Dan Plumley has maintained that Rangers made a prudent decision to postpone signing Fluminense left-back Jefte until the summer.

“We have looked at the example of the benefit of the Brazilian market being open and the things you can do with that,” Fabrizio Romano exclusively told Ibrox News on Deadline Day. “We have looked at the agreement that the Gers have with the South American defender once the season is over,” the football finance expert acknowledged. The deal appears to be on good terms for all parties. Philippe Clement isn’t exactly in dire need of a new left-back at this point in the season at Ibrox.

”This is the counterargument, which focuses on how the transfer market might operate against you and how everyone has to be on board when there are intermediaries between players and teams and whether or not you’re considering loans and purchases.”

“If one party is unwilling to do that, then sometimes it makes sense to put this one on hold for the time being given the additional expense and hassle, as well as the intense amount of work that goes into a transfer, especially in the middle of the season. When you factor all of that in and there is a deal to be done in the summer that appears to be on good terms and you’re not desperate.”

A new Rangers trade is imminent John Bennett and James Bisgroveat Ibrox.

Jefte was currently on loan at APOEL Nicosia in Cyprus, therefore signing him during the previous winter transfer window would have cost twice as much.

would have been content to wait, no doubt, and Clement is making up for the money they did spend by winning the Scottish Premiership this past weekend.
