Scottish Premiership side Rangers have received a £5 million offer from Greek champions AEK Athens for Super Eagles forward Cyriel Dessers.
The bid comes amid growing uncertainty over the Nigerian striker’s future at Ibrox. Despite starting the new season strongly, Rangers are reportedly weighing up whether to cash in on the 29-year-old.
Dessers made an instant impact in his first start of the campaign, scoring and providing an assist in Rangers’ 3-0 victory over Czech side Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Champions League qualifier. His performance reignited debate over his importance to the squad.
Former Rangers coach Billy Dodds has cautioned against selling the striker, warning that his departure could weaken the club’s attacking options ahead of a crucial season.
Dessers joined Rangers in 2023 and has since established himself as a physical, hard-working forward with an eye for goal. While a move to AEK Athens would offer a new challenge, Rangers’ management will have to decide whether the financial offer outweighs the on-field value he brings.
With the transfer window still open, the coming days could prove decisive in determining whether Dessers remains in Glasgow or embarks on a new chapter in Greece.
