BREAKING: Russell Martin Discloses Cyriel Dessers’ Potential Departure to Italian Club
In a surprising development, Southampton manager Russell Martin has confirmed that Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers could be on the verge of leaving Rangers this summer. The 29-year-old forward, who joined Rangers from Cremonese in 2023, is reportedly attracting serious interest from clubs in Italy, with one Serie A side emerging as the frontrunner for his signature.
Speaking to reporters ahead of pre-season preparations, Martin hinted that discussions regarding Dessers’ future are already underway. While he didn’t disclose the specific club involved, sources close to the situation suggest that newly promoted Serie A outfit Como 1907 could be the destination. The Italian club is keen to bolster its attack and sees Dessers as a proven option with experience in both Serie A and European competitions.
“Cyriel is a player with real quality, and it’s no surprise that clubs are looking at him,” Martin said. “We’re aware of interest and conversations are ongoing, but nothing is finalized yet.”
Dessers had a mixed spell at Rangers, scoring 16 goals across all competitions but facing criticism for inconsistency. With Philippe Clement now reshaping the squad, a move away could suit both player and club.
If completed, the transfer would mark a return to Italy for Dessers, who previously netted 6 goals in Serie A with Cremonese despite the club’s relegation. Rangers are expected to demand a fee in the region of £4 million.
