Dynamo Kyiv wanted to transfer the defender after being eliminated by Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League qualifiers. Scottish media reported that Dynamo Kyiv and Rangers were working on the transfer of the 21-year-old central defender Clinton Nsiala. Rangers and Dynamo Kyiv negotiated and even agreed on a one-season loan of the player, but Nsiala refused to go to Ukraine and play for Dynamo. Rangers are working on other options for Clinton's departure.

Clinton Nsiala will become a player of Kyiv's Dynamo on loan until the end of the season, according to The Scottish Sun. The 21-year-old French defender, who also holds Congolese nationality, currently with Rangers, will join the reigning champions of the Ukrainian Premier League. In the past season, he played 17 matches and scored 1 goal and 2 assists. Prior to his move, he had also attracted interest from clubs in Belgium. Transfermarkt values him at 500 thousand euros, a career high for the player.
