Rangers Near Loan Signing of Bournemouth Defender Aarons

Rangers are actively reshaping their squad under manager Russell Martin, with Bournemouth right-back Max Aarons finalizing a season-long loan move after completing his medical in Glasgow; the deal includes no obligation to buy. The club is also preparing an offer for Liverpool's left-back Owen Beck, seeking a permanent transfer despite Beck's ongoing contract talks with Liverpool. Leicester City defender Conor Coady is eager to join Rangers and is expected to complete his transfer soon for a reduced fee. Meanwhile, Rangers are negotiating to renew midfielder Nico Raskin's contract amid interest from Aston Villa, whose valuation of the player has increased following his international appearances. Rangers have approved the transfer of Wales winger Rabbi Matondo to Turkey's Gaziantep, and Greek club AEK Athens are pursuing a £4.5 million bid for Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers, which was initially rejected. Additionally, Queens Park Rangers have moved ahead in signing winger Kwame Poku, who was also a target for Rangers but may now join QPR after undergoing a medical.
