# Mohamed Diomande Completes Rangers Exit as Çorum Move Confirmed

Mohamed Diomande has officially completed his move from Rangers to Turkish side Arca Çorum FK, bringing the midfielder’s two-and-a-half-year spell in Glasgow to an end.

The confirmation completes a deal that had been building for days.

Read Rangers reported earlier this week that [Çorum were closing in on the midfielder](https://readrangers.com/2026/08/10/mohamed-diomande-turkey-corum-rangers-transfer), after [a reported bid in the region of £4.79m](https://readrangers.com/2026/08/09/diomande-rangers-turkey-offer-bid) landed at Ibrox.

Neither club has officially disclosed a final fee, as is the standard line nowadays, but the figures won’t be far off the mark.

## What Diomande’s exit means for McInnes

Mohamed Diomande arrived in early 2024 and leaves as one of the longer-serving members of a squad transformed over the summer.

On paper anyway.

The Ivorian’s departure makes some space in a crowded midfield pack and hands Derek McInnes funds to keep reshaping his team, given the urgent need.

With Nicolas Raskin’s future also the subject of continued speculation, the make-up of the Rangers midfield come September remains an open question.

For now, supporters will wish Diomande well in Turkey, and watch closely to see how the Gers reinvest.

### Risk with Diomande sale

Some will be surprised that Mohamed Diomande has been allowed to leave now.

Over pre-season and in the three competitive games so far, Diomande has featured heavily.

Now he is gone, and obviously will play no part against [Jagiellonia Bialystok](https://readrangers.com/2026/08/13/rangers-vs-jagiellonia-ibrox-decider-stakes) in the Europa League decider.

The void needs to be filled and collectively his former Rangers teammates need to get the job done to secure progression in Europe.
