Rangers Reject €17M Bid From Lille For Hamza Igamane | OneFootball

There is a growing sense of interest around this topic as fans look for answers about what is really going on. Reports have started to circulate suggesting significant developments behind the scenes. While speculation always drives attention at this time of year it is the finer details that tend to raise eyebrows among the Rangers support. Questions are naturally being asked and the noise is getting louder.

According to respected Rangers source David Edgar of Heart and Hand, Rangers have rejected a bid from Lille for Hamza Igamane believed to be in the region of €17M. If true that is a staggering figure and would place Igamane among the most valuable sales in Rangers history. However fans with a long memory will recall an eerily similar scenario from the past. Lille were the very club who approached Rangers with a huge bid for Alfredo Morelos years ago and after rejecting that one we ended up losing the Colombian for nothing.

This time the club must be careful not to repeat the same mistake. Igamane has impressed and shown he could become a major asset either on the pitch or in the bank. But if Rangers are holding out for significantly more than 17 million euros then they are playing a risky game. As this Ibrox Noise report shows Lille are not the only ones interested and there is every chance more suitors may come forward.

Rangers have made it clear they rate the Moroccan forward highly and reports suggest they are looking for closer to £20 million. That figure would eclipse most sales in club history and would be a huge financial boost. But repeating past mistakes could see history repeat itself.

The market value of a player is always fluid and influenced by form contracts and buyer demand. Rangers fans will be hoping the board have learned from the Morelos saga and know when to cash in and when to dig in. With Lille circling again and other clubs interested the next move could be pivotal. Whether Igamane stays or goes Rangers need to ensure they do not miss out this time around. The money on the table is enormous and fans expect smart decisions.
