Rangers are on the verge of completing the departure of midfielder Mohamed Diomande, with Turkish Super Lig club Corum reportedly finalising the details of a transfer worth around £4.5 million. The 24-year-old is expected to travel to Istanbul on Monday to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms, with reports suggesting Corum have already tabled an official offer close to £4.8 million to get the deal over the line.
The move would mark the end of Diomande's spell at Ibrox as the Scottish giants continue to reshape their squad during a busy period in the transfer market. While the midfielder edges closer to a Turkish adventure, Rangers are simultaneously exploring reinforcements in defence, with Aston Villa right-back Kosta Nedeljkovic emerging as a target. Reports differ slightly on the nature of the proposed deal, with some suggesting Rangers are looking at a permanent transfer for the 20-year-old Serbian, while others indicate the Ibrox club may instead pursue a season-long loan arrangement.
Rangers have also been active on other fronts. The club rejected a bid from Galatasaray worth £22 million for striker Youssef Chermiti, a fee that would have represented a club record sale had it been accepted. Elsewhere, interest in Frosinone winger Farès Ghedjemis appears to have cooled after the Italian club set an asking price of £17.1 million for the 23-year-old, a figure that has reportedly put off several suitors, Rangers included.
Attention has also turned to PSV Eindhoven forward Couhaib Driouech, with Rangers continuing negotiations after having an initial £6 million bid turned down. The Ibrox club are said to be working towards a deal in the region of £7 million for the 24-year-old, though they face competition from Burnley and Celta Vigo. PSV boss Peter Bosz addressed speculation surrounding the winger, insisting that Driouech's absence from the club's Eredivisie opener against Fortuna Sittard was due to a lack of match fitness rather than any transfer distraction.
Away from the first-team picture, Rangers have seen striker Robbie Ure depart for Sevilla in a deal from Sirius reported to be worth up to £7.85 million including add-ons, fending off late interest from Lorient and PAOK. The 22-year-old Scot is set to travel to Spain for a medical before putting pen to paper on a new contract. With Ure's departure from Sirius, the Swedish club are said to be eyeing Aston Villa's 20-year-old forward Rory Wilson as a possible replacement, though IFK Gothenburg and options in England are also in play for the youngster.
Elsewhere in Scottish football, Bournemouth defender Matai Akinmboni is training with Dundee as the clubs discuss a potential season-long loan, while Genoa have shown interest in Hibernian midfielder Josh Mulligan. Sheffield United have reportedly increased their offer for Leicester City centre-back Harry Souttar to £8 million, and Motherwell are weighing up loan possibilities for young midfielder Zander McAllister amid interest from clubs across the English pyramid.
Motherwell's off-field business also saw manager Jens Berthel Askou depart to become head coach of Toulouse. Askou admitted he had been tempted to remain at Fir Park and continue building on the club's progress, but ultimately found the opportunity in France too attractive to turn down.
