Breaking News:Almería state Kaiky intentions as Rangers manager Clement drops centre-back transfer hint
Kaiky Fernandes is the latest name interesting Rangers as the transfer window begins to bottleneck.
Only any successful bid for the Almería defender could depend on who moves out of Ibrox this week.
The Gers are about to enter what Philippe Clement hopes will be a ‘busy’ end to the transfer window with a number of positions yet to be filled in the Ibrox squad.
As Ben Davies is strongly linked with a move to Birmingham City, Kaiky Fernandes has reportedly been the subject of a loan-to-buy offer from Rangers.
The Brazilian defender, 20, is often simply referred to as Kaiky and currently turns out in the Spanish Liga Segunda.
But current club Almería have sent a defiant response amid those Ibrox links and stated their intentions with the player who has been handed a starting berth in their latest game.
Ibrox manager Philippe Clement has also been responding to questions on interest in the centre-back.

Almería state Kaiky Fernandes intentions
Almería certainly don’t appear in any mood to give up one of their star assets in Brazilian centre-back Kaiky.
And amid all that transfer reporting surrounding Rangers, the Spanish second division club included the defender in this weekend’s 1-0 victory over Tenerife.
Kaiky started the clash in Santa Cruz and played just over an hour before being replaced by Dion Lopy, minutes after receiving a yellow card.
Kaiky came through the youth ranks at Santos before making the switch to Almería back in 2022, one year after breaking into the Brazilian side’s first team.
Paying a reported €7m (£6m) for the defender (Globo), Kaiky signed a six year deal at the Spanish club and made his debut for the club in a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid.
Having found himself in and out of the Almería team over the last two years, the centre-back spent last season on loan at Liga Segunda side Alcabete as he finds his feet in Spain.
This campaign it appears clear Almería will look to use Kaiky as a key member of their squad and Rangers might face a tough challenge to sign the defender.
Spanish publication Marca claim that Almería are confident Kaiky has a ‘great future’ and want him to continue to develop in their first-team this season.
