Rangers supporters were confronted with an increasingly uncomfortable reality in the transfer market this week. The news of Levski Sofia’s center-back, Jose Cordoba, being on the verge of joining the club was abruptly followed by the unexpected announcement that the deal had fallen through. This sudden turn of events transformed Rangers’ promising start to the transfer window into a highly publicized and disappointing pursuit that left fans disheartened.
While it is not the first time Rangers have missed out on signing a player, nor will it be the last, the timing of Cordoba’s failed transfer adds an extra layer of unease at Ibrox. The situation stings even more due to reports suggesting that English Championship side Norwich City has outmaneuvered us in the race to secure the Panamanian defender.
Could Cordoba be heading to Norwich?
Although the specific reasons behind the collapse of the transfer deal will likely remain undisclosed, Rangers’ decision to withdraw from the pursuit coincided with rumors linking Cordoba to the Canaries. It is worth noting that Cordoba had visited Ibrox, attended a match against Kilmarnock, and was evidently one of our primary targets early in the transfer window.
