6 unanswered Rangers transfer questions as Danilo prompts cash splash assumption and hand forced in defender chase

Michael Beale has been keeping busy when it comes to Rangers recruitment and things aren't expected to slow down anytime soon.

The Light Blues have moved swiftly to get cover for injured defender Leon King by calling upon Leon Balogun for a second spell at Ibrox, after 12 months at QPR following his 2022 exit. Attentions will now turn to more ins and outs at Ibrox, with boss Beale reportedly told that he must cut three seniors stars from his squad in order to keep the summer revamp train rolling.

Jose Cifuentes is in their crosshairs as his LAFC contract ticks down and the pursuit of Feyenoord's Danilo is ongoing. All of that leaves plenty of questions for the manager to answer as pre-season friendlies commence and the countdown to Champions League qualifiers and Premiership matches continue. We take a look at six of the most pressing transfer questions right now surrounding Rangers.

It's been claimed that they might go in again with a second bid for the forward, and having already spent £4.5m on Cyriel Dessers, Rangers might need similar or more to get another piece of attacking firepower. How far they are willing to go remains to be seen.

It was claimed last month that the Arsenal defender who spent last season out on loan was a 'preferred summer target' of Beale's as he and the likes of Jonathan Panzo are targeted for a left-centre-back role, but negotiations with the Gunners at that stage had stalled. Now they could be made to stick or twist.
