Overview
- Rangers opened formal contact with PSV and had an initial offer turned down, with sources saying further bids are expected.
- The sticking point in talks is PSV’s reported valuation of roughly £6 million, which gives the Dutch club room to negotiate because Driouech is on a five-year deal.
- Danny Rohl’s RB Salzburg has been linked with the player, creating competition that sources say has pushed Rangers to move quickly.
- Manager Derek McInnes has earmarked Driouech for a starting role on the left wing after signing Daisuke Yokota for the right, signaling where the club plans to use him.
- Driouech rose through Excelsior and joined PSV in July 2024 after more than 85 appearances; PSV paid about €3.5 million then and some Dutch outlets now seek roughly double that sum, which could force Rangers to reshuffle other summer business if they meet the fee.
