Striker Joel Piroe rejected a move to Rangers in January to compete for his position at Leeds United. The Glasgow club had arranged a late move for Piroe if a deal to sign Ryan Naderi from Hansa Rostock was not completed. Piroe informed club bosses that he did not wish to leave for the Scottish Premiership title fight. Speaking to media in the Netherlands about a potential winter move, Piroe explained that a move was not being considered at that moment. He noted that one never knows if an opportunity might arise that cannot be refused, but stated he was not personally keen on moving in the winter. Piroe added that if he were to transfer, he would prefer to join during pre-season to be fully prepared. He said he is not thinking about leaving right now, as he still wants to and can be of value to Leeds and help them avoid the relegation zone.

An exit for Joel Piroe from Leeds United is considered unlikely, amid speculation he could move to Ibrox for the second half of the season due to the 49ers Enterprises’ connection with Rangers and Leeds. The unlikelihood of a move is because Leeds are expected not to sign Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. An exit for Piroe is considered unlikely even though he is behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha in the attacking pecking order.

TEAMtalk reported that Joel Piroe has indicated to Leeds United that he is not interested in moving to Rangers, despite a proposal that was promoted internally by individuals at both clubs. TEAMtalk was told by sources that Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe had suggested sending Piroe to Rangers, and that Rangers manager Danny Rohl was open to considering it. Rangers have indicated they are open to the deal due to difficulties in their attempt to sign Hansa Rostock striker Ryan Naderi. The Dutch striker has firmly resisted the suggestion, indicating that he is not prepared to consider a move to Glasgow at this time. Piroe has previously rejected opportunities to leave Elland Road this month, as approaches from promotion contenders Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough were both rejected. Leeds have indicated he could leave before the deadline, but he has maintained his position so far. Sources have revealed his views on a potential exit are very firm. Leeds are continuing to work on signing another striker before Monday’s deadline. There is a feeling within the club that if Leeds signs a new centre-forward, Piroe’s position might change, and he may feel he has no alternative but to consider a move.

According to the Daily Record, Rangers could make a late transfer move for Joel Piroe. The club has reportedly arranged a move for Piroe if a £2.6m deal for Hansa Rostock's forward Ryan Naderi is not completed before the transfer deadline on Monday night. Sources close to Piroe maintain that the 26-year-old has not abandoned hope of winning a regular starting place under Daniel Farke this season. The report mentions that Rangers are considered highly likely to be a leading contender as both clubs are part of the San Francisco 49ers' group of associated entities. The report also suggests Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe, who sits on the Ibrox board as vice chairman, might use his influence to ensure Piroe agrees to a late move to a location described as north of the border but to the other side of Glasgow. The player has 18 months left on his contract after a £12m transfer from Swansea in 2023.

Keith Jackson suggested that Rangers could sign one more big-name player, possibly Joel Piroe from Leeds United.

The striker won the Championship’s golden boot award last campaign, but has had difficulty getting playing time in the Premier League. The Dutchman is currently believed to want to stay at Leeds and compete for his position, but with the Whites looking to sign a new striker this window, Piroe could be tempted to become Rangers' main forward.
