Derek McInnes says he ‘knows nothing’ about £15M Rangers price for Badredine Bouanani

Rangers manager Derek McInnes admitted he knows nothing about a reported £15 million permanent fee for winger Badredine Bouanani. The Algerian international joined Rangers on a late loan deal from VfB Stuttgart near the end of the transfer window. McInnes stated he was unaware of the financial specifics required to make the transfer permanent, describing the move as a last-minute loan that recruitment pushed through.

Ibrox Noise suggests that social media rumors claiming a £15 million permanent purchase option are likely inaccurate. While an option to buy reportedly exists in the loan agreement, the writer estimates any future deal would realistically cost between £10 million and £12 million. Despite the sudden arrival, McInnes praised Bouanani for showing his quality after taking time to adjust.
