Hammarby sporting director Mikael Hjelmberg stated that he is unaware of how serious Rangers' interest in Hampus Skoglund is, as he has not received communication from them. He also said that the transfer window has not opened and there have not yet been any substantive discussions between Hammarby and any clubs.

TEAMtalk has been told by sources that Rangers have increased their interest in Hammarby right-back Hampus Skoglund, making new contact with the player’s representatives as they look to improve their defensive options this summer. The player has been a subject of interest for the Ibrox club for several months. Sources also revealed the player is highly attracted by the prospect of a move to Rangers. It is understood that Manager Danny Rohl is keen to add another full-back to his squad before the new campaign, following the departure of James Tavernier. Skoglund signed a contract extension last year that runs until December 2029, which means a deal would likely involve a valuation in the range of £2-3 million. Rangers are confident they can persuade both the player and his club, with talks progressing positively.

According to Rangers News, Rangers have opened talks with Hammarby defender Hampus Skoglund about a move to replace James Tavernier this summer, and the report also claims there has been more than one meeting between the parties in recent weeks. Skoglund has been described as being dynamic and as one of the best full-backs in Sweden. Although he is contracted to Hammarby until 2029, Rangers are confident of completing a deal. The player has also admitted he would be open to making a move this summer, describing transfer rumours from abroad as being fun.
