Rangers midfielder Mohamed Diomande is a wanted man this summer, with Everton tracking him for several months.

The Toffees are set to spend big in the summer and the Ivorian is reportedly among the priorities for them.

Diomande has been a key player for Rangers, making 36 league appearances this past season.

Diomande to seal Ibrox exit for a substantial fee only

According to TEAMtalk (2 June), the Ivory Coast international is drawing significant interest from the Premier League.

Along with Everton, five other teams in the top flight are said to be vying for his services.

The Merseyside outfit are said to be among the frontrunners to secure Diomande’s services.

It’s understood that Gers are in no rush to part ways with their first-team regular.

However, an Ibrox exit cannot be ruled out and Rangers will demand a substantial fee if they are to sell Diomande.

Davide Ancelotti and Russell Martin have recently held talks and who the next manager is will play a big role in deciding his future.

Rangers should consider cashing in on Diomande this summer

Losing Diomande would be a major blow for Rangers, as his versatility, work rate, and flair, evidenced by four goals and seven assists this past season, make him a standout in the Scottish Premiership.

His ability to play as a holding or attacking midfielder adds dynamism and his European performances, like against Fenerbahce, have drawn interest from clubs all over.

A potential £20million transfer fee would be a rare profit for Rangers, who’ve historically struggled to cash in on talent.

This windfall would give the new manager, appointed by Andrew Cavenagh, funds to bolster the squad with signings like a creative number 10 or a proven striker, aligning with a modern, high-energy system to challenge Celtic and sustain European ambitions.

Swift reinvestment is key to offsetting Diomande’s departure.
