In an exciting turn of events, it appears that Jose Cifuentes, the talented midfielder from Los Angeles FC, is determined to join Rangers and showcase his skills in the UEFA Champions League next season. The Sun journalist Alan Nixon, on Patreon, has provided an exclusive report shedding light on Cifuentes’ intentions.
According to Nixon, Cifuentes has made up his mind to sign a pre-contract with Rangers at the end of this month, despite receiving late interest from a Premier League club in England. This decision implies that the 24-year-old Ecuadorian is willing to embark on a new adventure with the Scottish giants, prioritizing the prospect of playing in Europe’s most prestigious club competition.
While Cifuentes awaits the opportunity to officially sign a pre-contract with Rangers in July, he aims to join the club as a free agent once his current contract with Los Angeles FC expires later this year. However, Nixon has highlighted that if Rangers wish to secure Cifuentes’ services immediately, they may need to negotiate a reasonable transfer fee with the Major League Soccer club.
Undeterred by the potential hurdles, Nixon affirms that the deal with Rangers is still progressing smoothly. He further asserts, “the player is committed to head to Glasgow and play in the Champions League.” This level of dedication and eagerness exhibited by Cifuentes speaks volumes about the allure and appeal of Rangers as they strive for continental success.
Finishing as runners-up in the Scottish Premiership last season, Rangers have earned a spot in the UEFA Champions League, entering at the third qualifying round. The prospect of acquiring Cifuentes, especially in the face of competition from a Premier League club, serves as a source of excitement and encouragement for the loyal fans at Ibrox.
If Rangers can successfully secure the services of the 24-year-old ahead of a top-tier English club, it would undoubtedly make a significant statement regarding the ambition and competitiveness of the Scottish side. Cifuentes’ arrival would not only bolster the team’s midfield but also add depth and quality to their Champions League campaign.

As the transfer saga unfolds, all eyes will be on Jose Cifuentes and his impending move to Rangers. The prospect of the Ecuadorian midfielder donning the blue jersey and striving for glory in the UEFA Champions League is an enticing one, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further developments.
