Rangers Reject Bid for Key Player from Champions League Club
Rangers have recently rejected a transfer proposal from Ligue 1 club Monaco for their promising winger, Djeidi Gassama. The 22-year-old player has shown both brilliance and inconsistency this season, scoring seven goals in 39 appearances.
Gassama’s Performance and Impact
Gassama, who joined Rangers from Sheffield Wednesday last summer, began his time at the Ibrox with impressive form. He netted four goals in his first four matches under manager Russell Martin. However, his goal-scoring has since slowed, contributing only three more goals since that strong start. Nonetheless, his recent efforts, including a stunning goal in a 3-0 victory over Dundee, have kept him in the spotlight.
Transfer Interest from European Clubs
Interest in Gassama has surged across Europe, with reports indicating notable interest from clubs like Villarreal and Club Brugge. Foot Mercato has reported that Monaco has taken significant steps to acquire the winger, proposing a loan deal with a future obligation to buy.
Rangers’ Stance on Gassama
Despite the repeated offers, Rangers have officially turned down Monaco’s approach. The club views Gassama as an essential part of their squad as the competition for the title intensifies. Under the leadership of Danny Rohl, Rangers currently sit second in the league, trailing leaders Hearts by four points.
Contract Status
- Player: Djeidi Gassama
- Age: 22
- Previous Club: Sheffield Wednesday
- Goals This Season: 7 (in 39 appearances)
- Contract Duration: Until summer 2029
As it stands, Rangers have no immediate plans to part ways with Gassama, as they aim to strengthen their position in the league. His speed and attacking talent, developed during his time at the PSG academy, have made him a valuable asset for the team.
