Rangers have completed the signing of Kim Min-su from Girona, confirmed by the club on August 27, 2026. This update, published on September 17, 2026, closes out a transfer story that began with reports from Spain in late August. The South Korean forward has signed an initial four-year contract at Ibrox after Rangers triggered his release clause.
Latest update on Kim Min-su transfer
Kim Min-su is now a Rangers player. The club confirmed his arrival on August 27, 2026, ending several days of speculation that started with Spanish reporting a week earlier. He joins as part of Derek McInnes’ ongoing rebuild of the Ibrox squad, a process that has already reshaped the first team since the summer, as detailed in our report on McInnes’ Rangers rebuild.
The move gives Rangers a new attacking option before the closure of the transfer window, and it caps a pursuit that Spanish sources first flagged as serious more than a week before the deal was done.
Initial Spanish reports link attacker to Ibrox
The story first broke through Spanish media. On August 20, 2026, outlet SER Catalunya reported that Rangers were pushing strongly to sign Kim Min-su from Girona.
Journalist Nil Solà went further, describing the strength of Rangers’ pursuit at the time. He said: “Rangers are coming in with a lot of force and it looks like they’re going to take Min-su from Girona FC.”
A Girona member and fan account added weight to the reports that same day, posting on social media: “They tell me it’s done.” Our original coverage from that period, the initial report on Kim Min-su, set out how quickly the interest had developed.
Girona play in La Liga, Spain’s top flight, which underlined the scale of the move Rangers were reported to be chasing.
Rangers complete €10m deal for Kim Min-su
Rangers confirmed on August 27, 2026 that they had triggered Kim Min-su’s release clause, worth €10m (£8.5m), to complete his transfer from Girona.
The forward has signed an initial four-year contract at Ibrox, putting pen to paper before the August window closed. Derek McInnes now has him available as part of the wider squad rebuild.
The fee matches what had been reported from Spain a week earlier, confirming the accuracy of the SER Catalunya story and Nil Solà’s reporting on Rangers’ intentions at the time.
What happens next for Kim Min-su at Ibrox
Kim Min-su has signed and is officially part of the Rangers squad, but the club has not yet confirmed when he will make his debut. His focus now turns to settling into life at Ibrox and training alongside his new teammates.
The Rangers dressing room has put an emphasis on team spirit early in the campaign, including recent squad bonding sessions designed to help new arrivals settle in quickly.
Derek McInnes will decide when Kim Min-su is ready to feature, based on fitness and match sharpness following his move from Spain. Rangers have made no further statement on team selection, and any talk of a starting lineup remains speculation until the club confirms otherwise.
