<p>Scottish side Rangers are reportedly ready to sign <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/usmnt-tv-schedule/">United States men’s national team</a> striker Haji Wright. The center forward currently plays for Turkish side Antalyaspor. However, both sides are supposedly close on the final valuation for the player.</p>



<p><em><a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/rangers-will-pay-7m-for-haji-wright-after-sources-reveal-expert/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Football Insider</a></em> claims that Antalyaspor values Wright at £7 million (about $8.7 million). Rangers are thought to be willing to pay the fee but will negotiate to lower the price just a bit. In fact, former Rangers defender Alan Hutton told the news outlet that the club may negotiate, but will pay the final fee if necessary.</p>



<p>“Of course, they will try and get it as low as possible for players coming<em> </em>in,” <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/rangers-will-pay-7m-for-haji-wright-after-sources-reveal-expert/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claimed</a> Hutton. “As they have shown in the past with the likes of Ryan Kent, if there is someone available that is a proven goalscorer or a match winner who can change things for them, who can tip the balance in their direction, then they will pay that money.“</p>



<h5>Scottish side needs to replace outgoing striker</h5>



<p>The Gers need a new striker to replace outgoing forward Alfredo Morelos. The Colombian scored 11 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/scottish-premiership-tv-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scottish Premiership</a> goals during the 2022/23 season. He is about to be out of contract with the club.</p>



<p>“Rangers have made mistakes with the likes of Morelos and Kent running down their contracts,” continued Hutton. “I can’t see them allowing that to happen again. It is a lot of money, but if it is someone that can make a difference then I am sure they will be willing to pay a little bit extra.“</p>

<h2>Rangers are not the only team tracking Haji Wright</h2>



<p>Wright only just joined the Turkish team last summer in a deal worth around $2.2 million. The USMNT striker netted 16 goals in 28 total matches for Antalyaspor during the current campaign. Despite his successful Freshman season in Turkey, the club appears ready to make a profit on the player. Along with Rangers, Wright has been linked with Villarreal and Southampton in recent weeks as well. </p>



<p>Although he has played well overseas, Wright was not named in the latest <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/balogun-included-in-usmnt-nations-league-roster-20230601-WST-435673.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT roster</a>. Interim head coach B.J. Callaghan opted not to take Wright to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/concacaf-nations-league-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nations League Finals</a>. The 25-year-old forward has not featured for the Yanks since the World Cup in Qatar.</p>
