RABBI MATONDO has sidestepped Schalke's training camp in Austria and is now free to talk to transfer business with Rangers.
The Ibrox club are believed to have agreed on a deal in principle with the Welsh international as Giovanni van Bronckhorst looks to add to his attacking ranks.
Matondo has not travelled with Schalke to their pre-season training base, which now paves the way to a possible move to Glasgow.
Van Bronckhorst was tight-lipped on the transfer yesterday, but he did reveal that the club are busy behind the scenes.
He said: “Ross is busy. Of course we want to add more players to our squad and he is busy talking with players, talking with agents and clubs.
“Now we have so many people involved in those talks. I am hopeful that we can add more players in the coming week.
“We are busy. We have several players that we are watching and talking with. When it is 100 per cent we will communicate.”
