Rangers are set to part ways with midfielder Mohamed Diomande, with Turkish Super Lig side Corum finalising the details of a move that could be worth up to £4.8 million for the Ibrox club.
The 24-year-old is expected in Istanbul on Monday for a medical and contract discussions, according to multiple reports. Corum are widely reported to have tabled a formal offer in the region of £4.8m, with an initial figure closer to £4.5m also cited by other sources.
Nedeljkovic and Driouech also on Rangers' radar
With Diomande heading for the exit, Rangers are actively pursuing replacements. The club are exploring a potential season-long loan for Aston Villa's 20-year-old right-back Kosta Nedeljkovic, with both the Daily Record and The Herald reporting that talks are at an early stage.
Rangers also remain in discussions with PSV Eindhoven over winger Couhaib Driouech, despite having a £6 million bid rejected. PSV head coach Peter Bosz has attributed Driouech's absence from their Eredivisie opener against Fortuna Sittard to a lack of fitness rather than transfer speculation. Burnley and Celta Vigo are also reported to be monitoring the situation, with Rangers understood to be targeting a deal worth around £7 million.
Meanwhile, a previous bid from Galatasaray worth £22 million for striker Youssef Chermiti — which would have been a club record sale — was rejected by Rangers.
Ghedjemis price tag cools interest
Frosinone winger Farès Ghedjemis, 23, has attracted interest from several clubs, including Rangers, but Frosinone's asking price of £17.1 million is reported to have dampened that enthusiasm considerably.
Ure heads to Sevilla; Wilson eyed as replacement
Elsewhere in Scottish football, striker Robbie Ure has completed a move to Sevilla from Sirius worth approximately £7.7 million to the Swedish club — £5.8 million fixed, with the remainder in performance-related add-ons. The 22-year-old chose Sevilla over late approaches from Lorient and PAOK, and he is set to arrive in Spain on Monday for a medical.
Sirius are now looking to replace Ure and have identified Aston Villa youngster Rory Wilson, 20, as a potential target. IFK Gothenburg are also interested in Wilson, who has further options in England and Spain.
