Hamza Igamane’s absence from Rangers training today has reignited fresh speculation over his future at Ibrox. With links to Everton, Wolves and Lille refusing to go away the Moroccan attacker’s situation continues to raise questions about what the club intends to do with him. Reports have hinted at interest from multiple leagues and now this unexplained omission only adds fuel to the fire. A recent Ibrox Noise article suggested that Rangers already looked to move him on earlier this window.
Rangers sources have confirmed the reason for Igamane’s non-involvement citing negotiations. And with the transfer window wide open and clubs circling it’s certain that negotiations are indeed ongoing behind the scenes. Rangers must make decisions soon with squad balance and wage allocation becoming ever more critical. Supporters have started to notice how frequently this particular name keeps cropping up in transfer rumours, especially after Lille reportedly cooled their interest.
Recent reports indicated that Igamane remains a valuable asset and his profile fits what several Premier League clubs are chasing. Despite no formal bids going public the absence today makes it clear that something could be developing in the background. Philippe Clement brought him in with big hopes but a fresh start might now suit both parties. The ongoing chatter surrounding his exit gained further traction after details emerged about financial clauses that could affect Rangers’ proceeds from a sale.
Another source suggested today’s developments may indicate that Igamane’s representatives are in advanced talks with a potential new employer. A swift resolution would help Russell Martin reshape his forward options before the new season. The club would prefer not to lose money on a player they once rated highly and who still has strong resale potential. Igamane still trains at a high level and his ability in the final third has impressed scouts across Europe.
Media outside Scotland have also picked up on this story. Several outlets believe Rangers could move fast if the terms suit them. Igamane has not handed in any formal request but his continued links to Wolves and Everton show that the player still holds appeal at a top level. Rangers fans will now wait to see whether this turns out to be another saga or a clean exit. Either way Igamane’s next move may come very soon.
