Danny Rohl’s Rangers’ currently sit four points behind league leaders Hearts with everything to play for.
Ibrox Board Make Their Move
The Rangers board have placed a firm offer on the table for the 22-year-old.
Ryan Naderi has become one of the most talked-about prospects in Germany’s third tier.
While Hansa Rostock are weighing up the valuation, the financial muscle of the Scottish Premiership giants is expected to test the resolve of the German side.
Negotiations are currently ongoing between the two clubs, with Rangers hopeful that a deal can be structured quickly to bring the forward to Glasgow.
Stats Behind The Interest
Naderi has caught the eye of scouts across Europe this season with a clinical edge and creative output.
His profile fits the “player trading model” Rangers have been vocal about implementing:
- Age: 22
- Current Club: Hansa Rostock
- Season Output: 8 Goals, 5 Assists
- Style: A mobile, modern striker capable of playing across the front line.
- Player Stance: Naderi Keen on Ibrox Switch
Youngster Keen On Scotland
It is understood that Naderi is extremely “keen” on the move to Scotland.
The opportunity to play European football and compete for domestic silverware is a significant draw for the youngster.
Sources suggest that Naderi is personally hoping for a swift resolution to talks. Signaling to his current club that his future lies at Ibrox.
Described as a “poacher” and a “mobile modern striker” who is dominant in the air due to his height but also capable of contributing to build-up play
Transfer Boost For Rangers
Naderi’s reported interest in joining Rangers comes as a huge positive for the club after being dealt a transfer blow.
Rangers had been linked with a move for out-of-favour Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil.
The homegrown player was a huge part of Sunderland’s promotion back to the Premier League but has fallen out of favour at the Stadium of Light.
However, their interest could be short-lived with West Ham rumoured to have made a bid worth £6million.
And while Rangers’ riches look good to German III league sides. They don’t compare with Premier league riches.
It remains to be seen whether Naderi is seen as a direct replacement for Danilo or whether there will be more arrivals.
