Rangers are reportedly considering a £4m move for Basel midfielder Metinho. The incoming consortium, backed by the San Francisco 49ers, is keen to make Metinho one of their first acquisitions. The club views him as a potential key signing, with the new owners eager to finalize a deal even before appointing a manager. Metinho is nearing the final year of his contract with Troyes, which is part of the City Football Group. His availability arises from entering the last six months of his contract at his parent club, a situation Rangers might exploit. Currently excelling for Basel in the Swiss Super League, Metinho joined the club in January, making ten appearances and becoming a central figure for the league leaders. As a teenager, he was considered one of Brazilian football's top prospects, although he has faced challenges in consistently fulfilling that potential, having been on loan in Belgium and the Netherlands before making an impact at Basel.
