Rangers to sanction multi-million-pound offer as Robin van Persie wants Emmanuel Fernandez
Rangers could potentially be inundated with offers for Emmanuel Fernandez in the upcoming transfer window.
According to the Daily Record on 23 April, the Gers will demand a significant sum for the centre-back in the summer due to the sell-on clause included in the deal with Peterborough United.
The news outlet reports that with several teams, including Feyenoord, interested in the Nigeria international, the Light Blues could receive a multi-million-pound offer they may not be able to refuse.
It’s been claimed that former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie wants the 24-year-old defender in Rotterdam and is being assisted by Gers icon Dick Advocaat to put plans in place for the summer.
Fernandez has come a long way at Ibrox after struggling at the start of the season and fans in G51 will keep a close eye on what the future holds for him.

The latest breaking news on signings, departures, and Danny Röhl’s primary targets.
Rangers faced with difficult Emmanuel Fernandez decision
Advocaat recently joined Feyenoord on a part-time consultancy role and is now helping Van Persie assess their top targets for a summer rebuild.
The legendary Dutch manager won back-to-back league titles at the Gers between 1998 and 2000, but he’s now tasked with breaking the Ibrox faithful’s hearts.
| Statistics | Emmanuel Fernandez |
| Apperances | 22 |
| Goals | 5 |
| Accurate passes per game | 44.0 (88%) |
| Clean sheets | 9 |
| Interceptions per game | 1.4 |
| Tackles per game | 1.7 |
| Total duels won per game | 6.5 (69%) |
Fernandez has been influential in the Glaswegian outfit’s success in the current campaign and it would be disappointing to see the defender leave after just one season in Govan.
While it definitely makes sense to keep the Nigerian centre-back at the Light Blues for a few more years, Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises wouldn’t want to make the mistakes of the previous management and miss the opportunity to cash in on a player.
Danny Rohl to demand answers from Andrew Cavenagh at Ibrox
Danny Rohl has shown he can bring immense success to Rangers with his philosophy and style of play, but he needs quality players to win major silverware.
As things stand, the Gers clearly lack any sort of quality in depth, especially in defence, with Nasser Djiga set to leave at the end of the season.
The Nigerian defender and the Wolves loanee have formed the backbone of the Light Blues’ recent success, but the German manager may be about to lose them both in the summer.
Cavenagh can’t expect Rohl to sustain success by chopping and changing the team, with some stability needed within the squad to compete for major honours year on year.
