Rangers transfer news has taken a curious turn after Bruges sources told Transfer Feed that Club Brugge have considered Tuur Rommens but won’t pursue the Rangers left-back. Rommens caught Brugge’s attention during their search for defensive options, yet the Belgian club have decided against progressing the matter. Het Laatste Nieuws backs that position, according to the report.
Interest and intent can look similar, but they rarely carry the same significance. A player can enter recruitment discussions or prompt checks on availability without a club preparing an offer. In Rommens’ case, the latest information points away from Bruges despite the noise around his situation.
Rommens’ story has changed quickly since his January move. Rangers signed the 23-year-old from Westerlo for about £3m on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Rangers transfer news: Rangers have little reason to sell
Rommens became Rangers’ first-choice left-back after arriving in Glasgow and produced 26 appearances, one goal and four assists across both clubs during 2025/26, on the supplied figures. His groin injury creates a problem because Rangers lose a starter while buyers face uncertainty over his fitness.
His contract runs until June 2029, so Rangers face no urgent expiry pressure. Rangers spent around £3m on him only months ago, which makes a quick sale hard to justify unless a major offer arrives.
Rangers transfer news: injury changes the timing
Club Brugge may need to replace Bjorn Meijer, but that need doesn’t automatically create a deal. Rommens offers Belgian experience, while Champions League football poses an appeal, yet Rangers face a concern: left-back depth.
Danny Röhl rated Rommens highly at Ibrox, but Derek McInnes now runs Rangers after Röhl left for Red Bull Salzburg in June. That change strengthens the case for keeping the defender until the new manager can assess him properly. Selling late could leave Rangers searching for another starter while Rommens recovers.
Feyenoord, Lecce and Hoffenheim add noise to the picture, but none changes the position. Keeping Rommens makes greater sense. Rangers can support his recovery, restore his fitness and reassess his value. His 2029 contract gives the club leverage, while his injury makes this a poor moment for buyers to dictate terms. For now, Rangers transfer news around him looks louder than the Brugge case.
