Atalanta and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Rangers' Nigerian defender Emmanuel Fernandez, who is also being pursued by Bayer Leverkusen. Rangers are believed to want between £21 million and £25 million for the 24-year-old and will not consider offers below that range. It is also understood that official talks are expected to begin with Leverkusen, who are described as determined to complete a deal. Fernandez, who has 3 caps for Nigeria, joined Rangers in July 2025 from Peterborough United for a fee reported to be around £3.5 million. His current contract runs until 2029, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €18.00m.
