Rangers have been told the price they will need to pay to land Cyriel Dessers this summer, according to a report.
Michael Beale has kicked off his summer recruitment drive by landing both Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling on pre-contract agreements from Norwich City and Chelsea with No1 goalkeeper target Jack Butland set to become capture number three in a big coup. Crystal Palace have opted against a contract extension option after his Manchester United loan.
Five Ibrox stars in the shape of Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Scott Arfield, Allan McGregor and Filip Helander have all left with the Ibrox faithful giving the players a big send off in the final home game of the campaign against Hearts.

The need for attacking options is clear for Beale who wants a new No9. We told yesterday how the Light Blues had a significant seven figure bid already booted out and now the Daily Record report the Italian side have named their price with a fee of over £6.5million required to get the deal done.
Turkish giants Galatasaray are also said to be keen on the Cremonese star. They have suffered relegation from Serie A to the second tier but are not short of cash and not in a position that they must sell. The 28-year-old is still contracted for FOUR years after joining for a similar fee they are looking to recoup from Genk last summer.
Beale and Co will now need to up the ante if they are to land the hitman. The Nigeria international has turned out for Lokern, NAC Breda, FC Utrecht and Heracles in his career.
A move to Scotland would represent a new challenge as the Ibrox management team look to build a squad to end Celtic's domestic dominance and qualify for the Champions League group stage with two qualifying rounds to negotiate this summer.
