REPORT: Phillipe Clement mount pressure on Clubs sporting director to SIGN 22 Goals Arsenal UCL slayer as Club Plan to give attacking line fresh dynamism ahead of upcoming season.
According to a report in a Portuguese newspaper on July 28, Rangers are one of two clubs that have submitted a formal bid for FC Porto winger Goncalo Borges. The other team mentioned is Strasbourg, with both clubs making “concrete” proposals for the player. While other teams are also interested, Rangers and Strasbourg are the only ones to have made official offers so far.
Rangers are in need of attacking reinforcements this summer, especially considering the potential departure of Cyriel Dessers, who may be sold to fund new signings. Although Borges is primarily a winger rather than a central attacker, his ability to play on either flank could prove valuable for the Scottish club.
Borges, a Portugal youth international, has made 50 appearances for FC Porto’s senior team. While his goal contribution stats are modest (three assists), there’s potential for further development under Rangers’ management.
Rangers manager Philippe Clement has been actively reshaping the squad this summer, making the team one of the most changed in Europe. The addition of Borges could provide alternative options in attack and potentially serve as a replacement for Todd Cantwell, who is rumored to be looking for a move away from the club.
While a single transfer may not drastically change the team’s fortunes, having additional offensive options could be crucial for Rangers’ upcoming season. The club’s interest in Borges demonstrates their commitment to strengthening the squad and remaining competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
