Winner named in Rangers and Hoffenheim transfer race for Benfica left-back David Jurasek

The Benfica left-back David Jurasek transfer competition between Rangers and Hoffenheim has a winner.

According to Football Scotland, Hoffenheim has defeated Rangers in the competition to sign Benfica left-back David Jurasek.

The media outlet stated on Friday, January 19, that although they want to bolster the left-back position, the international player from the Czech Republic is not traveling to Ibrox.

The 23-year-old recently relocated from Slavia Prague to Portugal this summer, so he is accustomed to new surroundings.

“Left-back is a position Gers want strengthened but, despite recent links, David Jurasek won’t rock up in Glasgow,” the article states. Instead, the Czech defender prepares to move to Germany to play for Hoffenheim.

Wasting time

It would be a waste of time if Rangers actively pursued Jurasek even though he never seemed like a likely choice.

They need to research the market, compile a shortlist of three willing participants, and then choose which is the greatest fit.

A new left-back needs to be signed as soon as possible, regardless of Ridvan Yilmaz’s departure, since Borna Barisic’s future at the team is in doubt.

The 23-year-old would have been a better choice than Barisic and Yilmaz because he is an attack-minded player.

That does not, however, imply that there aren’t comparable players out there, and scouts are compensated for precisely these kinds of situations.

Rangers lack the financial clout to sign players before elite teams in the top five European leagues or Premier League teams.

They must use modest names that would not catch the attention of these teams and then carry on with their operations.

In other Rangers news, there has been an update on the £4.8 million proposal as progress is made in the team’s attempt to sign a player in January.
