The potential transfer of Cyriel Dessers from Rangers to AEK Athens is heating up! Despite reports linking the Nigerian striker with a move to Greece, AEK Athens boss Marko Nikolic has downplayed the urgency of the situation. This comes amidst speculation about a disagreement over the transfer fee, with Rangers reportedly seeking £5 million while AEK Athens are only willing to offer £4 million.
Nikolic Cools Transfer Talk
Nikolic, speaking to Greek media, suggested that his team is well-stocked in the forward positions. "No, because in attack we are good with Zini, Pierrot, Martial and even Eliasson," he stated, seemingly indicating that Dessers is not a priority at this moment. He also mentioned that the club is focusing on strengthening other areas of the squad.
What's Next for Dessers?
Despite Nikolic's comments, the transfer saga is far from over. Reports suggest that Dessers has already agreed personal terms with AEK Athens. The sticking point remains the transfer fee. Will the two clubs be able to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes?
- Rangers are reportedly holding firm on their £5 million valuation.
- AEK Athens are hoping to secure Dessers for a lower fee.
- Dessers himself has stated he is happy at Rangers but open to a move.
Dessers himself has previously commented on his future, stating, "I still have two years left on my contract with Rangers. It’s a fantastic club, and I’m happy there." However, he also acknowledged that scoring goals attracts interest from other clubs. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining Dessers's future.
