Rangers reportedly are set to table a new bid of around 6 million pounds for Feyenoord striker Danilo, who is considered their main transfer target for the summer. With the departure of key players such as Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Glen Kamara and Scott Wright to follow suit, Rangers have been quick to refresh and rebuild their squad with Cyril Dessers, Sam Lammers, Abdallah Sima and 4 other players already joining Rangers the summer.
Danilo Pereira is at the top of Ranger’s summer transfer wishlist, with the striker contributing to 13 goals in just 1,336 minutes of playing time in Eredivisie. Rangers look to make a statement with the signing of Danilo, as the player is well-suited for the playing style of coach Michael Beale where he can play as a lone striker in a 4-3-3 formation or play as an inverted winger in his system. Beale told reporters “Danilo is a player that we like, but he is not the only forward we are talking to, but is the one out there.” Rangers pursuit of Danilo is “still progressing”, transfer insider Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT.
Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “I believe Danilo is back in pre-season training now. But that deal is still progressing as far as Rangers are concerned. Their problem is that Feyenoord are holding things up at their end.
“I believe that half the job is done here, from a Rangers point of view, because the player is up for the move.
“They just now need to get to the next stage of that, where the selling club are open to this happening. So, they’ll keep plugging away at it.”
Danilo had a pretty underrated 2022-23 season, with him being the backup to Santiago Gimenez and Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Danilo had exceptional underlying stats for a striker. He was in the 98th percentile for total shots, in the 97th percentile for non-penalty xG and in the 97th percentile for touches in the opposition box. Danilo is also a very hard worker off the ball with him being in the 99th percentile for blocks and the 98th percentile for interceptions.
It is also being reported that Rangers are in for a centre-back and their main target is Nottingham Forrest’s 22-year-old Centre-back Jonathan Panzo. Reported a 2.5 million pounds would be adequate to entice Nottingham Forest to sell their young centre half.
