Potential Million Manhoef blow as Fulham transfer report complicates Rangers pursuit

Rangers might’ve just been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Million Manhoef as Leicester City alternative Fabio Carvalho readies a switch to Fulham.

Both Rangers and Enzo Maresca’s promotion chasing Foxes have been linked with a move for the 21-year-old Vitesse winger, with the Gers said to be leading the hunt.

 

But a report by a leading data journalist which directly named Leicester as being interested in Million Manhoef raised nerves at Ibrox due to there being no mention of Rangers.

Now, the situation could’ve just taken a fresh twist as a potential Leicester alternative to the Dutch U21 international prepares to sign for Premier League Fulham.

Leicester City to lose out on Fabio Carvalho

According to German outlet BILD, Fabio Carvalho is now likely to head out on loan to Fulham after a disappointing spell with RB Leipzig.

The 21-year-old Portuguese winger spent the first half of the season on loan at the Bundesliga club but has just been recalled by the Anfield side.

Leicester City were named as one of the top Fabio Carvalho suitors by Sky Sports, who claimed that the Championship leaders wanted to sign the attacker on loan until the end of the season.

 

This had given Rangers fans some hope in lieu of those Leicester links to Million Manhoef but that may well change now a return to Fulham appears more likely for Fabio Carvalho.

The young Portuguese winger came through at Craven Cottage before making the switch to Liverpool in 2022.

Rangers Million Manhoef transfer hunt continues

Ibrox fans will now be awaiting a more concrete update on the situation with Manhoef, who certainly appears to be in demand this winter.

Currently turning out for the Eredivisie’s bottom side Vitesse Arnhem, it hasn’t stopped the winger impressing in the Dutch top flight this season.
