Breaking News:Rangers told to back out of deal amid £3.5m Oscar Cortes twist…
Rangers have an agreement to sign Colombian winger Oscar Cortes permanently for a £3.5million fee.
Currently on loan from Lens, Gers have an obligation to buy the 21-year-old who joined back in January 2024.
However, he has not featured for the first team as much as he would have liked as he has suffered multiple injury setbacks.
Kris Boyd tells Rangers to back out of deal to sign Oscar Cortes
While Gers have an agreement to pay the French club, there could be a scenario where they might back out of this obligation, likely tied to specific contractual clauses or unforeseen circumstances.
If the loan agreement includes a provision allowing Rangers to void the permanent transfer due to recurring or severe injuries that limit his playing time or performance, the club could exercise this option.
That certainly is the view of Kris Boyd, who has put this down to one of the many mistakes the Bears have made in the transfer market.

“Look, anyone can get injured. But if there’s any way Gers can back out of that deal then they should be looking into it.”

Rangers could look to cite regulatory issues to back out of the multi-million deal
This would protect Rangers from committing £3.5million to a player unable to contribute consistently.
