Neil Lennon, the new coach of Rapid, could help with the most important transfer in the club’s history in terms of the sum that is expected to be received.
Installed on Rapid’s bench, Neil Lennon is expected to transform the team and lead it into the title race, but he may lose one of the most important players. Albion Rrahmani (23 years old) is attracting interest with his performances and statistics, and the latest team to enter the race is Rangers.
The Scottish press writes that Neil Lennon is set to be asked about Albion Rrahmani by the Rangers' bosses, who are gathering information about the forward before making a final decision, also considering the price requested by Rapid, 8 million euros.
"Rangers could soon be asking Neil Lennon for a transfer favor. (…) The Northern Irish manager could play a crucial role in the transfer of one of the players Rangers are interested in, Albion Rrahmani. If Rangers take the transfer seriously, it is expected that Neil Lennon will be involved in discussions," writes the website rangersnews.uk.
Albion Rrahmani is on the transfer list of several clubs: Benfica, Aston Villa, Werder Bremen, Slavia and Sparta Prague, and now Rangers.
He has scored 17 goals and provided five assists in 26 matches played with Rapid in all competitions this season.
