Rangers try to sign David Jurasek as a competing bidder backs out of the agreement.

According to A Bola, Rangers have launched an attempt to sign Czech defender David Jurasek from

Benfica.

On Saturday, January 13, the journal said on its website that Marseille was interested in the left-back but

had chosen to concentrate on Josh Doig, the star player for Hellas Verona.

Jurasek, who has three caps for the Czech Republic, has made 12 appearances for Benfica this season in

all competitions.

“Rangers are interested in David Jurasek,” according to A Bola. “The Glasgow team has already

communicated with the Czech international over the prospect of signing him.

“Marseille even made Jurasek an offer, but in the interim, Verona negotiated the 21-year-old Scottish

A new left-back on the way?

What Rangers manager Philippe Clement has planned for the club’s first transfer window is yet

unknown.

Michael Beale really upended things at Ibrox before he was fired, and there was a lot of movement at the

club in both directions during the most recent transfer window.

Since then, Clement has undoubtedly helped to steady the ship, but for the balance of the season, the

manager might simply wish to bolster with one or two new players.

Additionally, the status of Borna Barisic and Ridvan Yilmaz at left back has recently taken center stage in

the news.

However, Jurasek of Benfica may be difficult to get to Ibrox this month, as the defender only recently

joined the Portuguese powerhouses from Slavia Prague.

Nonetheless, the full-back, who is only 23 years old, has a ton of big-game experience, so Rangers and

their supporters would be quite excited if they signed him.

In other Rangers news, as the club’s legal struggle draws to a close, the Gers have been forced to pay

compensation.
