Rangers, Philadelphia Union and Olwethu Makhanya
Wednesday
Rangers are closing in on a deal to sign Philadelphia Union defender Olwethu Makhanya for more than $4.5m. The MLS club will also retain a significant sell-on percentage as the 22-year-old pursues a move to Europe.
Makhanya did not return to the United States after joining South Africa’s World Cup squad and has already played his final Union match. Rangers gain an athletic centre-back who helped Philadelphia win the 2025 Supporters’ Shield.
