Rangers are hoping to tap into the Saudi oil money well as former boss Steven Gerrard prepared a £2m offer for winger Scott Wright.
Record Sport understands newly appointed El-Attifaq manager Gerrard has placed Wright’s name on a list of targets after agreeing to make the switch to the Middle East earlier this week on the same day as Celtic winger Jota. Wright is part of a phase three wave of transfer targets in this window targeted by the Saudi club are part of the overhaul by the former Ibrox and Aston Villa boss.
Gerrard signed Wright as a free agent from Aberdeen during his time in charge of the Ibrox club and, despite keeping him on the fringes of his first team at that time, he is now ready to splash some cash to make the 25-year-old one of his first new recruits. Wright is deemed surplus to requirements by current Rangers boss Michael Beale who is in the middle of overseeing a major summer rebuild of the squad he inherited from Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
