Loaned by Lens to the Glasgow Rangers a year and a half ago, the Colombian striker Oscar Cortes will definitively engage with the Scottish club. A great financial operation for blood and gold.
Recruited by Lens from the Millonarios Colombian club for 4.5 million euros in July 2023, Oscar Cortes did not really experience the hoped -for success in the Sang et Or. In the space of a year and a half in the North, the 21 -year -old Colombian striker scored only four goals, which had pushed the Lensois leaders to lend it to the Glasgow Rangers in January 2024. Scottish club is starry. This season, he only played 11 games in all competitions, for a total of only 290 minutes.

Suffice to say that if they had the choice, the leaders of Glasgow would not keep the player. Except that it will not happen like this, as the voice of the North teaches us. The media argues that the loan of Oscar Cortes includes an option to purchase that the Scottish club will not have the choice to lift this summer, in the amount of 5.25 million euros, with a contract until 2029. “Bad news for the Scottish, who have not seen it much, a good for Racing” Underline our colleagues from the local daily life, who confirms that if they had been able, the leaders of the Glasgow would have liked to break the agreement concluded with Lens a year and a half ago, returning to France a player too often injured to flourish and explode at the highest level.
But obviously, out of the question for Lens to review the conditions of the agreement negotiated in the past. It is therefore a completely unexpected check of more than 5 million euros that will fall into the coffers of the club of Joseph Oughourlian in the days to come. Excellent news in this transfer window and while every penny counts for French clubs.
