Rangers attacker Rabbi Matondo is currently spending the rest of the season out on loan at German club Hannover.
The 24-year-old has made seven league appearances in 2.Bundesliga this season and prior to that, played six times in the league for Gers.While he’s got seven league appearances under his belt this term, just two of them have been starts.
Thus far, they’ve shown no indications of being willing to sign him on a permanent basis in the coming months.Rangers must not offer Matondo further chances at Ibrox, as his performances have consistently fallen short of expectations.
Since joining in 2022, the 24-year-old winger has managed only eight goals in 67 appearances, mostly as a substitute, highlighting his inability to secure a regular starting role
.
His loan spell at Hannover in the 2.Bundesliga has been equally underwhelming so it’s not like he’s managed to show his potential.
Matondo’s lack of impact, combined with his hefty wage, makes him a financial liability for a club needing to streamline its squad.
To facilitate his departure, Gers should actively market him in the summer transfer window, targeting clubs in lower-tier European leagues or the EFL Championship, where his pace might still attract interest.
Offering a modest transfer fee or even a loan-to-buy deal could entice potential suitors, allowing the Ibrox outfit to reinvest the funds into a more reliable attacking option to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.Only then will the Light Blues be making any considerations ahead of the summer transfer window, which promises to be a huge one.
If the Gers are to avoid a repeat of their shortcomings from the current season, they need to get their priorities straight in the summer and make the right decisions on the recruitment front, and with the latest Igamane news, there is a question to be had as to whether they are going to do that.
