Rangers are edging ever closer to securing the arrival of promising Real Betis defender Nobel Mendy, with reports confirming that the 20-year-old is scheduled to undergo a medical in Barcelona tomorrow ahead of penning a four-year contract at Ibrox.
Deal Details Take Shape
The transfer appears to be all but finalised. Rangers and Betis have reportedly agreed a fee of £2.5 million, including a 20% sell-on clause benefitting Betis in the event of a future profit-making sale. On the continent, sources suggest a slightly higher valuation of €3 million, aligning with the same sell-on terms
Why is the Medical Taking Place in Barcelona?
With Rangers still operating on a European schedule in between key Champions League qualifiers, Barcelona has been chosen as a convenient base for the medical. It allows Mendy to complete the formalities swiftly and join up with his new team-mates without unnecessary delays.
Mendy Could be the Perfect Fit
Manager Russell Martin has been seeking greater depth on the left side of defence, especially with Nasser Djiga suspended. Mendy, a tall, athletic centre-back with strong aerial ability, fits the profile perfectly. His age also means Rangers are not only solving an immediate need but investing in a player with considerable long-term potential.
What Happens Next?
If all goes to plan, Mendy could be officially unveiled before the weekend, giving him a chance to be integrated quickly ahead of the upcoming fixtures — including the crucial Old Firm match later this month.
