“Rangers Set to Smash Transfer Market with £50M Bid for Kevin Boma, the ‘Titanium Fortress’ to Obliterate ‘Brick Wall’!”

Rangers have three pressing concerns in their squad, but the most costly has been their defensive instability.

A lack of consistency has led to over 15 different defensive combinations this season—clear evidence that the club must recruit more dependable centre-halves.

After bringing in Rafael Fernandes in January, Rangers are now reportedly targeting another talent from the Portuguese league.

Foot Mercato claims the club is preparing a £5 million bid for Kevin Boma, Estoril’s imposing centre-back, who joined the club from Rodez just last summer.

Standing at 6ft 4in, Boma is a commanding presence and a full Togo international. He’s also attracting attention from Union Berlin and Basel.

Should Rangers secure his signature, it would mark a serious statement of intent and show recognition of how vital a dominant centre-half is—particularly in the domestic league.

With a significant gap to Celtic, it’s essential that Director of Football Nils Koppen and recruitment chief Kevin Thelwell get this deal right.

To facilitate Boma’s arrival, Rangers may look to offload players. Encouragingly, Birmingham City are reportedly keen on both Ben Davies and Kieran Dowell.

Davies, once described as a “brick wall,” restored his strong reputation since arriving from Liverpool.

While Rangers may not recoup the full £4 million fee they paid for him, a decent return could help fund the majority of Boma’s £5 million price tag.

This reflects the essence of the player trading model—selling to reinvest, but upgrading with someone who could be developed and later sold for profit.

Rangers have struggled to replace Filip Helander since the Swede’s injury issues disrupted his career.

Boma, with his physical attributes and potential, could be the ideal long-term successor—capable of handling the rough-and-tumble nature of the SPFL and the demands of European football alike.
