Cyriel Dessers Rangers transfer exit silence broken as AEK Athens boss directly addresses pursuit of striker
@Source: dailyrecord.co.uk
AEK boss Marko Nikolic has poured cold water over talk that Rangers frontman Cyriel Dessers could be on his way to Greece. Record Sport understands that while the Athens side are very keen on the Nigeria international - who has has shook hands on a £30,000 a week contract - the clubs are yet to agree a transfer fee. Gers are hoping to make a profit on the £4.5million they shelled out to bring Dessers to Ibrox in 2023, where the number nine has scored 51 goals across the past two seasons. Reports in Greece recently claimed that the two parties were working on closing the distance in the figures in order to strike a deal but head coach Nikolic has hinted that his side's focus is not on bolstering their options in the forward department. Asked if a new attacker was on his immediate wishlist after Saturday's 6-0 friendly victory over FC De Westhoek, the Serbian responded: "No, because in attack we are good with Zini, Pierrot, Martial and even Eliasson. "We are working on the left-back, but we have time. Full-backs on the market are always a difficult matter. It is not a big issue, we are also looking for a player for another position." Meanwhile, former Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara has been told he is free to leave Rennes this summer - according to a report. The Finland star joined the Ligue 1 side from Leeds United for £8.5million last July only to be shipped out on loan to Saudi Pro League outfit Al Shabab six months later. HommeduMatch claim that Rennes are planning a big clear out of the squad this summer after a disappointing league season where they finished the campaign in 12th place. Also on their reported transfer list is Celtic hero Kyogo Furuhashi, who made just six appearances in the French top tier following his £10million switch from Parkhead back in January. The Japan striker is said to be a target for English Championship new boys Birmingham City, while Premier League side Bournemouth have also been credited with an interest in the 30-year-old.
