Rabbi Matondo set for Rangers exit door with return to England 'possible'

Rabbi Matondo is free to leave Rangers this summer, according to a report.

The Welshmen struggled to impress after being signed by Giovanni van Bronckhorst last summer after the Light Blues secured the wingers services in a reported £1.8million deal from German giants Schalke. Michael Beale admitted the player was suffering a confidence crisis and despite being given opportunities towards the end of last season, Matondo is reportedly surplus to requirements.

Previously Beale said: "He's a young boy. He's an international, played in the Bundesliga, played in the Belgian league, he's here for a reason. He's maybe having a crisis of confidence."

The Sunday Mirror now report that Matondo is free to leave Rangers this summer with a return to England a possibility.

A report states: "Wales international Rabbi Matondo is free to leave Glasgow Rangers this summer. Matondo spent a loan spell with Stoke in 2021 and could return to English football after being made available by the Scottish club."

Matondo made just six Scottish Premiership stars out of 28 appearances. The promising attacker never managed to score a single goal and only provided five assists.

Meanwhile Rangers have agreed a 'final fee' for Cyriel Dessers from Serie A side Cremonese. The Nigerian International could become Michael Beale sixth summer signing joining Abdallah Sima, who's arrival was confirmed earlier this week as he joins on a season-long loan from Brighton.

Keiran Dowell, Dujon Sterling, Jack Butland and Sam Lammers joined ahead of pre-season with players arriving back to training yesterday.
