South Korea's football prospect Kim Min-su (20, Girona) is on the verge of transferring to Scotland's prestigious club Rangers. The Rangers manager has also effectively confirmed this by stating that the acquisition of a wide attacker will be finalized within days.

According to the UK outlet "TeamTalk" on the 22nd (Korea time), Rangers have already reached an agreement with Kim Min-su on personal terms. While Kim's contract includes a buyout clause of 10 million euros (approximately 16.2 billion won), Rangers proposed paying Andorra in installments totaling 8 million euros (approximately 12.9 billion won) instead of activating the clause. Detailed negotiations between the clubs are currently underway, and both sides are very close to reaching a final agreement.

Recently, Rangers manager Derek McInnes stated, "We are working hard to sign a player who will add speed and creativity to our attack, and we expect to finalize this deal within days." The final transfer fee could reach up to 10 million euros, making it the second-highest amount in the club's history. This demonstrates that the club views Kim Min-su as an immediate asset for their squad.

A product of Girona's youth academy, Kim Min-su made his La Liga debut in the 2024-2025 season and later gained starting experience at Andorra, a Spanish second-division club, during the 2025-2026 season. Although he attracted interest from Ajax and Lyon this summer, he ultimately chose Rangers as his destination.

Once the transfer is completed, Kim Min-su will become the first Korean player in Rangers' 154-year history and will face off against Hyun-jun Yang of Celtic FC, their fiercest rival, in the "Old Firm Derby."

In particular, this transfer is expected to have a positive impact on Kim Min-su's future career development. The Scottish Premiership is regarded as a key stepping stone for advancing to England's Premier League (EPL). In the past, several Asian players have successfully made the leap to top-tier leagues after proving themselves in Scotland.

Furthermore, Rangers' environment, which participates annually in UEFA club competitions, will serve as an ideal testing ground for Kim Min-su to accumulate European competition experience and demonstrate his competitiveness.
