Rangers and 25 rivals enter a transfer battle royale for summer's must have as beaming chairman raves about him
Winger Poku is one of a number of summer targets interesting Russell Martin
Barry Fry has warned Rangers they face a battle with 25 clubs across Europe if they want to land Kwame Poku.
But the Peterborough director of football admits Gers could get a £10m diamond for buttons should they win the race for the Ghana international.
Winger Poku is one of a number of summer targets interesting Russell Martin with Leicester City defender Connor Coady in talks over a move to Govan while Swansea's Harry Darling, Westerlo striker Matija Frigan and Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Dor Turgeman have all been linked.
Poku could be the perfect fit to replace Vaclav Cerny, who has been priced out of a permanent move to Ibrox after his loan spell in Govan last season.
The 23-year-old netted 12 goals and added eight assists in 27 League One games for Posh last season and also helped lift the Vertu Football League Trophy at Wembley against Birmingham who were understood to be leading the race for his signature until recently.
Peterborough bosses hope Poku - signed from Colchester for £250,000 in 2021 - chooses to stay in England where the compensation tribunal for under 24 players is of a higher value than the FIFA regulated version for cross border moves.
And Fry, who insists Poku is destined for the Premier League one day, said he has a list of suitors spanning some of the biggest leagues in Europe.
The Peterborough stalwart told Mail Sport: 'Kwame's out of contract and to my knowledge he's speaking to 26 clubs, home and abroad, and he'll go wherever he wants to go.
'I spoke to him on Friday morning but he's not decided where he wants to go at the minute.
'He's such an exciting player. Wherever he goes, he'll be a fan's favourite.
'He spent a couple of years at Colchester and we took a punt on him. We have had a lot of offers for him that we've turned down because we wanted to get promotion.
'Now he has the choice.
'I've had loads of clubs from Portugal, Belgium, Germany on about him as well as loads of clubs in England.
'I was asking clubs for £5 million and £5 million in add-ons when they were interested previously.
'He has that potential, he's that good a player.'
Should Poku choose to leave England for either Govan or Europe in the coming weeks then the compensation fee will be decided by the standard FIFA regulations. Similar to the deal that saw Joe Aribo move from Charlton to Ibrox six years ago for just £300,000.
Fry said: 'Yeah, we'd get some from FIFA. We'd get some, but it wouldn't be ideal for us.
'It would be FIFA working out what we paid for him and what offers we've had for him and all that.
'I've never been in that situation, so I don't know whether it'll be a pound or a million. You know what I mean? I ain't got a clue.
'We would definitely prefer him to stay in England, that's for sure.'

The night Rangers refused to play in Russian war zone as defiant David Murray risked a mega UEFA ban
Rangers refused to go for safety reason as Dagestan Rangers will learn who they face in their first Champions League qualifying hurdle after Wednesday's draw in Berne. But regardless of who comes out of the hat alongside the Ibrox side, it won't be as daunting as their UEFA Cup first round pairing almost a quarter of a century ago. Certainly off the park at least. Russell Martin's side will discover their Euro fate this week before facing three qualifying rounds to reach the Champions League group stage. At 11am UK time, their opponents will be pulled out of the hat - with either Swiss outfit Servette, Greek giants Panathanaikos or Norwegian club Brann Bergen lying in wait. But 24 years ago, when Dick Advocaat's Gers were preparing for a foray into Europe, they got the worst possible draw. Rangers were paired with Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, who were based in war-torn DAGESTAN. And when ex-Ibrox chairman David Murray refused to allow the team to travel - Gers were threatened by a five-year UEFA ban. Dagestan is sandwiched between Chechnya and the Caspian Sea with a reputation as a dangerous place to visit. Back then, 34 different ethnic groups were engaged in constant rivalry and the 1999 war in Chechnya had spilled into Dagestan. When Rangers refused to go for safety reasons, initially they were told by UEFA they HAD to or they'd face strict sanctions. Football's governing body were adamant the game had to go ahead but Murray defied them. He said at the time: 'The club is ready to play Anzhi anywhere other than the Dagestan capital but will not travel to Makhachkala under the current circumstances. 'We have advised UEFA that although our travel plans have been cancelled, we could still be in a position to travel to participate in the match assuming a safe venue can be confirmed. 'UEFA have advised us that no further appeal is available but we have requested them to reconsider their decision.' At that point, Rangers' immediate future in Europe was under genuine threat and the club was prepared to take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. But eventually, the UEFA big-wigs came to their senses and agreed to rearrange the tie. Chief Executive Gerhard Aigner took the decision to make the UEFA Cup clash a one-off, winner-takes-all game to be held in Warsaw, Poland. With Dagestan suffering from terrorism as Russian troops and rebels fought in nearby Chechnya, common sense had prevailed. And Gers' worries about being expelled from the competition had gone. Advocaat took his team to Poland but with only a small band of Rangers fans in the stadium, there was a strange, eerie atmosphere. It was a poor game but the Scottish side just had to get the job done. And with four minutes left of the 90, Dutch defender Bert Konterman was Rangers' unlikely hero. His deflected strike from long-range beat the Anzhi keeper to secure a scrappy 1-0 victory and see Advocaat's men into the next round. Rangers went on to beat Dinamo Moscow and then PSG - Ronaldinho et al - on penalties later in the competition. But their UEFA Cup dream died with defeat to Feyenoord in February 2002 after a 4-3 aggregate loss. Here's the team from that unusual night in Warsaw against Anzhi Makhachkala: Rangers: Klos, Ricksen, Moore, Amoruso, Numan, Konterman, Ferguson, Latapy, McCann, de Boer, Flo. Subs: Caniggia, Dodds, Kanchelskis, Christiansen, Vidmar, Lovenkrands, Hughes.

Football could introduce new transfer rule to let players buy out their contracts in radical move that would slash fees

Scroll down to see how some stars' values will be impacted by the proposed change MON£Y BAWL Football could introduce new transfer rule to let players buy out their contracts in radical move that would slash fees Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MASSIVE transfer fees could soon become a thing of the past — with players' chiefs wanting stars to have freedom to break their contracts for a fixed compensation payment. The international players' union FifPro has accused Fifa of dragging its feet over new transfer rules after the European Court agreed that ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star Lassana Diarra was illegally "handcuffed" by Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow a decade ago. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A major case involving ex-Chelsea star Lassana Diarra could make massive transfer fees a thing of the past Credit: Getty 5 The ruling from the European Court means inflated transfer fees could be a thing of the past Credit: EPA 5 The likes of Alexander Isak would be able to buy out their contract rather than being marooned while clubs argue over a transfer fee Credit: Alamy Major agents claimed the October ruling was the first step towards a US-style 'free agency' for players, with fees becoming a thing of the past and stars only liable to pay the balance of their contracts when they switch clubs. Top clubs and Fifa are battling to resist such a move, while this summer Prem clubs already splashed out £375million before the full market officially opens tomorrow. But now FifPro has told stars and their lawyers to be ready to test Fifa's failure to react and use European law to push for freedom of movement. FifPro legal chief Alexandra Gomez Bruinewoud said: 'Every worker should have the right to end a contractual relationship. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL PLAYING AWAY? Kieran Trippier parties with mystery blondes as star's wife consults lawyers 'Knowing how much you will have to pay as compensation is part of that right. 'Also, the fact you leave your job should not prevent you from being hired in another job, which is what was happening in football.' Even the giants of the game may be forced into a major rethink by the repercussions of a row sparked in Moscow a decade ago. Former Chelsea, Arsenal and Portsmouth midfielder Diarra may not have really impacted the Prem in his four seasons, which brought just 44 top-flight games. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Yet Diarra's win at the European Court of Justice looks increasingly likely to significantly change the way the transfer market works. If FifPro is right, the result will be for all players to have the right to break their contracts. Transfer fees could be SCRAPPED forever after Lassana Diarra wins landmark court case against Fifa It would see players worth £100m on the open market suddenly available for a fraction of that sum. Of course, any new regulations will not be introduced this summer. Fifa rushed through a series of temporary transfer regulations, with dire warnings of the 'collapse' of the transfer market unleashing 'chaos'. But FifPro remains unconvinced the latest moves from Zurich meet the demands of EU law. One insider explained: 'This could be the last few years of the inflated transfer fees we have all seen. 'The European Court has said that football must operate within EU law. 5 'Football is the outlier. There's no other industry — other than maybe thoroughbred horses — where you see employees change hands for millions of pounds and it is time for the game to be brought in step.' Gomez Bruinewoud added: 'The judges in the Diarra case explained why the system was against EU law. 'I'm not afraid to say the same Fifa rules are probably also against most national labour laws.' Top players will benefit from higher wages and longer deals, though with budgets finite, that would mean less cash and shorter deals for players further down the pecking order — and limited job security in the lower tiers. Prem club bosses also fear the consequences, arguing the effective abolition of fees would blow up the entire footballing pyramid as money would no longer 'trickle down'. It is likely that, as with the Jean-Marc Bosman courtroom saga that turned European football on its head 30 years ago, it will need another player to be the test case to break the current system. But it seems that challenge is a matter of time from being made. And with the players' union backing, the most fundamental change the game has ever seen. 5 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW WATCH EVERY MATCH OF THE CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 LIVE ON DAZN
