BREAKING: Player rejects Philippe Clement’s team for the demoted club, dealing Rangers a blow in the race for a signature.
Expressen reported on Thursday that Hammarby IF was notified by Rangers of their intention to purchase Nathaniel Adjei during the summer transfer window. Additionally, it was reported that Philippe Clement’s team will soon make an offer for him.
The 21-year-old was on loan with a buyout option at FC Lorient for the second half of the just finished season.
According to reports from yesterday, the French team chose not to exercise their option to buy after being demoted from Ligue 1, opening the door for Rangers and Anderlecht to pursue the defender.
According to a recent story from Expressen, there has been a development that will not sit well with Rangers and its followers.
Both Rangers and Anderlecht have informed the Swedish team that they are prepared to submit a proposal for the Ghana U23 international.
It is said that on Thursday night, when Lorient made the decision to acquire the center-back by exercising the SEK 65 million [€4.8 million] purchase option, the “situation reversed.” This indicates, according to the source, that Adjei “turns down” Anderlecht and Philippe Clement’s side.
Tony Appiah, Adjei’s agent, has announced that his client will be moving to Lorient.
It’s just formality now. He declared, “Nathaniel Adjei will play for Lorient.”
Rangers and Philippe Clement are devastated because they were hoping to get the player to Ibrox.
