Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news and rumours, including Rangers wanting to sign a Bayern Munich youngster and Andreas Pereira being open to signing for Newcastle United.
Rangers are allegedly closing in on the signing of Bayern Munich youngster Yusuf Kabadayi.
Having missed out on the Scottish Premiership title last season, Philippe Clement has been proactive with regards to adding to his squad.
Jefte, Clinton Nsiala and Connor Barron have all joined on permanent deals, while a deal has been pushed through for former loanee Oscar Cortes.
According to Football Insider, the Glasgow giants are now eager to get a deal for Kabadayi over the line.
While the 20-year-old is yet to make a single appearance for Bayern’s first team, the playmaker made 24 outings for Schalke 04 in Bundesliga II during 2023-24.
Interest remains in the Germany Under-20 international from Turkey, forcing Rangers to attempt to finalise a transfer as soon as possible.

Pereira open to Newcastle transfer
Meanwhile, Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira is allegedly interested in securing a transfer to Newcastle United during the summer window.
Since leaving Manchester United in 2022, Pereira has established himself as an important player for the Cottagers, only missing six Premier League fixtures across two seasons.
A total of seven goals and 13 assists have been recorded from 70 appearances, enhancing his reputation in the process and earning admirers elsewhere.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle are open to signing Pereira over the coming months, with the player feeling the same about a move to St James’ Park.
The Brazil international is allegedly eager to challenge for honours, feeling that there is more chance of that happening at Newcastle.
As it stands, two years remain on his contract at Fulham, who will have eyes on doubling the £10m deal that they agreed with Man United two years ago.

Tufan to leave Hull
In the Championship, Hull City are reportedly on the brink of selling one of their Turkish stars.
Since leaving Fenerbahce for the MKM Stadium, Ozan Tufan has contributed 18 goals and two assists from his 84 matches in all competitions.
However, according to journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the opportunity has arisen for the playmaker to return to his homeland with Trabzonspor.
A fee in the region of €2m (£1.69m) will allegedly be paid by the Super Lig side, who finished in third position in the standings during 2023-24.
Hull are seemingly agreeing to cash in on the 29-year-old due to just a year remaining on his contract.
