Rangers have accepted several offers for Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers, Ibrox Noise sources have learned, as the hitman looks set to miss Rangers’ preseason trip to Holland from today.
Dessers has been in attendance at preseason at Auchenhowie thus far, but with interest now hiking in his signature, Rangers don’t want to risk losing out on the sale or him losing out on the transfer by getting injured in the Dutch summer camp, so it’s been deemed that he will not travel. The fee is understood to be more than the £4.5m Rangers paid out, with sources suggesting it is into the £6m range, which would be a superb sale and Rangers’ best post-2012 sale aside from the post-55 clutch including Bassey, Aribo and Patterson.
For the initial outlay of £4.5m, it’s a decent haul and could be set to increase further depending on how this Ibrox bidding war materialises. He wasn’t a player who was accepted by Rangers fans en-masse, and there’s no point debating how right or wrong that was – he didn’t feel the love because it wasn’t there, and he is more than happy to move onto pastures new.
As for who the bids are from, all we know is Greece, Spain and France are among the nations credited with interested sides, we just don’t know what clubs.
