“Thelwell’s GENIUS Move: Rangers Dump ‘UTTERLY DISASTROUS’ Star for a JAW-DROPPING Blockbuster Fee!”
Kevin Thelwell Delivers a Stunning Transfer Windfall for Rangers
Rangers secured progression to the next round of the UEFA Champions League despite suffering a 2-1 defeat to Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday.
The result continues a strong month for the Gers, which has also seen the loan signing of Mikey Moore.
Manager Russell Martin could hand the youngster his debut against Alloa Athletic in the Scottish League Cup at Ibrox.
Meanwhile, Director of Football Nils Thelwell is pushing through another major change—one that is set to grab fans’ attention.
Jefte to depart Ibrox in £6m deal
Signed on a four-year contract for around £800,000 in May last year, Jefte’s time at Rangers has been underwhelming.
His performance in the first leg against Plzen drew heavy criticism after he received a booking for letting frustration get the better of him, and his role in conceding a goal late in the first half was met with backlash from supporters.
Scottish sports writer and Bunkered Podcast host Michael McEwan even described Jefte on X as an “unspeakably bad” footballer.
Despite his struggles, Rangers are set to secure a windfall from his departure.
According to Rangers Review, the club will receive £6 million when Jefte completes a move to Palmeiras in the coming days—representing a profit of over £5 million on last year’s investment.
For a player who never fully settled, it’s a remarkable piece of business by Thelwell.
Transfer business still needed
Although Rangers have enjoyed a productive summer window, further reinforcements remain essential.
Strengthening the goalkeeping department is a priority for Martin, with Pierce Charles identified as the leading target.
The club is reportedly prepared to make a firm move for the Sheffield Wednesday stopper.
With Champions League qualification within touching distance, Rangers cannot afford to lose momentum and must ensure their squad is fully equipped for the challenges ahead.
