A Major Push for Attacking Reinforcements
Rangers are reportedly on the verge of securing a significant deal for Girona winger Kim Min-su. Reports emerging from Spain indicate that the Scottish club is prepared to pay the player’s €10 million release clause to bring the 20-year-old to Ibrox before the summer transfer window closes.
The move represents a major financial commitment for a player who has yet to feature consistently at the top level. Kim, who spent last season on loan at FC Andorra, has recorded fewer than 50 professional appearances to date. Despite his limited top-flight experience, sources including journalist Nil Sola of SER Catalunya have suggested that Rangers are moving with “a lot of force” to finalize the acquisition, effectively bypassing lengthy negotiations by meeting the release clause directly.
Stakes for the Season Ahead
The pursuit of the South Korean attacker comes as manager Derek McInnes looks to address vulnerabilities in the squad’s attacking depth. The club has faced pressure to add fresh faces, particularly on the wings, following the arrival of Daisuke Yokota. The injury to Youssef Chermiti has further accelerated the need for reinforcements as the club navigates the final fortnight of the transfer window.
While the interest is confirmed, the potential fee has sparked debate among supporters and analysts regarding the risk-to-reward ratio. With Kim’s contract at Girona set to expire in June 2027, the club is effectively betting on his long-term potential. Competition for his signature has been noted, with reports linking Trabzonspor and Ajax to the player in recent days, though it now appears Rangers have positioned themselves as the frontrunners to secure his services.
Next Steps
As of late Thursday, reports from fan accounts and local media outlets have claimed the deal is “done,” though formal confirmation from Rangers remains pending. The club will need to finalize personal terms and complete medical formalities before the transfer can be officially announced. Further updates are expected in the coming days as the window nears its conclusion.
