According to ge globo, Jose Cifuentes has been given permission by Rangers to speak with Cruzeiro on a possible transfer out of Ibrox during the January transfer window.
The Ecuadorian international has been given permission by the Gers to talk about a loan move to the Brazilian team, according to a report published on the Brazilian news outlet’s website on Wednesday, January 31.
It further stated that the 24-year-old midfield player appears likely to be departing Glasgow just six months after joining, thus the Light Blues are seeking to incorporate a £2 million option-to-buy clause in the agreement.
A summer signing by Michael Beale, Cifuentes hasn’t lived up to expectations, and it appears that he will be leaving the Rangers soon.
Just months before the midfielder’s contract with LAFC was about to end, the club reportedly paid £1.2 million to acquire his services because they were so anxious to sign him in the summer of last year.
However, the Ecuadorian’s time in Glasgow hasn’t quite gone as planned, as evidenced by his lacklustre performance in his 20 games thus far this season—his last being against Dundee six weeks ago.
With Philippe Clement clearly not seeing him as part of his plans moving forward, it makes sense to get him off the wage bill and potentially make a small profit on him down the line with the option-to-buy clause.
There could still be a decent player in there after he’s shown flashes of what he can do, but it now seems extremely unlikely that he will ever play at Ibrox again.
