Rangers ‘take next step in Conor Coady pursuit' as Russell Martin makes 10-cap England star a top priority
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS have reportedly made their first move to sign Conor Coady from Leicester City this summer. The 10-cap England star is believed to be one of Russell Martin's top transfer targets as he aims to complete some quick-fire deals after taking over as Rangers boss. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Conor Coady playing for Leicester City Credit: Getty 2 Russell Martin wants to add more experience to his squad Credit: PA Coady, 32, has spent several years playing in the English top flight and racked up 22 appearances in the Premier League this season as Leicester were relegated back to the Championship. Sporting director Kevin Thelwell hinted at Martin's first press conference that the club will be looking for experienced players to join their squad - and Coady ticks those boxes. And the Daily Record now claim the Light Blues have opened talks with the Foxes over his availability. Coady is a versatile player who can operate in midfield or as a ball-playing centre-back. Martin's philosophy is all about playing out from the back so he could slot into the manager's system very well. Coady still has a year left on his contract at the King Power Stadium but will have to take a cut after their relegation to the second tier. The Foxes will want to cut their wage bill but Coady's future at the club is currently unclear. It's particularly complicated by the fact there are still question marks over Ruud van Nistelrooy's future as well. Meanwhile, Rangers are also chasing Israel forward Dor Turgeman. Turgeman is currently away with Israel on international duty but Thelwell are keen to do quick business for the attacker. The Rangers manager is also a long-term fan of his former Swansea defender Harry Darling. The centre half is set to become a free agent and but the Light Blues will face a fight to land him.

Conor Coady to Rangers transfer talks opened with Leicester as one decision set to clear route to Ibrox
Gers are stepping up their attempts to sign the former Liverpool and Everton centre back Rangers have opened talks with Leicester City over a move for Conor Coady. Record Sport broke the story on Friday and now the Light Blues have asked about his availability. Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell is a big fan of the England international and previously signed him for Everton. The Ibrox side has now asked to see if a deal can be struck. The 32-year-old still has a year left on his contract at Leicester but will have to take a cut after their relegation to the Championship. The situation is further complicated as there remains a major question mark over the long-term future of Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Foxes will want to cut their wage bill and it depends if Coady is one that they would want to move on or keep to spearhead their push to get back to the Premier League. Rangers wouldn't be able to get near his current wages but could offer a long-term deal and the chance to compete for trophies and European football. Rangers have also made Israeli international Dor Turgeman a top target. Record Sport revealed that Thelwell had also targeted the £4million-rated Maccabi Tel Aviv striker. Turgeman is currently away with Israel on international duty but Thelwell is pushing ahead on that front also. Rangers are ready to free up funds by letting Dutch defender Robin Propper return to Twente Enschede. New Rangers boss Russell Martin is also a long-term fan of his former Swansea defender Harry Darling. The centre half is set to become a free agent and has a string of options but the Ibrox side aren't currently in the fight.

Rangers' attempts to strengthen their squad now that Russell Martin has been appointed as head coach are gathering pace, with defender Conor Coady and striker Dor Turgeman heavily linked with moves to Ibrox. Martin was named as Rangers head coach on Thursday morning, six days on from the takeover by an American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises. His arrival comes hot on the heels of Kevin Thelwell taking up office as sporting director on Monday. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Rangers need to bring in players ahead of their Champions League qualification starting in mid-July, with centre-half an obvious area of concern given Leon Balogun's departure at the end of the season and the impending departure of Robin Propper, who is poised to move back to FC Twente in his homeland of the Netherlands. England internationalist Conor Coady is currently at Leicester City. | Wolves via Getty Images England internationalist Coady is currently at Leicester City, who were relegated from the English Premier League in the season just past. The 32-year-old was a regular fixture in Ruud van Nistelrooy's team, but his future at the King Power Stadium is now uncertain following demotion. Capped ten times by England, the 32-year-old started his career at Liverpool before moving to Sheffield United, Huddersfield and then Wolves, where he spent seven seasons. He had a loan spell at Everton in the 2022/23 campaign, where his paths crossed with Thelwell during his time as sporting director at Goodison Park. Coady has one more year on his contract at Leicester, with a potential loan move mooted between the Foxes and Rangers. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad At the other end of the pitch, Rangers have also been linked with Israeli striker Turgeman, who is currently at Maccabi Tel Aviv in his homeland. The 21-year-old, who has scored one goal in seven international appearances, netted 16 goals in 32 appearances as Maccabi landed the Israeli title and is expected to move abroad this summer. Rangers could field bids Turgeman's asking price is reported to be in the region of £4 million and there is anticipated interest from other outfits on the continent. Rangers currently have Cyriel Dessers, Hamza Igamane and Danilo on the books as striking options, although there has been interest in Igamane since his form ignited last winter. Rangers hope to have in the region of £20m to use in the transfer window after fresh investment from the new owners. They may also have to field bids for a couple of their star men, with clubs keeping tabs on midfield duo Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande.
