Rangers manager, Michael Beale, has reassured fans that the club’s summer transfer spree will continue, hinting at potential departures alongside new signings. Recent rumors have circulated suggesting that several senior players at Ibrox may be on their way out, with Antonio Colak attracting interest from the Bundesliga and Major League Soccer, and Glen Kamara being pursued by Besiktas. Despite these potential departures, Rangers remain focused on securing deals for the likes of Jose Cifuentes and Danilo. Beale has provided insights into the club’s transfer strategy in a recent interview.
Speaking to Rangers TV, Beale acknowledged the ongoing transfer activities and affirmed the club’s clear plan for the future. He emphasized the need for reinforcements and indicated that the club is actively pursuing their targets. The manager’s swift action to bring back Leon Balogun, following an injury to Leon King, demonstrates Rangers’ determination to address any squad deficiencies promptly. Beale stated, “There’s going to be more signings coming in and out. We have a really fixed idea on some of the work we’re doing. It’s ongoing.”
Regarding Leon King’s situation, Beale expressed his satisfaction with the player’s return, highlighting the importance of his experience within the team. He revealed, “Hence with Leon King’s situation, we wanted to act fast, and Leon is someone I have been speaking to in the last few weeks. He has been working away with his fitness and is in a good place.”
Beale expressed delight at King’s rejoining the team, emphasizing the positive impact of having an experienced player in the squad. He explained, “We are delighted he can join us, and it is a friendly face for all to see. It’s important we have a little bit of grey hair in the playing staff. He is a player I know well, and I see no risk in that sense.”
Furthermore, Beale underlined the importance of having a strong pool of senior center-backs, learning from the defensive issues faced by the team in the previous season. He emphasized the need for competition and depth in this position, stating, “It’s important we have four senior center-backs fighting and pushing. We know the issues we had in that position last year.”
