Sheffield United's true stance on Ryan One exit emerges amid Rangers interest
The young Scotsman had emerged as a target for the Ibrox side after Youssef Chermiti's injury.
The Portuguese forward has been basically ruled out for the season, so Derek McInnes' side are looking for a replacement.
The 20-year-old has been on the Govan outfit's radar for a number of years, and it appeared that they had finally acted upon their interest.
He is one of the brightest Scottish talents, and could have been a reliable option behind the likes of Lawrence Shankland and Bojan Miovski.
The Blades reportedly rejected a loan to buy offer from Rangers for One, and now they have made their stance abundantly clear.
Why Rangers will not be signing Ryan One
It was always going to be difficult to pluck One from the Championship promotion hopefuls.
Sky Sports journalist Luca Bendoni reported on X on Thursday that Chris Wilder's side count on the striker.
It states that they are not open to allowing an exit, unless an "out-of-market" offer arrives.
Bendoni quoted his previous post about the Light Blues interest under the latest update.
The Bears will have to turn their attention to an alternative target, to solve their woes in the position.
Who could Rangers add instead of One?
Joe Gelhardt from Leeds United was one target for the Auchenhowie side, given the fact that he has been frozen out in Yorkshire.
It makes sense with the links between the Glasgow side and the Whites, but he appears set to move to Hull City.
McInnes' side are also chasing Venezuelan striker Kevin Kelsy from Major League Soccer outfit Portland Timbers.
They have made an initial approach and it is believed that a "significant fee" will be needed to seal a deal with the American side.
Kelsy has nine goals and two assists in 17 matches in the current MLS campaign, so he could be exactly the type of players that the Gers need to replace Chermiti.
The main question mark will be whether he can settle into the Scottish Premiership as quickly as he will expected to, bit given the urgency of the matter, they need to bring him in quickly.
