Rangers might potentially make a last-ditch effort to capture former Celtic center-back Filip Benkovic in the January transfer window.
Given the club’s shortage of fit centre-backs, the Croatia international has been suggested as a possible January transfer target. [Daily Record, 7 January].
Neraysho Kasanwirjo seems to be out indefinitely, while John Souttar, Dujon Sterling, and Leon Balogun have all lately reported fitness difficulties.
Rangers can benefit from Filip Benkovic’s unsuccessful deal to Le Havre AC.
Benkovic, 27, is now a free agent and believed to be heading to Le Havre AC.
Foot Mercato writer Josue Casse claimed on January 15 that he was unable to negotiate a deal after speaking with the club.
It’s clear that Gers are looking for a new defender in January, and bringing in someone with previous SPFL experience, although with rivals Celtic, would be a prudent move.
The fact that he is a free agent means that there will be no transfer fee to acquire the Croatian’s services.
He might potentially be signed on a short-term contract to evaluate if he’s talented enough to stay with the club for the long run.
Nils Koppen understands that money is limited at Ibrox, therefore he would be open to any potential routes for bringing in free signings.
