Cornelius, 26, has been on Rangers’ radar throughout the summer, and negotiations with Marseille have now produced a breakthrough. The deal is expected to see the centre-back make the switch to Ibrox in the coming days, pending the finalisation of personal terms and a medical.
The Canadian has earned praise for his composure, aerial presence, and leadership qualities, making him a valuable addition to the Rangers backline. He also brings international pedigree, having featured regularly for Canada in their recent CONCACAF and World Cup qualifying campaigns.
For Marseille, the agreement represents part of a wider reshaping of their squad, with Cornelius deemed surplus to requirements despite impressing during loan spells in recent seasons.
The signing of Cornelius would mark another significant step in Rangers’ summer rebuild as they aim to challenge both domestically and in Europe. Supporters will be hopeful that his arrival brings further solidity and depth to the defence ahead of crucial fixtures this autumn.
