Who is to be blame? As another Rangers Ace set to make official announcement over Exist decision in the next few hours Amid Player reveal no doubt of his departure…. The Gers fans can’t imagine this.
Ecuadorian midfielder Jose Cifuentes is on the verge of joining Greek club Aris Thessaloniki from Rangers, according to reports from Ecuadorian media on August 12. The 25-year-old has reportedly arrived in Greece for his medical examination, with the transfer expected to be finalized shortly.
The deal is structured as a loan until the end of the 2024-25 season, with Aris having an obligation to purchase Cifuentes for $4.5 million (approximately £3.5 million) at the end of the loan period.
This transfer is part of a larger squad overhaul at Rangers under manager Philippe Clement, who joined mid-season in 2023/24. Several players, including John Lundstram, Ryan Jack, Borna Barisic, Kemar Roofe, and Connor Goldson, have already left the club this summer.
Cifuentes’ departure will provide Rangers with a significant financial boost. It’s crucial for the club to reinvest this money to strengthen the squad, especially given their apparent struggle to compete with Celtic in the league, as evidenced by their first two domestic matches of the season.
The article suggests that Rangers should have a replacement lined up and that transfer activities may accelerate once Cifuentes’ move is completed. It also mentions that Clement’s primary focus is on further transfers before the August 30 deadline.
