Xavier Mbuyamba Transfer from FC Volendam to Rangers
Xavier Mbuyamba is attracting interest from Rangers. Volendam manager Rick Kruys confirmed interest and willingness to cooperate on his departure.
Xavier Mbuyamba, the Dutch centre back, is linked with a move to Rangers. He has expressed a desire to move on before the end of the window. Mbuyamba was once tipped as the next Virgil van Dijk and is in the final year of his contract with FC Volendam. Volendam have prepared for his exit by bringing in Ajax defender Nick Verschuren on loan.
Rangers are reportedly interested in Xavier Mbuyamba as they look for defensive reinforcements. Mbuyamba helped FC Volendam return to the Eredivisie by winning the second division title and is in the final year of his contract. He is reportedly available for £450,000 this summer. Former Volendam star Kees Kwakma expressed surprise that Mbuyamba hasn't found a new club yet, highlighting his qualities as a pure defender and a valuable investment.
Rangers are reportedly eyeing up a move for former Chelsea defender Xavier Mbuyamba, who could act as a successor for Souttar should he leave Glasgow. Elf Voetbal claim that the Ibrox side could land the 23-year-old for as little as £850k should they make their move.
Rangers have shown a strong interest in acquiring Xavier Mbuyamba from FC Volendam. The fact that the player has declined to renew his contract renders him an appealing prospect for clubs, particularly given his 500,000 euros price tag. Rangers are facing competition from KAA Gent and several English clubs. Mbuyamba, a central defender aged 23, has previously been part of the squads at FC Barcelona and Chelsea. Although he is contracted with FC Volendam until 2026, he has emerged as an essential player for the club, with 75 appearances and 10 goals to his name. His prowess in the air enhances his value as a player. Despite his market value being estimated at 1 million euros, Volendam is willing to negotiate a sale at the reduced price due to his current contract situation.
