Rangers ‘Favourites To Sign’ Dortmund Star As Huge Swap Deal Emerges
Rangers have reportedly emerged as shock favourites to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi — with a sensational swap deal involving Abdallah Sima said to be on the table.
According to sources in Germany, Dortmund are exploring a move for Sima after being impressed by his performances under Danny Röhl this season. The Senegalese forward, currently on loan from Brighton, has reignited his career at Ibrox with blistering pace and consistent goals, catching the attention of several European clubs.
In a surprising twist, reports claim Dortmund could be open to letting Adeyemi move the other way as part of a player-plus-cash exchange, making Rangers the ‘favourites’ to land the 23-year-old German international.
A source close to the negotiations told Bild:
“Dortmund see Sima as a player with huge upside. They’re willing to consider a direct swap if the terms are right. Rangers’ sporting department has already shown real intent to make this deal happen.”
Adeyemi, who joined Dortmund from RB Salzburg in 2022, has struggled to secure a regular starting role this season and is reportedly open to a move where he can “rebuild confidence and form.”
Rangers manager Danny Röhl is said to be a massive admirer of Adeyemi’s versatility and believes his arrival could transform the attack ahead of next season’s European qualifiers.
Should the deal materialize, it would mark one of the biggest transfers in Scottish football history, further underlining Röhl’s ambition to restore Rangers to European prominence.
With talks reportedly “progressing quickly behind the scenes,” Ibrox fans will be watching closely as this potentially blockbuster swap deal unfolds.
