Rangers made offers for Viktoria Plzen striker Rafiu Durosinmi during the transfer window, it is being claimed.

The 22-year-old started both legs as the Ibrox men beat the Czech side over two legs in Champions League qualifying, scoring in the second leg as his team won 2-1 on the night.

It is now being reported that Rangers made moves to try and sign him during the window but their offers were deemed too low by Plzen. The same can be said for bids from Borussia Monchengladbach and Gent.

Durosinmi has also been interesting clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Journalist Rudy Galetti said: "Backstory on Rafiu Durosinmi: Rangers and Gladbach made offers in recent weeks, rejected by Viktoria Plzen as too low, same for Gent - as already revealed days ago.

"Now Saudi and Turkish clubs are showing interest, but the club remains firm on its valuation."

It was previously reported the player was keen on the move to Gent when they made their offer.

Durosinmi has a year left on his deal so could become available on a cut-price deal in January or on a free transfer next summer.

The frontman has 28 goals for Plzen since moving from MFK Karvina in 2023.
