Danilo to fly in to seal Rangers deal as final contract detail emerges for Feyenoord star

Danilo is edging ever closer to becoming a Rangers player and is expected to sign a five-year contract in Glasgow, according to reports.

The highly-rated Feyenoord forward has been sought-after by Michael Beale and Co for some time with Sam Lammers from Atalanta and Cyriel Dessers from Cremonese arriving this summer. Danilo has been in the Light Blues' transfer crosshairs for some time, but Record Sport revealed negotiations with the Eredivisie champions had hit something of a snag over valuation on the 24-year-old. But Arne Slot's men decided to accept a final ‘take-it-or-leave-it’ offer of around £6million from the Ibrox camp and moved with haste to get a replacement in Nice forward Calvin Stengs.

Now it appears Danilo will arrive in Glasgow in the coming days and could be joined imminently by LAFC man Jose Cifuentes, who penned a pre-contract with Rangers but could be in the building on a deal before Beale takes his side to Kilmarnock on the league curtain raiser on August 5. Reports from AD in Holland suggest the striker will pen a lengthy, five-year deal with the Ibrox outfit.

Danilo is said to be ready to fly in to seal the deal 'in the coming days' by undergoing a medical after terms were thrashed out following lengthy conversations around the table. Should he arrive before Ecuadorian Cifuentes, he will become Rangers eighth recruit of the window.

Beale said this week: “There’s nothing less or more on Danilo. There’s lots of speculation about bids being accepted or rejected - it’s somewhere in between. It’ll either come to fruition or it won’t. He’s a good player but we’re not the only team interested. And he’s not the only target we have either. Out of respect for Arne Slot and Feyenoord the negotiations
