Rangers transfer news bulletin as Joan Jordan purchase obligation fee 'revealed' and Cerny out the Wolfsburg picture

Sevilla want to insert an obligation for Rangers to buy Joan Jordan for a fee of up to £4 million if they agree a loan deal for the midfielder to move to Ibrox, according to a report.

That is on top of the Light Blues covering 60 per cent of the midfielder’s hefty weekly wage - in an initial loan bid reported Gers, offered to pay 30 per cent before a second bid - at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, where he still has three years left to run.

Rangers have been dogged in their pursuit of Catalan star Jordan, who has been at Sevilla for the last five years when he signed from Eibar, but has been told he isn’t part of current boss Garcia Pimienta's plans. Philippe Clement is in desperate need of more quality after a winless pre-season and with the Scottish Premiership kick off and Champions League qualifiers looming.

Sevilla are trying to offload Jordan to free up space in their squad and a move to either Espanyol or Getafe appeared to be on the cards. But neither proposed move came to anything. Rangers seems the best option but only if the financial hurdles can be overcome - and an obligation to buy as was the case with Oscar Cortes and Mohamed Diomande who joined from Lens and Nordsjaelland respectively this summer.

The latest report states: “Sevilla could accept Rangers' offer but if they add a mandatory purchase option for Joan Jordan with an execution date of July 1, 2025. The sum that they must pay from Scotland would be between three and five million euros.”

If Jordan arrives he could be joined by Vaclav Cerny who is expected to arrive on loan from Wolfsburg. Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung report that the left-footed right winger has handed back his club company car and won't be included in the official team
