Rangers Target Toure as Defensive Reinforcements Begin
With Leon Balogun set to depart Ibrox at the end of his contract, Rangers are actively pursuing a replacement to strengthen their defensive line.
The summer promises to be a busy one at Ibrox, with new owners now in place and a managerial appointment expected soon.
As part of the squad rebuild, Rangers are prioritizing defensive reinforcements—one of their top targets is 29-year-old Malian international Boubakar Kouyaté Toure.
According to Africa Foot (31 May), Rangers have entered the race to sign Toure, who is available on a free transfer.
However, the deal hinges on agreeing personal terms, particularly salary. If those terms are met, Toure is expected to join the Glasgow club this summer.
Interest in the versatile defender is growing, with Genoa, Trabzonspor, and Philadelphia Union also reported to be monitoring the situation.
Toure, who can play both centre-back and right-back, would provide tactical flexibility and cover in multiple positions.
After a season disrupted by injuries, Toure has bid farewell to his previous club in Germany and is seeking a fresh start.
Rangers view him as a low-risk addition with experience in top-flight football who could bring immediate value to the squad.
Under the stewardship of new owners 49ers Enterprises, Rangers are expected to move decisively in the market.
A transfer budget of around £20–25 million, thanks to the new investment, should allow the club to offer competitive terms to their top targets.
With a new manager—likely Davide Ancelotti or Russell Martin—set to shape the squad for the 2025/26 campaign, Rangers are determined to add depth and experience to their backline.
Toure’s arrival would address gaps left by Balogun and loan returnees like Neraysho Kasanwirjo.
Securing the Malian defender would signal Rangers’ intent to rebuild effectively and ensure a more stable, versatile defence ahead of the new season.
