Bordeaux warn off Rangers

Bordeaux have warned Rangers they would have to offer £10m to have any chance of landing Julien Faubert.

Reports claim Walter Smith is ready to table a bid of around £5m for the 23-year-old France midfielder.

But Bordeaux bosses insist they have no intention of selling the player – and say Rangers would need to double their offer even if Faubert was for sale.

Bordeaux chairman Jean-Louis Triaud told the Daily Record: “We have never discussed the transfer of this player with Glasgow Rangers.

“We understand the agent has been very active but we don’t want to sell him.

“But, even if we did agree to sell, £5m would be too low. We do not have a fixed price for him but it would have to be double the kind of money that is being talked about.”
