Badredine Bouanani's Rangers contract examined - Here's what we know

Rangers are still waiting to see what Badredine Bouanani can do.

It was a busy end to the summer window and it ended with the Algerian coming through the doors.

A move for the 21-year-old certainly came as a surprise given the talent that had already come in.

Daisuke Yokota and Minsu Kim were named as new Govan stars before the winger joined on loan.

There are high expectations surrounding the Stuttgart loanee as he awaits a true chance in the side.

Bouanani could soon get his chance from Derek McInnes as we assess what we know about his contract.

What is Badredine Bouanani's Rangers wage?

The 2004-born winger is yet to hit the ground running for the Light Blues.

That shouldn't come as a surprise as he continues to adapt to Scottish football.

A move to G51 represents his fourth club since 2024 having featured for OGC Nice, Lorient, Stuttgart and now Rangers.

His latest spell in the Bundesliga ended with just three goal involvements, but there were high hopes for him in Germany.

That was represented in his salary as that is said to be between £33,000 and £36,000.

The Light Blues are said to be paying his full wage, something that will equate to around £1.8million for the year, at the top end.

That marks a sizable spend for the Light Blues, something which could only take a step up at the end of the season.

Will Rangers sign Bouanani permanently?

There isn't yet any clamour to sign the winger permanently.

That isn't a surprise based on his quiet start to life in McInnes' squad.

There is every chance that he could prove himself and go on to be a useful asset for the rest of the campaign.

Should that be the case and Rangers want him permanently, reports detail that they would have to pay approximately £15.5m.

That would represent a Scottish record and a large outlay for a single player.

The only way that a deal like that becomes possible is if he truly becomes a star in Govan.

It adds pressure to his move and raises the question of whether Bouanani will succeed or not.
