According to the Daily Mail, Joe Aribo, a midfielder for Southampton, will not be returning to Rangers.
In what is likely to be the last major contract of his professional career, the Nigerian international will not be expecting to make less than £70,000 per week, according to a news outlet report from January 23.
Even though Southampton is willing to sell the 28-year-old for the £6 million they paid to get him, a reunion with him is not likely as the Gers are looking to reduce their salary cost and prefer younger players.
Joe Aribo should not be re-signed by the Rangers.
Despite Aribo‘s prior success at Ibrox, it makes sense for the Gers to pass on his services.
Signing him will suggest that there is no plan behind the scenes to construct a side for the future and they’re reverting back to tried and trusted names.
Although it is clear that the club is constantly recruiting, signing Aribo would also disrupt their pay scale.
The 28-year-old has played in the Premier League and would prefer a sideways move, if feasible, so it would be difficult to say whether he would be amenable to returning to Ibrox.
