Opinion: Rangers Summer Signing Could Benefit from £3.7m January Transfer Development at Ibrox

The Brazilian defender has experienced a mixed start at Rangers since joining from Fluminense in July, making 16 Scottish Premiership starts so far.

As the January transfer window unfolds, speculation about the 21-year-old’s future at Ibrox has arisen.

However, recent developments could provide him with an unexpected opportunity to solidify his place in the squad.

Jefte Could Benefit from Yilmaz’s Potential Departure

Former APOEL Nicosia defender Jefte may see increased game time at Rangers if a reported transfer involving Ridvan Yilmaz materializes.

According to Günebakış, Yilmaz has been linked with a return to Besiktas, where the Turkish club values him at £3.7 million.

Yilmaz, a Turkey international with over 60 appearances for Besiktas, could find a move back to his homeland appealing, making it a logical decision for all parties involved.

If the deal is finalized before the window closes, Jefte could be called upon to step into a more prominent role in the squad.

This scenario might provide the young Brazilian with the chance he has been waiting for to demonstrate his potential and become a regular starter for Rangers.

Such a development could be a turning point for Jefte, offering the boost he needs to thrive under Philippe Clement’s management as the team enters the crucial second half of the season.
