Hamza Igamane is believed to be keen on a move to Lille as the French side look to do a deal - but there are other clubs waiting in the wings.
The Ligue 1 have made contact with Gers over their interest in the Moroccan forward but, contrary to other reports, have not made an official approach.
However, it is understood the 22-year-old's representatives have had contact with Lille chiefs and held talks over personal terms.
French outlet Foot Mercato is now reporting Igamane is "very excited" about the prospect of the move, which could fetch Rangers over £10 million.

However, the report states fellow Ligue 1 sides Strasbourg and Rennes are both still in the hunt but Lille are in the driving seat.
They could team him up with World Cup winner Olivier Giroud as they look to both strikers to replace Canada star Jonathan David.
Rangers signed Igamane for £1.7m from AS Far Rabat in his homeland and could be about to earn a significant mark-up after just a year.
