Rangers Linked with Leicester Winger Mavididi Amidst Transfer Speculation

Rangers are reportedly engaged in talks with Leicester City regarding a potential transfer for 28-year-old winger Stephy Mavididi. The Scottish Premiership club is understood to be keen on strengthening their attacking options with the acquisition of the English forward.

This development comes amid a busy period of transfer speculation surrounding Ibrox, with multiple players being linked with moves both in and out of the club.

John Souttar’s Future Uncertain

Leicester City are also reportedly considering a move for Rangers centre-half John Souttar. However, the 29-year-old Scotland international could face competition from several Championship clubs interested in his services. Sheffield United is named as one such club monitoring the defender’s situation.

Other Potential Departures and Arrivals

Further transfer rumours suggest that Dutch and Greek clubs are tracking Rangers forward Danilo, who is 27 years old. Meanwhile, Rangers appear to be facing significant hurdles in any attempt to bring back winger Vaclav Cerny. The club reportedly fears they would struggle to match the 28-year-old’s £45,000-per-week wages, and his current club, Besiktas, is reportedly not looking to offload him, despite his previous loan spell in Glasgow.

Cardiff City’s interest in midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl has also been highlighted, with the Welsh club reportedly having a £5.5m bid rejected by Tromso for the 20-year-old. Rangers remain in discussions for Hjerto-Dahl, for whom the Norwegian club is seeking a fee of at least £6.8m, plus add-ons. Cardiff City is also facing competition from Rangers in their pursuit of the midfielder.

Rangers have also reportedly revived their interest in AEK Athens left-back James Penrice, a 27-year-old former Hearts player who was previously linked with a move to Ibrox in January.

In other news, Livingston have handed a trial to former Rangers winger Kai Kennedy, 24, after his departure from Queen of the South.

Celtic Transfer Links

Rangers’ rivals Celtic are also featuring in transfer gossip. The club is reported to be among those interested in signing 20-year-old Utrecht forward Adrian Blake, who is valued at £2.5m. Celtic, Burnley, and Wolverhampton Wanderers are all mentioned as potential suitors.

The hunt for a new goalkeeper at Celtic continues, with Tjark Ernst reportedly set to sign for Feyenoord. This move comes after the Dutch club met Hertha Berlin’s £4.2m release clause for the player.

Young Talent on the Radar

Dundee United’s 15-year-old striker Lorenzo Sassetti, who has represented Scotland’s youth sides but recently switched his allegiance to Italy, is reportedly being explored by Italian giants AC Milan, Internazionale, and Juventus.

Key facts

This influx of transfer speculation provides a snapshot of the ongoing activity in the market, with Scottish clubs actively pursuing new talent and looking to manage their current squads. For fans of Rangers and Celtic, these rumours offer a glimpse into potential future squad compositions.
