Rangers’ January Transfer Window: Five Players Who Could Depart
As the January transfer window approaches, Rangers faces a critical opportunity to revitalize their title challenge. Currently nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen in the Premiership, Michael Beale’s side requires significant changes to reignite their season.
Five Players Possibly Leaving Rangers
- Ianis Hagi
Hagi’s contract situation has been resolved, but playing time remains scarce. Following a loan spell at Alaves last season, the Romanian midfielder struggles to secure a first-team spot.
- Cyriel Dessers
Despite reported summer interest, Dessers continues to deliver goals, dividing opinion among fans. His valuation could attract potential suitors, and Rangers might consider cashing in.
- Danilo
Another Beale recruit, Danilo’s recovery from serious injury has been slow. With Rangers focused on immediate success, they may opt to recoup funds from a potential sale.
- Rabbi Matondo
Matondo’s inconsistent form and reported summer interest make him a candidate for departure. His valuation could be utilized to facilitate other signings.
- James Tavernier
Tavernier’s diminishing relationship with fans and recent benchings spark speculation about his future. An exit could protect his Ibrox legacy.
