According to talk in Spain, Oscar Cortes, who moved permanently to Rangers from RC Lens for £4million last summer, could be sent back to Glasgow next month. The winger has made two starts in his seven appearances for Sporting Gijon. While FIFA regulations do not typically permit players to represent more than two teams in the same season, it is being claimed that Gijon could use FIFA article 5.3m. This article contains a special exception that would allow Cortes to join another team whose fixture schedule runs at a different time, permitting a move to the USA, South America and other leagues that do not follow the traditional European format. Cortes has admitted he is aware of the situation but is determined to succeed during his loan spell.

Amid talk that Oscar Cortes could return to Rangers in January, sources in Spain have claimed Sporting Gijon could terminate the winger's loan agreement next month. The winger was sent on loan to the Spanish second-tier side last summer, weeks after completing his permanent transfer to Ibrox from Lens for £4 million. Speaking to El Comericio, he said he is focused on the team and on what is happening there, and that other things are beyond his control. He added that his mindset is to stay there and be with the team, and to give his best every day and in every match so he can play, stating his focus is at Sporting with his teammates.

Sporting Gijon are reportedly considering ending Oscar Cortés's loan early, which would see the 21-year-old winger return to Rangers. The Colombia international completed a permanent £4.5 million transfer to Rangers from Lens last summer before being sent on a season-long loan to the Spanish second-tier club. Cortés has only started one of his five appearances. Spanish outlet El Comerico reports that Sporting Gijon may discuss terminating the loan agreement with Rangers. The current deal is contracted for the rest of the season and includes no obligation for a permanent signing. Cortés's contract with Rangers runs until June 2029, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m.
