Nedim Bajrami transfer twist emerges as Rangers hold weaker hand
Nedim Bajrami has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular since joining Rangers from Sassuolo in the summer.
The 26-year-old has made 25 league appearances for the Ibrox outfit this season, but just 13 of them have been starts.
However, the Albania international only found the back of the net twice and provided one assist.
Rangers hold weaker hand in Bajrami exit talks
Bajrami’s debut season at Ibrox has fallen flat, yielding only five goals and five assists in all competitions.
This underwhelming output fails to justify the £3million-plus investment and his on-pitch performances have been equally uninspiring.
| Nedim Bajrami’s 2024/25 Scottish Premiership statistics | Total |
| Appearances | 28 |
| Goals | 2 |
| Assists | 1 |
| Touches | 34.6 |
| Accurate passes | 20.2 (82%) |
| Big chances created | 4 |
Just under a year after joining Rangers, the Albanian is already linked with a move, with Serie A and Bundesliga clubs interested, according to Chris Jack.
The Rangers Review journalist claims that Gers hold the weaker hand in any negotiations surrounding his sale.
As the Ibrox outfit brace for a transformative period both on and off the field, Bajrami stands as another recruitment misstep, highlighting the urgent need for improved decision-making.
Bajrami unlikely to have a future at Ibrox
Bajrami’s future at Ibrox looks bleak due to his lacklustre performance since joining from Sassuolo in the summer of 2024.
As an attacking midfielder expected to deliver goals and assists, Bajrami managed only five of each in his debut season, a poor return for the investment.
This, combined with a lack of impact on the pitch, as noted by the eye test, has led to interest from Serie A and Bundesliga clubs ahead of the summer window, signalling his likely departure.
Rangers, under new ownership and facing a period of transition, must cut their losses on Bajrami to avoid further financial strain, especially given their history of recruitment errors.
Selling him would free up funds and squad space for more strategic signings, crucial for a club aiming to compete effectively.
Improved recruitment is essential to ensure future investments yield better on-pitch results and financial stability, aligning with Gers’ broader rebuilding efforts.
