The latest transfer updates for Rangers include a new incoming link for right-back Bryan Reynolds. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 14 possible arrivals and 9 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Lawrence Shankland. The items below represent the latest news on some of the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Bryan Reynolds
On Tuesday, it was reported that Rangers are intensifying their search for a new right-back, with Westerlo's Bryan Reynolds being a target of significant interest. The 24-year-old American international made 29 appearances in the Jupiler Pro League last season after joining the Belgian club in July 2023. Westerlo is reportedly open to the player leaving this summer but would require a fee of several million.
Joe Gelhardt
The latest update on Tuesday noted that Danny Rohl wants to strengthen his team with new forwards, but Hull may benefit from the situation that the Ibrox club have signed Lawrence Shankland and would require sales to sign another forward. On Monday, it was reported that Leeds United is expected to sell Joe Gelhardt this summer, with Rangers interested. The club has admired Gelhardt since January 2025, and Leeds is aware of the interest and wants to secure the best possible fee. While the shared 49ers Enterprises ownership group could make negotiations easier, Gelhardt has expressed a preference to remain at Hull City, which makes it difficult for Rangers to convince him to move.
Nathan Patterson
On Tuesday, The Telegraph reported that a move to a new club is possible for Nathan Patterson after he had limited game time in the Premier League last season. According to The Times, Everton are listening to offers for the player. This follows a report on Saturday that Rangers could make a move for Patterson as they need a new right-back following the departure of James Tavernier. It was said that Rangers would be in the leading position for Patterson if they were to act on their interest.
Pierce Charles
The Gers have been linked with Sheffield Wednesday's Pierce Charles, who could cost £5m, according to a Tuesday report. He made only one error that led to a shot or goal in the Championship this season. On Sunday, the player was noted as being on a list of potential goalkeeping options for Rangers. Charles stated to the Belfast Telegraph that he is not really focusing on that and will see what happens when the time comes.
Youssef Chermiti
Team Talk reported on Tuesday that FC Porto has a strong interest in Youssef Chermiti, with links having reportedly intensified in recent weeks. Porto are said to view Chermiti as a long-term successor, though he would likely play a secondary role. On Sunday, transfer journalist Rudy Galetti reported on X that FC Porto is monitoring Chermiti closely as they seek a replacement for several forwards.
Dan Neil
On Monday, it was reported that Dan Neil might not move to Rangers and could remain in England after EFL clubs also became interested in signing him. The 24-year-old is a free agent after leaving Sunderland. In a separate update on Monday, it was noted that Neil is keen to move to Rangers, who are believed to be firm contenders to sign him. Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Neil wants to join Rangers for the opportunity to compete for trophies and European qualification.
Joël Piroe
Team Talk reported on Monday that Rangers have been monitoring Joel Piroe since January, with manager Danny Rohl understood to be a keen admirer. However, the addition of Lawrence Shankland and Ryan Naderi, and the club’s determination to keep Youssef Chermiti, means a guaranteed starting spot for Piroe at Ibrox is unlikely, which has currently put any move on hold. On Friday, Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe suggested Rangers may have an advantage in the pursuit of the forward.
