Rangers set to lodge official offer for South American winger imminently – report

Rangers are gearing up to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season under Russell Martin.

The 49ers have already demonstrated their ambition for the Light Blues with several confirmed signings at Ibrox—and more are expected to follow. Thelo Asgaard is the latest arrival, completing a reported £3.5m move from Luton Town, joining the likes of Max Aarons, Lyall Cameron, and Joe Rothwell in Glasgow.

Now, Rangers have been linked with another exciting addition: Weslley Patati. The 21-year-old winger, who contributed to 18 goals last season, could be the next attacking reinforcement. According to a report from ONE via X (5 July), the Gers are preparing an official offer for Patati, with a fee of around £8m being discussed.

With Vaclav Černy gone and Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers potentially departing, Rangers are actively reshaping their forward line. Meanwhile, a deal for Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Dor Turegman is already in motion, signaling a clear intent to bolster the squad.

Martin’s success will hinge on whether he can close the gap on Celtic and restore Rangers as genuine title contenders. Early signs in the transfer market suggest the 49ers are backing him to do just that—and the Light Blues’ summer business is far from over.
