Rangers reach £4.2m Jose Cifuentes agreement, deal to be done within hours
After buying Michael Beale for £1.2 million last summer [Sky Sport], the midfielder will now see a small profit from the Gers after his time with the Scottish club did not work out.
According to The Daily Record, Cifuentes is moving to Cyprus to work with Aris Limmasol. But it appears like Aris Thessaloniki, a Greek team, is landing him, which is confusing the authors at the national daily.
Rangers throw in the towel with Jose Cifuentes deal close
But since joining the Gers in the summer, he has only made 20 appearances for the team; Philippe Clement chose to loan him to Cruzeiro in Brazil for the second half of the previous campaign.
He made just 12 games and failed to leave a lasting impression in a lower-tier league despite having the ability to improve his fitness and match sharpness.
Despite being called up to the Ecuadorian national team for the 2024 Copa America, Cifuentes did not play in any of the team’s games as they were eliminated by Argentina in the quarterfinals.
Though few supporters anticipated the 25-year-old to return to Ibrox, the player may have viewed this summer’s transfer as a chance to start over under the new manager. However, that does not appear to have occurred.
Despite the fact that the club will receive the money when the loan-to-buy commitment is activated in the summer of 2019, Cifuentes appears to be getting closer than ever to clinching a permanent move out of Scotland.
Aris Thessaloniki will be hoping they can assist the player find his form again from his MLS days as it appears to be the best outcome for all sides.
As another twist in the Ibrox transfer situation develops, Connor Goldson has been sighted at Glasgow Airport in unrelated Rangers news.
