According to a recent development regarding his future, Rangers and one current player have already reached an agreement over a significant new contract this summer.
Rangers contract details
In the end, the Gers had a successful January transfer window, adding several significant loan players to strengthen Philippe Clement’s roster depth. Being a talented young attacker, Fabio Silva was an exciting addition when he joined on a temporary basis from Premier League team Wolves. Oscar Cortes, meanwhile, arrived at Ibrox later than expected and stayed there until the end of the season after leaving Lens.
Both are only expected to be with the team through the summer, at the very least. They hope to have a positive influence on the Scottish Premiership title race, as well as on players like Borna Barisic, John Lundstram, Ryan Jack, and Kemar Roofe, who will all be out of contract at that time.
Oscar Cortes expected to sign permanent Rangers deal According to a new update from Football Insider, Oscar Cortes will be given a “huge” long-term deal at Rangers this summer, on the condition that he impresses Clement and the board during his loan stint at Ibrox.
“Sources have told Football Insider that if Oscar Cortes does well during his loan spell at Rangers, he will receive a four-year contract and a “huge” pay rise. On deadline day, the Colombian international signed a season-long loan from RC Lens to play for the Ibrox giants.
“If the winger meets performance-related goals in the second half of the season, the Gers will have the option to purchase him in the summer. If he makes an impression on Rangers executives and manager Philippe Clement, he should receive a raise in pay each week in addition to a long-term deal that expires in 2028.”
With a brand-new contract, this ought to be viewed as a huge inducement for Cortes between now and the end of the campaign.
Rangers would be able to save a significant amount of money on their wage bill because so many established players could depart in the summer. This money would then be available to make Cortes’ switch permanent. But obviously, the 20-year-old needs to perform for this to happen. If he doesn’t get off to a quick start and struggles to find playing time under Clement, the Gers may decide it would be wiser to look at another target.
He may initially need some time to get used to a new football style and his new nation, but his 11 goals in 25 appearances for Colombia’s Under-20 team—he has also made one senior appearance—can only be encouraging.
