“Rangers Exodus? Cyriel Dessers and Forgotten Star Could Seal Serie A Moves Before Deadline!”
Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers isn’t the only player who may leave Ibrox for Italy before the February transfer window closes. Dessers, who recently hinted at a potential exit after dropping behind Hamza Igamane and Danilo in the pecking order, could be joined by another fringe player who’s seen limited action in recent weeks. With talks on the horizon, the £4.5 million forward and his sidelined teammate may both be heading for a fresh start in Serie A.
“Rabbi Matondo’s Future in Doubt as Rangers Boss Prefers Rising Stars Over Wales International”
Rabbi Matondo’s return from a hamstring injury has been underwhelming, with the winger making just two appearances from a possible six since the festive period. His absence in Rangers’ recent 3-0 victory over Aberdeen raised eyebrows, but Philippe Clement explained the decision. The manager believes youngsters Zak Lovelace and Bailey Rice are outshining Matondo, as well as Kieran Dowell, in training, leaving the senior players on the sidelines for now. Matondo’s limited opportunities could cast doubt on his long-term future at Ibrox.
“Rabbi Matondo Linked with Lecce Move as Italian Clubs Circle £2m Rangers Winger”
Rabbi Matondo could be on his way to Lecce, joining striker Nikola Krstovic in Serie A if Rangers agree to a January exit. Torino and Lecce are reportedly interested in the Welsh winger, with additional interest from England’s Championship. Rangers are open to a loan deal but are keen to include a £2 million option or obligation-to-buy clause.
If Lecce secures Matondo, the former Manchester City, Liverpool, and Schalke player will face the challenge of delivering for a rejuvenated Nikola Krstovic, who has rediscovered his scoring form at Stadio Via del Mare.
