Rangers May Have Found A Buyer for Rabbi Matondo | OneFootball

Rangers are once again making headlines in the transfer market as another player appears to be on his way out of Ibrox. Reports coming from Turkish media suggest that winger Rabbi Matondo is close to completing a move to Gaziantep. While the finer details remain to be confirmed the general expectation is that the deal is likely to go through barring any last-minute hiccups. The summer window is always a time for change and this latest update adds another chapter to Rangers’ busy few months of transfer activity and squad reshaping.

Matondo has been linked with a move away from Rangers for some time now with multiple sources confirming the club were open to offers. He had moments of promise but never quite delivered the consistency or impact expected at Ibrox. Ibrox Noise reported months ago that his departure was on the cards and this latest development suggests that Rangers are finally ready to cash in. The Turkish Super Lig may well offer Matondo the fresh start he needs while allowing Rangers to recover some of their investment.

It is a sensible move all things considered. Philippe Clement has already admitted that certain players will need to move on and Matondo fits the profile of someone who has not quite met expectations. This is part of a broader restructuring effort that has seen a number of arrivals and departures this summer. Fans have been warned not to get too excited by every incoming signing and this Matondo exit feels like the right kind of quiet business that helps make room for better options.

For Matondo himself it will be an opportunity to reboot his career. He has the raw pace and attacking instincts but too often lacked end product in a Rangers shirt. A new environment in Turkey could suit him well and the move is unlikely to be one that Rangers regret. According to ESPN he remains an interesting player with international experience so he should not be short of chances to impress. Rangers fans will simply hope the funds are reinvested wisely as the club continues its efforts to build a stronger side.
