Rangers have 'concrete' interest in winger and move ahead of loan club in queue

Rangers have a "concrete" interest in winger Samuel Ballet, it is being reported in Switzerland.

The 24-year-old spent last season on loan at FC Zurich from Como and the Swiss side would like him back for the next campaign.

But, according to Blick Sport, their chances are dwindling due to "concrete" interest from several clubs, including Gers.

Rangers, Norwich City, and Turkish outfit Trabzonspor are those clubs and all are said to be "further ahead" in the queue than Zurich.

If a deal does materialise, it could be either a permanent transfer immediately or a loan with an option to buy.



Ballet is currently due to join back up with the Como squad for pre-season training on July 10 and while a stay there is not impossible, it's more likely he will have a new club.

The former Switzerland under-20s star started out with Young Boys in his homeland before heading for Winterthur after a loan was made permanent.

From there he moved to Como in 2023 but only made three competitive appearances for the Italians before the loan back to Switzerland with Zurich.

He has a contract with the Serie A side until 2027.
