The news outlet reported on 26 January that he was recently left out of his side’s matchday squad so that could be a clue that he’s on the move.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that an agreement has already been reached with Fluminese, his parent club, for a January transfer.
The report reads: “Rangers could make Jefte their third January capture after it was reported an agreement was in place for the Brazilian left-back.
“The deal is complicated by the fact the 20-year-old is on loan in Cyprus with APOEL and it could hinge on them agreeing to end his spell there prematurely to allow the move to Ibrox to go ahead. But he was left out of their league match this evening and that indicates we may seem move movement soon.”
Tricky
Rangers now find themselves navigating options to facilitate Jefte’s arrival.
One option involves negotiating with APOEL to terminate the loan agreement, allowing Jefte to join the club in January.
Another scenario may involve securing a pre-agreement with Jefte for a summer transfer once his loan concludes.
Gers could also explore potential incentives or financial compensation to encourage APOEL’s cooperation in releasing Jefte early.
The situation underscores the intricate nature of mid-season transfers involving loaned players and necessitates effective communication and negotiation between the clubs to secure the 20-year-old’s services before the transfer window closes.
It is evident that Rangers are hurrying in their pursuit as Borna Barisic is running out of time at Ibrox as his deal expires in the summer and Ridvan Yilmaz has been linked with the exit door this month.
