Besiktas will have to drop their £6million asking fee for Ridvan Yilmaz if Rangers are to do a deal.
The Turkish international left-back has been on the Ibrox club's radar for some time, but the position has become more of a priority since Calvin Bassey completed his £19million switch to Ajax, landing the Rangers a club record fee in the process. Some of that has already been invested back into the squad. Ben Davies ' signing was confirmed ahead of last night's friendly victory over West Ham United.
The former Liverpool defender penned a four-year deal after a £3million fee was agreed with the Reds, which could rise to £4million with add-ons. Davies is primarily a left-sided centre back, but can also play one over at full back. However, Gio van Bronckhorst wants a specialist to compete with Borna Barisic. Youngster Adam Devine has featured this pre-season, but the Govan club want a more experienced option.
