Overview

  • Lille met the £10.4m (€12m) release clause in Igamane’s contract and Rangers accepted the offer, with the forward expected to complete a move once final steps are done.
  • Sky Sports reported the 22-year-old missed training before Wednesday’s Champions League play-off against Club Brugge, with the club understood to believe he was not injured.
  • The transfer push followed Sunday’s draw at St Mirren, where head coach Russell Martin said Igamane told him he was injured when asked to come on as a substitute.
  • Lille returned to negotiations after an initial loan proposal was rejected, while Feyenoord also registered interest in the Morocco international.
  • The Times reported Martin expects the deal to conclude soon and noted the sale would deliver a significant profit on a player signed for about £1.7m last year.
