EXIT CONFIRMED: Rangers Finally Agree HUGE FEE for Star Player’s EXIT as He is Now Set to Leave Ibrox

Hamza Igamane Set for Rangers Exit as Lille Strike Verbal Agreement – Deal Worth Over €15m in the Works

Hamza Igamane looks poised to become the latest high-profile departure from Ibrox this summer, with the Rangers forward reportedly reaching a verbal agreement with Ligue 1 outfit Lille over a move to northern France.

According to Foot Mercato, negotiations between the French club and the player have progressed significantly in recent days, with the 21-year-old said to be “excited about the idea” of playing in France’s top flight. A deal in excess of €15 million is now expected to be struck between Rangers and Lille, who are eager to conclude the transfer swiftly amid growing competition.

Lille’s interest in Igamane has intensified as they prepare for the departure of Jonathan David, who is expected to leave this summer in search of a fresh challenge. While the club has already agreed a deal for veteran striker Olivier Giroud, there is a clear recognition that a long-term option is also required up front – and Igamane fits the bill.

The French club’s approach for the Moroccan forward has been described as a move into “second gear”, with Lille now accelerating plans to wrap up the transfer. Igamane’s representatives are believed to have held positive talks with Lille officials in recent hours, culminating in a verbal agreement on personal terms. The player’s camp is now waiting on the two clubs to finalise terms.

Foot Mercato report that Lille have “shifted into second gear” to secure the Moroccan forward, particularly amid interest from English clubs, Strasbourg, Marseille, and Lens, all of whom are said to be monitoring the situation closely. However, Lille’s early progress and proactive stance appear to have put them in pole position.

The proposed move could represent a major profit for Rangers, who signed Igamane just a year ago from FAR Rabat. While the initial outlay was modest, the 21-year-old quickly adapted to life in Scotland, impressing with his pace, directness, and goal threat during his breakout campaign in the Scottish Premiership.

With Lille preparing to sit down with Rangers to thrash out the final terms of the deal, it’s expected that negotiations will begin in earnest in the coming hours. A fee north of €15 million has been mooted, which would represent one of Rangers’ biggest player sales in recent history – a boost to the club’s summer budget as Russell Martin continues his Ibrox rebuild.

Though Rangers will be reluctant to lose one of their brightest young assets, the move appears to align with the player’s ambitions and the club’s financial strategy under the stewardship of 49ers Enterprises.

More updates are expected soon as Lille attempt to close the deal before rival clubs make a formal approach. For now, it appears the path is clear for Igamane to make his long-awaited move to Ligue 1.
