Jose Cifuentes' move to Rangers isn't as close as it seems according to Michael Beale - but the boss stopped well short of denying his interest in the Ecuadorian.
Los Angeles FC midfielder Cifuentes is believed to be in talks over a move to Glasgow in what has been one of the worst-kept secrets of the transfer market over the last 24 hours.
One of his representatives shared on LinkedIn that he was being given a VIP tour of Ibrox while Cifuentes set tongues wagging by liking a number of Tweets from Rangers fans congratulating him on the move that is yet to be formally announced.
Beale though moved to play things down as he said on Sky Sports: "The deal is not that close, if I'm honest. These things pick up speed in the papers.
