Rangers: Summer transfer spend can reach historic figures after cash influx and Ibrox sales
Rangers are looking to raise £16million to further invest in their squad in the upcoming transfer window.
Andrew Cavenagh has revealed in the last 24 hours the next stage of the Gers' summer funding, with major shareholders expected to help with player acquisitions.
The American owners have already spent a lot of money over the last two transfer windows and the Light Blues could be set for a historic summer if they make big-money sales of Nicolas Raskin and Emmanuel Fernandez.
Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises' transfer strategy has seen them pull off some impressive deals at the Glaswegian outfit, while others haven't worked out, but they seem determined to get things right in Govan.
Danny Rohl can match Dick Advocaat spending spree at Rangers
Dick Advocaat's Dutch revolution at the Gers saw them spend a lot of money buying players like Tore Andre Flo, who is still the most expensive signing in their history.
In November 2000, the Light Blues signed the Norwegian striker from Chelsea for £12m, and other major arrivals during that time included Bert Konterman, Ronald de Boer and Fernando Ricksen.
In total, the Glaswegian outfit spent around £40m during that summer window, the most in their history, but Cavenagh and the 49ers may be ready to break the bank in the summer.
The American owners have already shown they aren't shy about making funds available for transfers, with a £10m outlay, including add-ons, on Youssef Chermiti.
Fernandez is attracting interest away from Ibrox, with the likes of Borussia Dortmund keeping an eye on the defender, while Raskin can make his presence felt on the international stage at the 2026 World Cup.
With the Govan side looking to raise £16m and some big-money sales, it wouldn't be far-fetched for Cavenagh to spend a historic figure in G51 for Danny Rohl, especially if he manages to win the William Hill Premiership.
Ibrox hierarchy must focus on priority summer target
Chermiti has done well in moments for Rangers, but most fans will acknowledge that he hasn't lived up to the billing so far.
Bojan Miovski is also struggling for game time and form at Ibrox, with Rohl clearly losing faith in the North Macedonian international in recent weeks.
The Gers made a massive effort to sign Ryan Naderi on deadline day in the winter transfer window, but the German striker has failed to score in his first seven league appearances.
With the recruitment team in G51 failing to find a reliable goalscorer, the Glaswegian outfit should definitely focus on strengthening that department again at the end of the season.
