Nedim Bajrami Issues Clear Message on Rangers Transfer Links Amid Exit Speculation
Sassuolo midfielder Nedim Bajrami has responded firmly to recent transfer speculation linking him with a potential move to Rangers, delivering a message that underlines his current intentions amid growing uncertainty over his future.
Reports in recent weeks have suggested that Rangers are eyeing Bajrami as a creative midfield option to bolster their squad ahead of the new season. The 25-year-old Albanian international, who joined Sassuolo from Empoli in 2023, has impressed with his flair and technical ability in Serie A despite the Italian side’s struggles last term.
However, amid rumours of a summer exit from Italy, Bajrami has now addressed the speculation directly. Speaking to Albanian media while on international duty, he clarified that his focus remains solely on performing at the highest level—regardless of the noise surrounding a move away from Sassuolo.
“I see everything that’s being said, but I’m only thinking about playing football,” Bajrami said. “I’m focused on my national team right now, and after that, I will speak with my club. The future will sort itself out, but I’m not letting rumours distract me.”
His comments suggest a level-headed approach as the midfielder continues to weigh up his options. While he didn’t completely shut down the possibility of a move, he also didn’t give any indication that a switch to Ibrox or elsewhere was imminent.
Rangers manager Russell Martin is reportedly keen to bring in a dynamic attacking midfielder this summer, and Bajrami’s profile fits the bill. Known for his vision, dribbling, and ability to unlock defences, the Albanian playmaker could offer a new dimension to Rangers’ midfield engine room.
Nevertheless, Bajrami’s public remarks hint that any decision about his future will be made carefully and with consideration after discussions with Sassuolo. With the Italian side battling to return to Serie A after relegation, they may be reluctant to let one of their key players leave unless a significant offer is made.
For now, Rangers fans will have to wait and see if the club decides to test Sassuolo’s resolve with a formal bid. Bajrami’s stance suggests he won’t be pushing for a move—but the door remains ajar for a potential transfer if all parties align.
As the summer transfer window unfolds, Bajrami’s situation will be one to watch closely, especially with Rangers actively reshaping their squad for a title challenge next season.
