According to sources for Football Insider, Rangers are hopeful of completing a quick deal to sign Excelsior centre-back Casper Widell. The Glasgow club has been monitoring the 23-year-old in recent months. Widell is in the final year of his contract with Excelsior, and sources have indicated that the Dutch club will be willing to sell him for a fee of approximately £2-2.5million this summer. Rangers are understood to be capable of paying such a fee and feel that swift decision-making could allow them to sign Widell, who is likely to transfer this summer due to his contract situation.

According to the Daily Record, two Swedish players, Oskar Fallenius and Casper Widell, are potential signings for Rangers and have been heavily linked with the club.

According to Expressen in Sweden, Rangers have made an approach to sign Casper Widell from Excelsior. The 6 foot 4 defender is reportedly dreaming of a significant transfer this summer, and while it is Rangers who have made early contact, Blackburn Rovers and Derby County are prepared to commence competing pursuits.

It has been reported that Excelsior defender Casper Widell could make a move away from the club, which he would consider a dream, in the coming weeks. His contract is set to expire in June of the next year, meaning this summer could be the last significant opportunity for Excelsior to receive a substantial fee for him. It is mentioned that a move to Rangers would present the opportunity to participate in European football and to compete for trophies on a regular basis. On 21 May, Widell posted on his Instagram account that the season was over, the goal had been achieved, and that it was time to recover and prepare for what was to come.
