Rangers will reportedly have to stump up at least £5million if they are to land Maccabi Tel Aviv star Dor Turgeman this summer.
Reports in Israel suggest that Ibrox scouts were in attendance to watch Israeli frontman Turgeman bag his first goal for his country and are said to be keen on a deal along with English Championship side Burnley.

The pending takeover from the Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises consortium could mean that Scottish Premiership side will have some cash to spend next summer.
The 21-year-old has 17 goals in 35 matches with the club battling for their second consecutive Israeli Premier League.
Sport 5 report that Maccabi are looking for around £5million for a player who is out of contract at the end of the 2026 campaign - and who they believe is unlikely to pen an extension.
He's not the only man the new owners may have to spend big on - with time ticking down on the Wolfsburg loanee Vaclav Cerny's £5.5million purchase option.
We exclusively broke the story that the owners faces a big call over the winger after his impressive campaign - which has seen him net 17 goals in 44 appearances so far.
Former Celtic hero Andy Walker reckons a deal will depend on if the consortium wish to splash the cash.
He told the Go Radio Football Show: “I think everything depends on where Rangers are going with this potential takeover. There’s talk of a lot of money being invested if it goes through. If it doesn’t go through, I can’t see them coming up with £5.5m for Cerny.”
Cerny is a doubt for next Saturday's game against Hibs after missing the dramatic victory over Dundee through injury following his return from international duty with the Czech Republic.
Rangers' interim boss Barry Ferguson said: "He's come back with a hamstring issue. I made the decision that it wasn't worth the risk because he's obviously a big player for us,"
