Rangers FC are reportedly eyeing a surprise move for Ibrahim Kaba, the €12 million-rated centre-back currently at Stade Rennais, in what could become one of the most debated signings of their summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old defender emerged as one of the standout young prospects in Ligue 1 last season, showcasing excellent defensive awareness and composure on the ball. Now, Rangers are hoping to lure him to Ibrox — but the potential transfer has fans split down the middle.
⚔️ A Risk Worth Taking?
Kaba’s raw talent is undeniable. Strong in aerial duels, quick off the mark, and calm under pressure, the Guinean international is seen as a player with huge upside. However, his limited top-level experience raises questions about how quickly he could adapt to the intensity of Scottish football.
Rangers are believed to be exploring a loan-to-buy deal, which would limit financial risk if the move doesn’t pan out as hoped.
🧠 Tactical Fit or Panic Buy?
Some supporters view this as a smart long-term investment — a young, athletic defender who could slot into Russell Martin’s system and develop quickly. Others see it as a risky gamble at a time when defensive stability is key to Rangers’ domestic and European ambitions.
With multiple new faces already at Ibrox this summer, fans are wondering: Is Kaba the final piece — or just another name in the mix?
⏳ What’s Next?
Talks are said to be underway, and a formal offer could materialize before the window slams shut.
Stay tuned — this could be a deadline day move that stuns the SPFL.
