Expected fee to sign Sima?

[robbo89]

After his contribution yesterday and over this whole season, it would be hard to find a Rangers fan not desperate to sign him.

What kind of fee do we think it will take to prise Sima away from Brighton in the summer?

They signed him for 8 million in 2021 but in 3 full years at the club he hasn't made a single appearance for them. Since he's nowhere their first team, he's three years older and he will only have one year left on his contract, I'm thinking his fee will surely be in the 4-5m range.

Whatever the fee is, the board simply has to stump it up because we'll likely sell him for double that fee again after a couple of years of Champions League goals and further improvement under Clement. Get the deal done Rangers.

 

[Dashboard Jesus]

I think they will want their money back.

 

[NewFrontier]

£4m would be my guess.

 

[Fairbrass]

I think we'll get it done for between £5-6million.

 

[Albus]

He's worth every penny, even if it's their money back, which for me is unlikely. £7m would still be a snip with his current ability and potential.

I'd imagine it would be £3m - £4m though.

 

[TonyAtTheBing]

6-8 Million, if we win the league I think we will happily pay that if the CL money talk isn't using Dembele Dollars conversion.

Had he stayed fit they'd be wanting double that IMO, best winger we have had in years.

 

[IbroxMainStand]

He will only have a year left on his deal in the summer so I don't think Brighton will be too difficult to deal with if Sima is interested in making the move permanent.

£5m plus a sell on clause would be good business for both teams. Its an important one for us to get done if possible as he is far and away the best attacker we have at the club.

 

[Once a BEAR]

A lot

 

[Bigbluebear]

Sima and Cortes on the wings next season would be immense.

 

[SPRINGBOIG LOYAL]

Hopefully an amount we can afford. A wide player who will get us 15+ goals a season is invaluable and for me where we have struggled over the last few years.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Whatever we planned on Diomonde cancel it and put it towards Sima.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Possibly more than we can afford

 

[jigster]

If Sima wants to come here that would help hopefully he's not like Tillman

 

[cooperman]

Someone said on here yesterday we should forget Silva and spend the money on Sima, I agree

… another couple of million has been added!

 

[Clementime]

Yeah, without doubt.

 

[MartinS93]

I'd bite your hand off for Sima.

Get the impression he genuinely gets it and loves it here.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Someone said on here yesterday we should forget Silva and spend the money on Sima, I agree

Absolute no brainer

 

[Wilso54]

I saw a story online saying that his club is looking at 1 of our youth players, pretty sure I said it on here a few weeks ago and a few guys said who it was, so I think there may be some substance to it. So our youth player could be used as a bargaining chip, and the money they have down in England could mean that they are fine with taking a chance. Suppose if it is true it could come down to a case of Brighton looking at Sima and our youth player and deciding which 1 has the better potential future.

 

[Kinghornloyal]

Whatever we planned on Diomonde cancel it and put it towards Sima.

We can't cancel it. It's already signed

 

[Lord Tom]

Someone said on here yesterday we should forget Silva and spend the money on Sima, I agree

That’s as obvious as selling Wright to buy Diomande or, even at this point, Cortes.

 

[Crouchy]

Wasn’t it felt 6-7m?

 

[RFC56]

I think they will want in the £6-8 million range, I would pay it without hesitation.

 

[Lord Tom]

Whatever we planned on Diomonde cancel it and put it towards Sima.

I really like the look of this lad so I hope it doesn't come to that.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Brighton will want to make a profit. If you look at the way they run their club they don’t lose many at a loss.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Someone said on here yesterday we should forget Silva and spend the money on Sima, I agree

There is no chance we can afford Silva permanently anyway? That’s pie in the sky stuff

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Brighton will want to make a profit. If you look at the way they run their club they don’t lose many at a loss.

But they dont usually let their players go into the final year of their contract

 

[dhoni182]

They paid 7 million for him. Brighton have a transfer model that they make profit. Your looking at the very least 15mil.

 

[RFC56]

Not really, not with one year left on his deal they won’t.

 

[CooperBlu11]

Brighton will want £10 million and they'll most likely get it.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

If Sima wants to come here that would help hopefully he's not like Tillman

His wife just had a kid in Glasgow and after a tumultuous few years of going from A to B he seems genuinely settled there. I think Clement alluded to this in an earlier interview as well.

I hope we sign him and think we will.

 

[Gameboy]

I reckon they’ll take less than they paid for him but with a sell on fee like they’ve done with a few players recently.

 

[ssblue]

I reckon they’ll take less than they paid for him but with a sell on fee like they’ve done with a few players recently.

Agreed.

Around 5-6 million with a 20% sell on.

 

[Avengers]

I hope we can afford him. What a player he has been for us. It seems like he really wants to stay.

 

[Craigie]

I think they will want their money back.

Factor in loan fees already received and £5/6m or so would get them their fee back

 

[Davieblue1977]

If Sima wants to come here that would help hopefully he's not like Tillman

Agreed

 

[GeeGee]

He was head and shoulders best player on the pitch for me when he came on yesterday.

Terrific all-rounder. Great on and off the ball, great in the air, great on deck.

For me he’s worth pushing the boat out on and i really hope we can.

Give them Scott wright

 

[Barrymoped]

As said before mate it can’t.

We have an obligation to buy Diomande in the summer rather than an option, we simply couldn’t afford to buy him in January and this was our way around it.

I reckon Brighton will be looking to get their cash back on Sima, so in the region of £7m.

A lot depends on whether we win the league, guaranteed £40m champions league income is absolutely massive

 

[barcelonabear]

It’s a no brainer for me, he’s proved he can more than handle the rough and tough up here, score goals and also put in a shift in Europe when required

 

[SuperGers07]

Winning the league is probably the difference whether we get him or not

 

[ForeverBlue1972]

He’s worth at least same as we payed for kent

 

[55degreesnorth]

I think they will want their money back.

If doubt that. ~£4 million.

 

[aghalee_hero]

Someone said on here yesterday we should forget Silva and spend the money on Sima, I agree

Silva cost 35m wasn't it? He isn't even in a debate for being a potential purchase.

 

[SDF]

If he was our player, would you accept £4m for him this summer ?

Neither will Brighton. He'll be double figures minimum.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

If it’s affordable we have to sign him

 

[DarrenDRM]

Whatever we planned on Diomonde cancel it and put it towards Sima.

That's impossible

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Someone said on here yesterday we should forget Silva and spend the money on Sima, I agree

Anybody with a brain would think that if it was a choice

 

[andymclol]

Give them Scott wright

We'll pay you £10 mill for Sima if you take Scott Wright too

 

[paphosranger]

£5m plus sell on percentage to bha.
