Rangers could be forced into a major transfer decision this summer as rising interest from top European and Premier League clubs threatens to derail their efforts to build around one of their brightest young talents. Despite the club’s clear desire to hold on to their standout attacker, reports suggest a significant bid may prompt a reluctant sale.
The 22-year-old frontman has been a revelation at Ibrox this season, with his dramatic stoppage-time winner against Celtic at Parkhead securing his place in one of the most iconic fixtures in world football. With 18 direct goal contributions across competitions, he has quickly become an essential figure in the squad and a key part of the club’s future vision, alongside fellow rising star Nico Raskin.
However, financial considerations may outweigh sentiment. Premier League outfit Everton are among several clubs expressing strong interest, while teams like Sevilla and Marseille are also believed to be tracking him, setting the stage for a possible £20 million bidding war.
Having arrived from Morocco’s FAR Rabat just a year ago for a modest £2.5 million fee, the striker’s value has skyrocketed. Hailed by scouts as a “phenomenon,” he is now widely regarded as one of the top young prospects in European football. A potential sale would generate a substantial profit—but it could also leave a void at a crucial time in the club’s development.
Despite the speculation, the current board—led by 49ers Enterprises, who are nearing full control of the club—remains committed to keeping the forward as a central piece of their long-term strategy. A new manager is expected to be named soon, with a £25 million transfer war chest available to support a squad rebuild aimed at closing the gap with domestic rivals and making a stronger mark in Europe.
With the ownership transition expected to be finalized by the end of May, there is renewed optimism at Ibrox regarding financial health and sporting ambition. Whether that optimism extends to retaining one of their most valuable assets, however, may depend on just how high the offers climb in the coming weeks.
