'Good money' - Barry Ferguson certain Rangers will make profit on summer signing

Rangers are expected to make good money on Emmanuel Fernandez in the upcoming transfer windows.

Barry Ferguson believes the Gers pulled off a bargain by signing the centre-back from Peterborough United for £3million last summer.

The former interim manager revealed that the Light Blues are trying to build a sustainable player-trading model, and the 24-year-old defender fits the bill.

Fernandez’s future at Ibrox will be worth watching closely, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Glaswegian outfit make a hefty profit on his sale.

Danny Rohl makes feelings clear on Emmanuel Fernandez at Rangers

Emmanuel Fernandez started alongside Nasser Djiga at centre-back for the Gers against Celtic in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup quarter-final.

The former Peterborough defender put in a brilliant shift at Ibrox on 8 March, but the Light Blues eventually lost on penalties.

Rohl made the bold call to bring Djiga into the starting lineup in the Old Firm derby, dropping John Souttar to the bench in the process.

It’s clear that the German manager now has complete faith in Fernandez, who has started 16 of the last 18 matches for the Govan side in the William Hill Premiership.

The Glaswegian outfit should be confident of getting an eight-figure sum for the young centre-back who has emerged as an attacking threat, scoring six goals this season.

Speaking on Five Stars VIP on 10 March, Ferguson said, “At this moment in time, £3m looks to be a bargain in my opinion. He’s one that I know the model of the club is trying to buy players and work with them, improve them and then sell them on. He’s certainly one that the club could make good money off in the future.”

Emmanuel Fernandez already knows next club amid Ibrox interest

Borussia Dortmund wanted Fernandez in the winter transfer window, and the Bundesliga outfit may be his next stop in the coming future.

The German club are known for taking young talents and developing them into world-class stars, which will be an attractive prospect for the former Peterborough ace.

While there’s still a lot the centre-back can improve, he’s undoubtedly on the right path at Rangers.

If Rohl can continue to bring the best out of Fernandez at Ibrox, a rare Kevin Thelwell decision could potentially pay off in G51.
