Rangers chiefs must speed up as Fabrizio Romano shares £10m+ transfer update

Rangers chiefs will have to speed up in their bid to bring reinforcements to Ibrox in January after Fabrizio Romano reported that David Jurasek is set to join Hoffenheim on loan with a £10.2million option to buy. The Gers were linked with Jurasek multiple times in the past week, with the most promising from teamTALK [17 January] claiming Rangers had tabled a “good offer” for his services.

There is no indication that the deal was definitely on the table for Rangers, but waiting around for another club to swoop in and get the deal done first is not a strategy that can continue in their search for winter reinforcements to their title challenge.
