Rangers transfer news latest as £7m Haji Wright 'bid' launched while Ben Davies not on Ibrox 'chopping block'

The Rangers rebuild is underway and Michael Beale is firing full steam ahead into his preparations for next season.

It doesn't take a lot to get rumours going. A simple family pic from England defender Conor Coady had some sections of the Ibrox fanbase wondering if he was Glasgow-bound, while retained lists are being combed over in search of bargain swoops. Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling are two players definitely part of the attempt to wrestle back Premiership title control, the attacking midfielder and right-back both signing on the dotted line.

But who else is Beale claimed to be after? There's plenty chat about Jack Butland, but the Man United back-up's future will be decided after the Red Devils play the FA Cup final on Saturday. And will Malik Tillman return from Bayern Munich after a loan spell at Rangers? Here are the latest transfer whispers surrounding the Ibrox club.

The Antalyaspor striker is one player who has been linked to Beale's team for quite a while. And now Turkish reports claim that Rangers have made the first move to try and get him to Scotland.

According to Turkish journalist Ertan Süzgün, the Light Blues have made an offer of around £7 million for the American international. But this has been bounced back by the Super Lig club.

There's rival interest to contend with too. La Liga's Villarreal are also reportedly on the case but their €10m (£8.5m) bid has also been booted out, so should they be on the prowl, it would appear Rangers need to spend big.

A man on the lips of many in the Rangers support, Cifuentes is currently in the midst of a busy schedule with MLS side LAFC. But that very run of games could provide a clue to when he could transfer, according to Ecuadorian media.
