Rangers Pursue German Third-Tier Striker with Active Bid Talks
Rangers have initiated a bid to acquire a new striker from Germany as they prepare for the upcoming transfer deadline. The club has already secured three new players this month, and additional attacking options are now a priority.
Rangers Pursue Striker Ryan Naderi
Light Blues manager Danny Rohl is actively seeking reinforcements after his current strikers have struggled for consistency. Summer acquisitions Youssef Chermiti and Bojan Miovski have not been able to deliver the expected goal-scoring prowess. In response, the club has set its sights on Ryan Naderi, a promising talent playing for Hansa Rostock.
Details of the Bid
- Player: Ryan Naderi
- Current Club: Hansa Rostock (Third Tier of German Football)
- Height: 6 feet 4 inches
- Goals this Season: 8 goals in 17 matches
- Proposed Fee: Approximately £2.6 million
- Age: 22 years
- Status of Negotiations: Ongoing
Naderi began his career with Dynamo Dresden before moving to Borussia Monchengladbach in 2021. After spending two years with their second team, he joined Hansa Rostock in 2024, where he has made significant contributions to his current team’s goal tally.
Potential Transfers and Squad Changes
As Rangers pursue Naderi, there are whispers of potential exits as well. Brazilian striker Danilo, who recently played a key role by scoring in a 3-0 win over Dundee, is being targeted for a loan move back to Dutch football. NEC Nijmegen is reportedly interested in signing him.
January Transfer Activity
If Naderi joins, he will be the fourth signing for Rangers this January, following Tochi Chukwuani, Tuur Rommens, and Andreas Skov Olsen. These additions aim to strengthen the squad as they compete for the league title.
In recent league action, Rangers’ victory over Dundee allowed them to move ahead of Celtic into second place. The gap between them and league leaders Hearts has now narrowed to four points following a 2-2 draw between Hearts and Celtic.
As the transfer window nears its end, all eyes will be on the developments regarding Naderi and the performances of Rangers as they strive for success in the Scottish league.
