Everton Launch £10m Bid for Rangers Midfield Star Mohamed Diomande in Shock Transfer Twist
In a stunning development that could shake up Rangers’ summer plans, Premier League side Everton have submitted a £10 million bid for highly-rated midfielder Mohamed Diomande. The Ivorian playmaker, who only joined the Glasgow giants in January, has quickly become a key figure at Ibrox, but his future now appears uncertain following the Toffees’ ambitious approach.
Sources close to the deal suggest Everton are eager to bolster their midfield ranks ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, and see Diomande as a player with immense potential and resale value. The 22-year-old has impressed since making the switch from FC Nordsjælland, contributing with dynamic performances in the heart of Rangers’ midfield.
Rangers initially brought Diomande to Ibrox on loan with an obligation to buy, and he was viewed as a long-term solution in the middle of the park under Philippe Clement. However, with financial fair play pressures and continued squad restructuring, the Scottish club could be tempted to cash in — especially if Everton’s interest leads to a bidding war.
The £10m offer would represent a significant profit for Rangers, who are understood to have completed Diomande’s permanent transfer for around £4.5 million earlier this year. Club insiders admit that such a sizeable offer is being seriously considered, particularly as Clement looks to reshape his squad for European competition and a renewed challenge for domestic honours.
Despite the growing speculation, Rangers remain tight-lipped over the deal. Diomande himself has not commented publicly, though he is believed to be focused on preseason preparations with the club.
Everton, meanwhile, are expected to be active in the transfer market this summer under new manager Sean Dyche, with midfield reinforcements viewed as a top priority. The potential signing of Diomande would offer energy, versatility, and technical ability in a squad looking to avoid another relegation scrap.
Should Rangers accept the offer, it could signal a shift in their transfer strategy — opting to trade for profit rather than hold on to emerging talent. Fans will be watching closely as the situation unfolds, with many hopeful that the club can either retain Diomande or reinvest wisely if a sale goes through.
As things stand, the ball is in Rangers’ court — and their decision could have major implications both on and off the pitch.
