Inside Joe Aribo's Rangers transfer exit talks as Southampton plot next move despite hardline Ibrox stance

Southampton have been told told it will cost them £10million to prise Joe Aribo away from Rangers this summer.

Record Sport revealed back in December that St Mary’s boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has been keeping tabs on the Ibrox talisman, and now the Saints boss is preparing to make his move - with Aribo understood to be keen on a move to the Premier League outfit.

The 25-year-old Nigeria international is one of three key members of Gio van Bronckhorst ’s team with just 12 months remaining on their contracts., but Aribo - a £300,000 bargain buy from Charlton - has already spelled out to the Light Blues’ board he is unlikely to pen new terms. Gers agreed to insert a £10million buy-out clause in his contract when the Londoner moved north to join Steven Gerrard’s squad in 2018, and they are insisting it will take an eight-figure total package for them to consider letting Aribo leave this summer.
