Rangers’ interest in Nagalo
On 20 August, AfricaFoot reported that Rangers are closely monitoring 23‑year‑old PSV Eindhoven centre‑back Adamo Nagalo and may soon lodge an official approach. The interest followed a failed contract with Turkish club Corum FK, where Nagalo had reached a personal agreement.
PSV’s willingness to sell
PSV has made it clear that Nagalo has no future in Eindhoven and is open to selling the defender. In an interview with Eindhovens Dagblad, PSV journalist Rik Elfrink confirmed that the club is willing to let the player leave.
Physical problems halt the deal
The transfer has stalled because Nagalo is currently unable to pass a medical. The Dutch journalist stated that the player is dealing with ‘physical issues’ that prevent him from completing a transfer. Rangers cannot risk pursuing a player who is not immediately fit, especially after the recent Driouech saga.
Other options for Rangers
Without a formal offer from Rangers and without medical clearance, the Ibrox chiefs must turn to alternative centre‑backs before the transfer window closes. The club also plans to sign a winger, with a potential deal for Kim Min‑su from Girona.
Other transfer developments
Meanwhile, winger Couhaib Driouech has moved to Celta Vigo after the Spanish club reached an agreement with PSV. Driouech is now in talks with Celta over personal terms. Additionally, Derek McInnes has indicated that he wants another winger, a striker, and potentially a defender before the window ends.
Conclusion
The combination of PSV’s willingness to sell and Nagalo’s medical issues has halted the transfer, forcing Rangers to shift their focus to other players.
