Hopeful Steven Gerrard believes Rangers have a trio of potential options that could entice Aberdeen into allowing Scott Wright to depart Pittodrie now.
The winger has enjoyed a breakthrough season and the Ibrox side are leading the race to land him on a pre-contract with his current deal in the Granite City entering its final six months.
Rangers midfielder Ross McCrorie is also due to make his Pittodrie loan a permanent switch this summer for a £350,000 fee and Gerrard hinted there could be a money-back arrangement agreed if Derek McInnes allows Wright to leave this month.
But the Ibrox boss remains confident his side hold some aces in their quest to secure long-term target Wright before the window shuts.
He said: "The money men will talk and I'm sure in the conversations they will have everything on the table in terms of possibilities to try to get this done in the coming weeks.
"There are different options. There's a possibility of one of our players going the other way. There is a possibility of cash up front and I don't know where the Ross McCrorie deal lies in terms of what needs to be done and what doesn't.
"But I'm sure that's another possibility as well."
But despite his desire to land the 23-year-old this month Gerrard insists he remain relaxed over whether or not the former Scotland U21 star seals his deal now or in the summer.
He added: "The main thing is to do things right and properly - and that's the reason why I had the conversation with Derek.
"There was already talks above myself and Derek prior to that conversation so it's a case of us respecting the situation where it's at.
"If a deal can be done in the short term, great. If not, we may have to wait for the summer. But we are extremely close in terms of having it done for the summer."
