Rangers slap ₦6.2 billion asking price on Super Eagles star Cyriel Dessers

Rangers has placed a new price tag on Cyriel Dessers, which is about £3.35 million (₦6.2 billion).

The Super Eagles star has been the subject of transfer speculation following interest from Italian Serie A side Cagliari. 

The striker has seen his playing time in the Scottish side limited this season despite putting up good numbers.

In his last five games across all competitions, the Super Eagles forward has scored six goals and provided two assists, demonstrating his outstanding form.

The new price tag has cast doubt on a possible deal despite Cagliari's aggressive pursuit of Dessers' signature, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via Ibrox News.

The possibility of a deal being reached has been called into question since the Italian club is hesitant to meet Rangers' updated valuation.

Rangers are keen to recover a significant portion of the £4.5 million they spent on Dessers' 2023 transfer from Cremonese because of his current performance, which has presented a problem.

The club now runs the danger of driving Cagliari off the market, following the increase in the strikers asking price.

Rangers' assessment of Dessers will be closely monitored as the transfer window nears its conclusion.

Although Cagliari's interest has been widely reported, it is unclear if other teams will be prepared to pay the Scottish Premiership team's updated asking price.
