Rangers make exciting move amid pursuit of star who is 'one of the most sought-after players in his position'

Rangers are said to be leading the chase for a midfielder who is catching the eye of clubs around Europe - with a deal possibly not costing much.

Ryan Fosso only joined Austrian side Sturm Graz in January but his form has already made him one of this summer transfer window’s hottest properties. Torino in Italy and Levante of Spain are said to have registered their interest in the Cameroon international but it’s Rangers who’ve made the most concrete moves.

In an exciting update in terms of the Premiership side’s possible next signing, it’s stated that Fosso’s attributes being displayed in consistent fashion is what has attracted suitors, although Rangers’ lead in the race remains fragile. Much could still change but there’s been contact made with the 23-year-old’s representatives over a move to Govan. Rangers News meanwhile add a deal ‘can be done on the cheap’ with an initial fee to get things moving only in the six-figure range.

What midfielder could Rangers sign this summer transfer window?

Sky Sports broke the story and claimed: “Having arrived at Sturm Graz during the winter transfer window, Ryan Fosso (23 years old) continues his impressive rise. Here's the story. Having become a Cameroonian international in March 2026 after switching his sporting nationality, the Lugano-born defensive midfielder is confirming, match after match, the potential he displayed in the Eredivisie and then in Austria.

“According to our information, Glasgow Rangers are currently the club furthest along in the pursuit. The Scottish club's management has already begun discussions with the player's representatives to assess the terms of a potential transfer.

“Meanwhile, Torino, along with another Italian club whose name has not yet been revealed, are also closely monitoring the situation. These Italian clubs have recently inquired about the terms of a potential agreement, while Levante has taken action by submitting an initial contract offer to the Cameroonian midfielder's representatives.

Who is Ryan Fosso and why would Rangers want to sign him this summer?

“This intense competition is hardly surprising. Ryan Fosso has established himself as one of the most sought-after players in his position. A modern midfielder, he combines excellent game reading, controlled aggression in duels, and a ball-winning ability that allows him to extinguish numerous dangerous situations. His work rate, tactical intelligence, and capacity to cover large areas make him a true asset to his team. His off-the-ball qualities, constant pressing, and positional awareness have also been regularly highlighted since his arrival in Graz.

“Beyond his defensive impact, Fosso also possesses remarkable technical skill. Under contract with Sturm Graz, Ryan Fosso could quickly become one of the hottest transfer topics of the next window. Rangers have taken the lead, but Torino and Levante remain firmly in the running for a player whose stock continues to rise. This situation is still very fragile and could change rapidly. Everything could still happen.”

Midfield is an area Rangers have already recruited in this summer. Dan Neil has arrived after the end of his contract at Sunderland while Ross McCrorie has the ability to play in defensive positions in the engine room. Others have been linked with moves to Rangers as boss Derek McInnes looks for reinforcements in the middle of the park.”
