen to hijack Rangers deal to bring 6'3" Defensive Midfielder Silas Andersen to Rangers.

08 Jan 2026 12:44:27
If Celtic do want Silas then it's the perfect time for the 49ers to show they mean business.

08 Jan 2026 12:45:06
Of the 3 mfs mentioned chukwuani doesn't fill me with confidence tbh, hopefully he shuts me up.

08 Jan 2026 13:21:13
I said that on another thread bb4. Not sure what it is just looks a clumsy player to me.

08 Jan 2026 13:35:31
Will be confusing as Celtic keeper nickname is Chuckwanin.

08 Jan 2026 14:01:06
Chukwuani Has the potential to become our best midfielder, stornger tan DIo, more of a goal threat than Raskin, we will al find out soon enough once he is announced.

Lads been on the rise for a wile now, and his value is increasing nicely, and helped Strum Graz win the Austrian Bundesliga last season as well as help Strum Graz beat us in the Europa just recently.

Rommens is on the rise too with both his skill levels and value rising up over the last season or so.

08 Jan 2026 14:11:16
For me chuk is the alternative to Dahl…I'm not seeing him as our 6…maybe we are still going to be in for Silas Andersen?

08 Jan 2026 14:12:25
We won't be signing both. Think that puts anderen out now.

08 Jan 2026 15:09:05
Chukwauni is a very good footballer.

08 Jan 2026 15:36:19
LOL Gers84, Good one man.

08 Jan 2026 10:34:56
So if reports are true, 2 bids for players, 1 at 3.5m and another at 4m
Cavanagh meaning business.

08 Jan 2026 11:06:33
Certainly not shy at spending money. Have no idea how the ffp actually works.

08 Jan 2026 12:03:35
GC I wouldn't worry too much about that for us as I believe our percentage of revenue spent on the squad is around 50% with the cap being 70% at least this is what it was in the summer according to 4lads.

I think in the summer a lot of people panicked because we saw prem clubs struggle to buy players but that is down to the premier league rules and not UEFA.

08 Jan 2026 12:09:21
GC we only really spent net just north of £2M in summer so I suspect there is a bit of leeway there.

08 Jan 2026 12:25:48
Was the net spend not actually quite low in the summer window.

08 Jan 2026 12:26:59
Chukwuani - 4m
Rommens - 3.5m

money well spent, both young and talented improvements in key areas.

D a n n y. Danny Rohl.
D a n n y. Danny Rohl.

08 Jan 2026 12:45:40
Are the 2 mentioned, 'projects? ' Or 1st team starters?

08 Jan 2026 13:47:13
Bar from what I've seen online regardless of their age their very good players, I think possibly buying them now to sell on again in the future.

08 Jan 2026 14:06:06
Chukwuani and Rommens will be 1st team starters they both very experienced despite Their young age and qualities, both have been rising talent in their respective leagues, Rommens plays in the Belgian premier and Chukwuani plays in the Austrian premier league,
Both league are levels above ours, so they are both quality additions for the 1st team, in key areas we need strenghthened in.

I don't think Danny is interested in project players right now, not when he has the chance to win the SPFL in his first season and secure European football for us in the process.

08 Jan 2026 15:09:56
Chukwauni is a 1st player for sure.

08 Jan 2026 09:04:48
Reports we've had a bid of 4m for the midfield lad accepted by sturm graz. Us he our no6.

08 Jan 2026 09:28:07
Is he not a 10?raskin and Barron our 6s?

08 Jan 2026 09:30:12
No he's a number 8 and plays on the left side of the central midfield.

08 Jan 2026 10:05:36
Raskin better as an 8.

08 Jan 2026 11:15:30
Jzer Rohl sees him as a 6 as he stated last week.

08 Jan 2026 11:17:34
According to aphe he plays 10 for denmark 21s.

08 Jan 2026 11:34:24
Tochi Chukwuani Can play anywhere in the midfield, cdm, cm, cam.
he is a box to box midfielder and add strength to our midfiled as well as being a goal threat, Graz got him for only 200k (Mega Bargain)
he is also a former team mate of Diomande at Nordsjaelland, they know each other very well, having played together in the 1st team, he can play for Denmark or Nigeria, he is a big strong very talented lad, and will be a very good signing for us.

Depending on our opposition and where Rohl thinks he is most effective will determine his position, as we know Rohl likes to alter formations for games and during games to take advantage of opposition weakmesses, which we saw recently demonstrated to great effect against Celtic.


possibly in this order our next 3 signings are likely to be

Tochi Chukwuani - Midfield.
Tuur Rommens - Defence.
Xavier Mbuyamba - Defence.

total cost around 9-10 mill euros.

3 quality additions that strenghten us in key areas.

hopefully we get Cortes back as well as he is not getting games and deserves a chance under Rohl to see what he can do.

Djiga, Cornelius, Aarons, can all go they are not the right players for Rohls vision or Rangers FC going forward and we should end those loans in this window if possible.

If we can shift one of our forwards likely Danilo, then we should get another striker in too.

exciting times ahead as we go all out for the SPFL title and European football next year.

Game on.

08 Jan 2026 11:51:18
What's the story is technically not wrong Paul.

It is opinion and perception.

He plays as the most advanced midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation.

I see that as the 10 role others call it an 8.

08 Jan 2026 12:15:01
Chukwuani throughout his career has mainly played either CM or LM
for Strum Graz, Lyngby BK, FC Nordsjælland, and the Danish national youth sides.

watched his highlights last night and he is some player by the way. our midfields about to get a lot better indeed. If we get Ekwah as well, can see both fitting in nicely to Rohl's preferred main formation of 4231.

From Google A.I:

"Danny Röhl's favorite and primary formation is the 4-2-3-1, a system he views as "in his DNA" from his time as an assistant to Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich.
This formation is part of a broader philosophy focused on:

High-intensity, attacking football with an emphasis on structured pressing and quick transitions.

Defensive solidity through a solid base (the two central midfielders and back four) to quickly win the ball back deep in the opposition's half. Exploiting wide areas, using full-backs and wingers to stretch the opposition and create crossing opportunities.

While the 4-2-3-1 is his preferred setup, Rohl is known for his tactical flexibility and has successfully switched formations depending on the opposition and available players.

He has frequently utilised a back-three system, such as a 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1, which offers "asymmetrical" flexibility and more bodies in central midfield while retaining width from wing-backs. Other formations he has employed include the 4-4-2 and 4-5-1".

08 Jan 2026 12:23:28
Raskin is a box to box mid. not sure why he is wanting to play as a 6.
he can do it but he is clearly better moving forward.

a few pundits on at him for not being able to sense danger or put out fires all because of the Yang goal (which was more Aasgaard and Fernandez fault imo). However i am guessing these same pundits don't watch a lot of Rangers games as Raskin is constantly winning the ball back for us, Barron getting good at it too.

08 Jan 2026 12:53:26
6 8 bingo today again, what is the prize, I don't like coconuts.

08 Jan 2026 12:59:48
Yangs goal was a lucky shot, Butland should have saved that, guess it had to much pace, but he almost got it.

I preffered Chermiti and Moore's goals far better than Yangs, Chermitis first goal was a stepover with the lead leg to dummy Schmeichel then a side footed rear leg chip, i've watched it about 15 times it is a very well crafted goal, not the chip in it looks like at normal speed, it's a very quick skillful transition, can see it if ou slow down the YT clip to slowest speed, most CF's woudl have taken that on the lead leg and rubbish low, resulting in a Schmeichel save.

08 Jan 2026 13:01:37
Can't see Barron getting much game time once Chukwuani arrives.
Miles ahead of Barrons level, more bench time for Barron once our new midfielder arrives.

08 Jan 2026 13:20:49
Barron on current form would always be in my starting 11.

08 Jan 2026 13:58:30
Not a chance in Hell Laudrup Hagi.

U actually vision is dropping our best player cause we sign someone who plays a different style to him altogether? It's dio who'll drop out.

08 Jan 2026 14:08:06
Gers84 - they ran out of coconuts earlier, A Goldfish in a portable plastic tank is now the prize lol.

08 Jan 2026 14:16:27
Were looking to move cortes on already loan to buy. he's very poor signing from us. Hopeully get something back for him.

08 Jan 2026 15:11:18
Laudruphagi - our loans will not be returned.

08 Jan 2026 08:57:44
Daily Record have now picked up on a player I mentioned a few weeks ago - Xavier Mbuyamba. Centre half from Volendam.

I know the club had spoke to his representatives given his contract situation - OOC in June.

Seems this one has now progressed further.

08 Jan 2026 09:26:58
Looks decent.

Transfermkt says he's played 15 out of a possible 17, but only in the starting 11 29% of the time, so assuming he's not first choice at Volendam.

08 Jan 2026 09:29:32
Marco he's dropped because he refused to sign an extension.

08 Jan 2026 09:30:49
Romano linked him to us in the summer also

He's been bombed out his current air as he's not signing a new deal.

08 Jan 2026 09:59:01
Pre contract for the Summer but a small fee could sign him sooner. Something we will look to do.

08 Jan 2026 10:39:56
6 foot 4, we're definitely going down the right path.

08 Jan 2026 11:12:36
I thought this guy looked a fantastic prospect in summer when we were linked. Would love to see us strengthen back there and he looks too fit the bill. Another big / physical lad.

08 Jan 2026 11:44:00
We were supposed to be interested in him during the summer window.

08 Jan 2026 11:50:54
This guy is as good as Fernandez in the air from corners and set pieces and the same height.

08 Jan 2026 12:04:12
Better out there. Feels like we'd get our nose burnt if he ends up a Rangers player. Would take a miss on him.

08 Jan 2026 12:48:48
Former Barcelona and Chelsea youth player, has a heart defect that has affected his career progress when both former youth clubs saw his potential from a young age.

1 more goal and Fernandez is the top scoring CB in Europe right now, Unless Doekhi gets another one.

I fully expect Fernandez's value to shoot up by the end of the season
worth every bit of the 2.9 mill euros we payed, is worth 10 mill in my opinion right now.

Shame we didn't still have Bassey some pairing that would have been, English - Nigerian connection too.

08 Jan 2026 12:54:45
Big powerful players watched, good news Danny has seen the problem.

08 Jan 2026 14:11:36
big strong lads with talent, skill and pace, so we can steamroll teams into submission and defeat.

08 Jan 2026 08:30:20
Chukwuani fee almost agreed for £4m as per reports this morning.

08 Jan 2026 09:20:10
Would we still be targeting a No.6 with this signing as for me he seems to be a very strong runner and great at winning duels if anything he looks to be the replacement for Dio and not quite that 6 who can dictate the game.

08 Jan 2026 09:50:59
Calb I think our bench on Saturday showed we lack strength in depth so competition with Dio rather than replacement possibly. then he settles for 6 months and we sell Dio in Summer?

08 Jan 2026 10:16:30
Agreed Angus.

08 Jan 2026 10:17:13
We are selling Rothwell and likely Cameron is leaving so I think we need two cms, one 8 and one 6. Dio and Raskin likely to leave come summer but we need all the help we can get this title is very much there for the taking.

08 Jan 2026 10:29:00
Or we don't sell Dio at all. We only have 3 midfielders of quality: Barron, Raskin and Dio then there's a fall off with Dowell and Asagaard, yes Dio hasn't been great this season nor has Raskin but I'd rather he play than the other 2.

We've lacked depth and competition for places for years now. We should only be selling surplus players like Dowell and Matondo and strengthen the bench as well as the first 11, only sell starters to offers of 10 million minimum unless their contracts are low or we have 2 players that are near equal quality.

08 Jan 2026 11:41:23
No one is saying we are selling Dio I meant as a replacement in the starting eleven that Tochi traits better lend themselves to Dios role withen the team than a 6.

08 Jan 2026 11:59:39
We had Dowell and Matondo on the bench midweek. We clearly get to strengthen midfield. No idea about this guy, but I like the profile of player were being linked with.

08 Jan 2026 12:37:28
CalB at least two posters mentioned selling Dio, so somebody is saying it.

08 Jan 2026 15:22:59
wsl No has said we are "Selling" they said likely to leave in the summer both of them he won't this window is my point lol everything taken so literal at time on here.

07 Jan 2026 23:32:59
Bid of €3.5m in for Tuur Rommens of Westerlo.

08 Jan 2026 07:20:46
Should we be concerned that we're only just making bids now? I really hoped Rangers would have at least one signing lined up for the window opening. Injuries are becoming a concern now, we need reinforcements quick.

08 Jan 2026 07:56:11
Welcome back Gersgirl. I may be wrong but hadn't noticed any posts for a while.

08 Jan 2026 08:05:02
You know what i was concerned before too but looking at fixtures this Aberdeen game toughest for a bit and even if we signed someone today i doubt they would be ready to play

Aberdeen
Annan
Ludogrets. nothing game
Dundee home should be winning that
Porto. nothing game
First real tough game Hibs away 1st feb

So as long as signings this week or next should be ok

The tough jan start we all thought of was
Celtic Aberdeen aberdeen we don't have enough time to bed new guy in for Aberdeen now anyway.

08 Jan 2026 08:09:59
No we shouldn't be concerned that a bid has been reported by the media. In some cases players have agreed contract terms before bids have been submitted/accepted.

Just because it's been reported of Rangers making a bid doesn't mean it's the first contact they have had with the team/player and it's at the first stage of the deal.

08 Jan 2026 08:14:59
Gersgirl, I honestly wouldn't be concerned, as we're not just making bids now.

Deals and negotiations have been ongoing for several weeks, if not months.

Unless there's a sudden / unexpected opportunity.

08 Jan 2026 08:18:02
I am sure there is a lot going on behind the scenes regarding incoming/outgoing Transfers. Rohl seems determined to bring in Players. Patience!

08 Jan 2026 08:21:46
Gersgirl Stig has only been in the role for about 3 or 4 at this point so it's not surprising that we didn't have players or bids lined up plus it's possible we've bidded and got rejected like Penrice which seems like isn't happening now or some weren't interested in joining or got better offers like Dahl apparently has.

08 Jan 2026 08:33:21
Chukwuani 1st signing imminent.

08 Jan 2026 08:36:33
Told that we have money to buy but I reckon outgoings are more the problem as we're top heavy with sub std quality.

08 Jan 2026 08:37:54
Gers girl relax. I think the club know what they r doing.

08 Jan 2026 08:42:54
I would prefer we wait and bring the correct players in, I wouldn't be surprised with a couple before Tommorow night either.
Clubs selling need replacement lined up before that happens in most cases.

08 Jan 2026 09:07:24
Thanks guys, I don't know how these things work. Just desperate for our club to do well. We have the momentum and should capitalise on it 😃.

08 Jan 2026 09:12:13
Forever it isn't a nothing game in Europe, we could still be doing with more coefficient points for getting straight into the champions league if we win the league.

08 Jan 2026 09:26:39
Forever, apart from Sunday I would agree with rest of statements. Especially euro games. A good chance to blood new players with no pressure but also rest a good few players. Protect them a bit.

08 Jan 2026 11:45:24
Europe isn't throw away games still get money for winning them and as said the coefficient is very important for us.

We all know that the league is no.1 aim for Rangers but I wish as fans we would stop downplaying how important Europe is for clubs like us the landscape of football has changed need to stop living in the 80s.

08 Jan 2026 12:39:41
Maybe we tried to get Penrice and couldn't so now we bid for Rommens, there is nothing concerning in that only happening now.

08 Jan 2026 13:45:33
Reports now saying it has been accepted.
Hopefully in the country over the next couple of days.

08 Jan 2026 14:53:17
CalB not downplaying but prioritising.
This is the focus for me. I want to focus on the league. Build on to the work DR next year. For me that's protecting some of our starters and giving others a chance, not including new players.
We will still put a team out and hopefully do ok.
