Overview
- Reports Thursday linked Rangers to Moreirense centre-back Gilberto Batista and said Wolves want about £10m to turn Nasser Djiga’s loan into a permanent move.
- O Jogo put Batista’s price near £2.6m, with the 22-year-old under contract to 2027 and offered new terms that could force a sale only if he refuses to extend.
- Scouts from Ibrox were reported to have watched Batista in Moreirense’s 3-0 loss to Porto, a sign the club is advancing checks on defensive options.
- Wolves, recently relegated, are reported to seek the fee they paid in winter 2025 for Djiga, which would make a permanent deal expensive for Rangers.
- The push comes after captain James Tavernier said he will leave this summer, with separate reports noting interest in Emmanuel Fernandez and pointing to wider turnover at the back.
