Rangers interested in signing Nigeria international Alebiosu from Blackburn this summer

Rangers are interested in signing Super Eagles defender Ryan Alebiosu from Blackburn Rovers this summer, according to DAILY POST. The 24-year-old Nigeria international joined Blackburn from Belgian side Kortrijk at the start of last season and was a standout performer in the 2025/26 Sky Bet Championship, contributing one goal and five assists in 41 league appearances.

Blackburn Rovers reportedly turned down a Serie A approach from Genoa for Alebiosu in January but are now open to offers between £3 million and £5 million for the right-back, per Sportsboom. Rangers specifically want him as a replacement for their former captain James Tavernier, who departed earlier this year.

For Nigerian fans, this potential move to the Scottish Premiership could shape Alebiosu's development ahead of upcoming Super Eagles qualifiers. Will a transfer to Rangers boost his international prospects, or might staying in England's Championship better serve his national team career?
