Touré recently left 1. FC Kaiserslautern after his contract expired, making him an attractive option for clubs seeking experienced defensive reinforcements.
Touré’s career includes notable stints at AS Monaco and Eintracht Frankfurt, where he was part of the squad that won the UEFA Europa League in 2022, defeating Rangers in the final. Known for his versatility, he can operate both as a right-back and a central defender, attributes that could be valuable for Rangers as they look to bolster their defense following the departures of players like Leon Balogun.
While Rangers are keen on securing Touré’s services, they face competition from other clubs, including Serie A’s Genoa, Turkey’s Trabzonspor, and MLS side Philadelphia Union. The club’s new American ownership, 49ers Enterprises, has reportedly injected £20 million to support a significant summer rebuild, which could facilitate such acquisitions.
As of now, no official announcement has been made regarding Touré’s signing. However, his addition would align with Rangers’ strategy to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
