Injury Update:Rangers transfer is uncertain following an injury update on Philippe Clement…
Rangers’ loan-to-buy deal for Oscar Cortes hangs in balance as RC Lens are called in after a potentially season-ending injury.
The young Colombian winger, 20, has had a bright start to his Ibrox career with the Gers said to boast an a purchase option on the January loan deal.But after the winger sustained a muscle injury in the 2-1 victory to Kilmarnock, it now appears up in the air whether or not the kid will complete the Rangers switch in the summer.
RC Lens paid a reported £3.8m to sign Oscar Cortes from Colombian side FC Millionarios in the summer but he struggled to settle in France.Speaking after Rangers’ shock 2-1 home defeat to Motherwell at the weekend, Philippe Clement refused to put a timescale on what he previously described as a ”severe” injury problem.Whilst the Rangers manager didn’t make any comment on the player’s transfer situation, the Rangers boss did confirm that RC Lens are involved in any decision making with regards what happens next.
“To give you numbers, we’re first talking with a specialist and together with Lens,” said Clement.“We are not the one deciding all the things, what should happen with him, because he’s a player of Lens.
