Serie A club Cagliari are preparing to intensify their efforts to sign Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers before the transfer window closes.
The Nigerian forward has been linked with a return to Italian football after falling behind Hamza Igamane in Rangers’ attacking pecking order this season. Despite reduced opportunities, Dessers continues to impress whenever called upon.
Softfootball understands Cagliari believe Dessers’ experience, finishing ability and knowledge of Serie A could provide an immediate boost as they continue searching for additional firepower during the January transfer window.
His outstanding goal against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League has reportedly strengthened Cagliari’s determination to secure his signature after negotiations for another attacking target collapsed.
Dessers previously played in Serie A with Cremonese before joining Rangers two years ago, and his familiarity with Italian football makes him an attractive option for the Sardinian club.
The 30-year-old has enjoyed another productive campaign in Scotland, contributing 17 goals across all competitions while remaining one of Rangers’ most experienced attacking options.
