Rangers are among the clubs interested in signing Lecce's 29-year-old midfielder Lassana Coulibaly. They are competing with the Saudi club Al-Fateh SC, which has made the Mali international its primary target. It is reported that Al-Fateh has had positive discussions with the player's representatives and is optimistic about an agreement with Lecce, whose interest was heightened by his performances at AFCON.
The Saudi club is reportedly attempting to complete a transfer quickly due to increased competition, which also includes Trabzonspor, Red Star Belgrade, and other unidentified clubs in Italy and Spain. Lecce is willing to sell Coulibaly for €4-5m, and an offer of €4m might be sufficient for Rangers to sign him. Coulibaly joined Lecce in August 2024 and his contract is valid until June 2027. The midfielder has 55 caps for Mali. In 21 Serie A appearances this season, he has 2 goals and 1 assist. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €2.50m.
