Rangers have had a low ball offer for Feyenoord striker Danilo booted out as they ramp up their search for a new No.9. Record Sport understands an initial undisclosed bid for the Brazilian was instantly booted into touch by the Dutch champions who have slapped a price tag of more than £5m on the 24-year-old.
But, while sources in the Netherlands believe the two clubs remain ‘miles apart’, Danilo’s name remains high on a list of potential attacking targets drawn up by Ibrox boss Michael Beale.
Beale’s priority remains to splash out a significant proportion of his summer budget on Cremonese striker Cyriel Dessers - who spent a season on loan at Feyenoord, becoming a fans favourite at De Kuip, before making the move to Italy’s Serie A last summer.
But, while Rangers remain locked in negotiations over a price for the Nigerian international, those talks appear to have stalled over Cremonese’s £6.5m valuation.
