Bayern Munich wonderkid, 20, ‘turns down Rangers offer' as he leaves Bundesliga giants as free agent
They've been beaten to his signature LOOKING ELSEWHERE Bayern Munich wonderkid, 20, 'turns down Rangers offer' as he leaves Bundesliga giants as free agent RANGERS made an offer to a Turkish wonderkid Emirhan Demircan but he has rebuffed them and opted to sign for FC Utrecht, according to reports. The 20-year-old joined the Bayern Munich youth academy in 2017 and featured regularly for their reserves last season. Advertisement 1 Emirhan Demircan in action for Turkey Under-21s Credit: Getty Demircan played in 20 games for Bayern Munich II in the Regionalliga Bayern (Bavarian regional league) and scored six goals, adding five assists. He plays mainly as a left-winger but can also operate on the right or as a central striker. According to various reports, including transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Gers were one of four clubs interested in snapping up the starlet from the Bundesliga giants. Turkish outfit Besiktas and fellow German side Hoffenheim were also linked with the player. Advertisement But he has decided to move to the Netherlands with Eredivisie side Utrecht. He has been given a three-year deal and completed a medical ahead of the move. Demircan has three caps for the Turkish Under-21s and has also played for his national team at Under-19 and Under-17 level. With interest mounting in Hamza Igamane and with doubts over Oscar Cortes' fitness, Demircan made sense for Gers, particularly given he would have been available on a Bosman. Advertisement We told you last night that potentially up to SEVEN clubs are now monitoring Moroccan ace Igamane. Meanwhile, Gers striker Danilo is trying to reignite his Ibrox career by ramping up his preseason schedule. £6m Rangers star Danilo spotted doing gruelling sessions on beach in Brazil as he gears up for make or break pre-season He posted a video of a gruelling workout on the beach back home in Brazil. In the clip he can be seen working with a fitness trainer and sporting his very own 'Danilo 99' Rangers shirt. Advertisement The Brazilian showed no signs of any lingering injury issues as he performed sprint work and fast feet exercises on the sandy terrain. Croatian striker Matija Frigan is also understood to be of interest to the Light Blues and new boss Russell Martin. Premier League cult hero Jamie Vardy has also been linked with Gers after his exit from Leicester City was confirmed.

Arne Slot chooses former Arsenal and Barcelona star as new Liverpool assistant
Arne Slot is set to bring in former Arsenal, Barcelona and Rangers defender Giovanni van Bronckhorst as his new assistant at Liverpool. John Heitinga had been in the role as the Reds won the Premier League title last season but he has left to take charge of Ajax. A number of names have been linked with replacing Heitinga, including Liverpool cult hero Dirk Kuyt, but it appears Slot's search is at an end. The Times report that Van Bronckhorst is close to being appointed at Anfield where he will join Slot's backroom staff. It appears something of a coup for Liverpool to get the 50-year-old in as a coach as Van Bronckhorst has already held some high profile jobs as a manager. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter.

After two spells there as a player he started his managerial career with Feyenoord in 2015 and won the Eredivisie in 2017. Van Bronckhorst spent four years in charge of the Dutch side, but his time with clubs since then has been much shorter. A short stint in China with Guangzhou R&F was followed by a year with Rangers and then just 20 games in charge of Besiktas in 2024. The versatile defender and midfielder had a brilliant playing career, winning 106 caps for Netherlands. He won the Premier League with Arsenal, two La Liga titles with Barcelona and two Scottish Premier League titles with Rangers. Feyenoord – May 2015 – May 2019 Games: 176 Won: 107 Drawn: 26 Lost: 43 Trophies: Eredivisie 2016-17, KNVB Cup 2015-16 & 2017-18 Guangzhou R&F – January 2020 – December 2020 Games: 23 Won: 7 Drawn: 6 Lost: 10 Rangers – November 2021 – November 2022 Games: 68 Won: 42 Drawn: 12 Lost: 14 Trophies: Scottish Cup 2021-22 Besiktas – June 2024 – November 2024 Games: 20 Won: 10 Drawn: 4 Lost: 6 Trophies: Turkish Super Cup 2024 He also landed the Champions League with Barca in 2006 and lifted the FA Cup with the Gunners in 2003, while reaching a World Cup final with Netherlands in 2010. Slot managed Feyenoord from 2021-24, taking over the club two years after Van Bronckhorst departed. The two will now unite on Merseyside, with the newcomer working alongside Sipke Hulshoff and Aaron Briggs under Slot's management. Despite enjoying an incredible season last time around as they won a second Premier League title, Liverpool are going through a summer of quite significant change. More Trending As well as in the coaching department there will be notable changes on field as well, with Jeremie Frimpong already arriving to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold. Florian Wirtz is expected to arrive next in a club record deal with Bayer Leverkusen, while the Reds are being linked with a string of strikers as they look to get rid of Darwin Nunez this summer. Milos Kerkez is likely to arrive from Bournemouth, which has put Andy Robertson's future in doubt.
