Joe Aribo Transfer from Southampton to Rangers
According to the Daily Record, a return to Rangers for Southampton playmaker Joe Aribo in January will be decided by boss Danny Rohl.
According to the Daily Record, Joe Aribo could potentially return to Rangers. Joe Aribo moved to St Mary's from Gers in 2022 for a £6 million fee. The Nigeria international is due to become a free agent when his current deal expires in the summer, which means he can speak to clubs outside England about signing a pre-contract agreement from January 1. It is reported that the 29-year-old will be available next month for a fee as low as £1.5 million.
Nigerian publication PUNCH Sports Extra has reported that Southampton will accept a sale for Joe Aribo in January for an offer of approximately €1.7 million. A return to Rangers has been suggested as a possibility for the midfielder. Livingston assistant Marvin Bartley told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard that he thinks a return could happen. Bartley stated that the player enjoyed his time at Rangers, had to leave for a very good offer, and has not played as much football as he wanted. He added that Aribo is still a very good footballer who performed well for Rangers and that he would not be very surprised if he returned in January.
Joe Aribo has reportedly informed his club that he can depart in January, and a return to Rangers has been suggested for the Nigerian international. Reports suggest a £1.5 million fee would be accepted for Aribo, who is approaching the final six months of his contract. Pundit Marvin Bartley believes a move back to Glasgow could emerge for the midfielder and stated that he thinks the move could happen.
Joe Aribo is reportedly looking to leave Southampton following the club's relegation from the Premier League. There is significant interest from Rangers fans in his potential return to the Scottish Premiership, particularly with Russell Martin's arrival at Rangers. Aribo, who is a fan favorite at Rangers due to his goal in the Europa League Final, has indicated his desire to depart from Southampton, with only a year left on his contract. After a difficult season at Southampton, where he struggled for regular playing time following Russell Martin's departure, Aribo is said to be seeking a new club, with Trabzonspor also expressing interest in a potential transfer. The Nigerian international, who has experienced two relegations since leaving Ibrox, is aiming for a move that aligns with his career aspirations, and a return to Rangers under Martin, who reportedly holds him in high regard, could be an attractive option.
