Rangers Make Shock £6M Offer For Croatia Striker | OneFootball

Rangers are stepping up their summer recruitment drive with a strong push to sign Croatian striker Matija Frigan. The club are said to be leading the race for the 22-year-old forward, fighting off serious interest from German side Hamburg and English Championship outfit Hull City. With all three clubs keen to land the attacker it appears Rangers are currently in pole position according to reports surfacing today.

The fee being discussed is significant. Both Rangers and HSV are reportedly willing to table an offer of seven and a half million euros for Frigan. That figure highlights just how highly rated the player is and how serious Rangers are about strengthening their frontline. With that level of investment they are clearly looking for a ready-made forward capable of delivering goals consistently in the short term.

Frigan has shown real promise in his current spell in Belgium with KVC Westerlo. His movement intelligence and goal-scoring ability have caught the eye across the continent and Rangers appear convinced he could be the man to lead their line next season. The fact that clubs from three different countries are battling over him shows the scale of his potential and the pressure on Rangers to act decisively.

It also signals that Rangers are moving quickly this summer and are not content to sit on their hands. With players departing and questions around the consistency of their current striking options the need for a fresh and effective forward has never been greater. Frigan looks to fit the bill and Rangers fans will be encouraged by reports that they are ahead in the queue.

It remains to be seen whether Frigan will favour a move to Ibrox over the alternatives but Rangers’ European profile the intensity of the Glasgow rivalry and the chance to play for silverware every season may just tip the scales in their favour. The proposed fee is a real statement from the board that they are prepared to back the manager and target high-quality talent who can hit the ground running.

Should they get the deal over the line it could be one of the biggest summer coups for the club. But with competition from HSV and Hull City things are far from certain. What is clear is Rangers’ intent to make a marquee signing up front and their confidence in Frigan’s ability to deliver. Source
