Danilo Rangers transfer latest as striker says Feyenoord 'goodbye'

Danilo has said goodbye to his Feyenoord teammates ahead of his move to Rangers, according to reports.

The Brazilian striker is said to be no longer training with the Dutch champions as he looks to finalise his switch to Glasgow.

The Eredivisie giants are believed to have accepted a £5million offer from the Ibrox club for the 24-year-old goalscorer.

He scored 14 goals in 48 matches last season as he helped Feyenoord lift the league title in the Netherlands.

But he looks set to move on to pastures new in the near future, with a move to Rangers on the cards.

And according to Feyenoord news site 1908, Danilo has formally said goodbye to his teammates and has trained for the last time with them.

It's said he will undergo a medical at the start of next week as Rangers look to push through a deal before the domestic season starts on Saturday, August 5.

If he does sign on the dotted line then he could even be involved at Rugby Park for Rangers' Premiership opener against Kilmarnock.

As well as Danilo, Michael Beale is hopeful of landing Jose Cifuentes sooner rather than later too, having already secured the Colombian on a pre-contract agreement.

The pair will be the eighth and ninth new signings at Ibrox, depending on the order in which they arrive.

Sam Lammers, Abdallah Sima and Cyriel Dessers have already joined to bolster the forward line.

The Rangers Review team is taking the hugely-popular morning briefing LIVE at New Edmiston House on July 28.
