Hamza Igamane Nears Rangers Departure Following Double Agreement with Lille
Rangers forward Hamza Igamane is edging closer to a move away from Ibrox as reports indicate a double agreement has been reached with French side Lille, bringing the Moroccan striker’s exit one step closer to completion.
The 22-year-old arrived in Glasgow with considerable promise but has struggled to fully establish himself in Philippe Clementโs first-team plans. Now, with Lille pushing to finalise the deal, Igamaneโs time in Scotland appears to be drawing to a close.
According to sources close to the negotiation, both personal terms and a transfer fee have now been agreed between the two clubs and the playerโs representatives. This breakthrough clears the path for Igamane to officially sign for the Ligue 1 outfit, with an announcement expected soon.
The move comes as part of a wider reshaping of the Rangers squad this summer, with manager Clement keen to build a team more aligned with his tactical vision ahead of a crucial campaign that includes European qualifiers and a domestic title challenge. While Igamane showed flashes of ability during his limited appearances, he never quite managed to secure a consistent starting role amid strong competition in the attacking department.
Lille have been tracking the striker for some time, impressed by his pace, movement, and work rate. The French club views him as a player with untapped potential who could thrive in a new environment. The deal is believed to include performance-based clauses, reflecting both clubs’ recognition of Igamaneโs potential to develop further.
For Rangers, the move represents a chance to recoup part of their investment and create room for new arrivals as Clement continues his rebuild. The departure also opens the door for other attacking talents at Ibrox to step up and stake their claim in the first team.
Igamaneโs imminent exit will be met with mixed emotions among supporters, some of whom had high hopes for the Moroccan attacker when he first joined the club. However, with Lille now poised to secure his services, all signs point to a fresh chapter for the forward on the continent.
As the deal nears completion, Rangers fans will be watching closely to see who comes in to fill the gap, with several forwards already linked to the club as potential replacements.
