Rangers Agree Hamza Igamane Transfer to Lille

Rangers have agreed a deal to sell Moroccan forward Hamza Igamane to French Ligue 1 club Lille, with an official announcement expected soon following his medical and paperwork completion. The transfer fee is reported to be around £15 million, with Igamane's former club AS FAR set to receive nearly 30% of the fee, which could amount to about £4.5 million. Igamane, who scored 16 goals in 46 appearances last season for Rangers, was highly sought after by several clubs, but Lille emerged as the frontrunners, aiming to pair him with Olivier Giroud to replace Jonathan David. Rangers’ new owners, 49ers Enterprises, have set a high asking price, reflecting a significant profit on the £1.7 million initially paid for the striker. Alongside Igamane, fellow striker Cyriel Dessers may also leave, potentially clearing the way for Rangers to pursue new attacking options like Dor Turgeman. The club is also advancing talks to sign Conor Coady as they prepare for an important Champions League qualifier and aim to improve after a disappointing previous season.
