Yusuf Kabadayi made the decision to spurn Rangers in favor of a move to Bundesliga side FC Augsburg from Bayern Munich this summer, as reported by the Scottish Sun.
According to the newspaper’s online edition on 4 July, the 21-year-old German winger will be joining Augsburg for a fee of £850,000, as confirmed by Bayern on Twitter.
Despite discussions with Rangers, Kabadayi has opted not to make the move to Ibrox during this transfer window.
Kabadayi’s choice to join Augsburg instead of Rangers could be due to the opportunity for more playing time in the Bundesliga. After spending last season on loan at Schalke, the young winger showed promise and potential for growth.
It is possible that Rangers could not guarantee him the regular playing time he desires, as they focus on bringing in players who can immediately contribute to the team.
The reported transfer fee of £850,000 might also have played a role in Kabadayi’s decision, as Rangers may be prioritizing more established players who can make an immediate impact.
As Rangers continue their search for a marquee striker, the need for someone who can lead the attack remains a priority for the team this summer.
