After weeks of interest, multiple sources have confirmed that AEK Athens have tabled a formal bid for Cyriel Dessers. The Rangers forward has been attracting interest from across the league in recent weeks, with an opening offer marking a clear intent to get the deal done before the market intensifies. But it remains to be seen whether this opening bid will be enough to tempt a move away. Panathinaikos are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. AEK Athens's current 1.2 goals scored per game is close to average. Cyriel Dessers would be seen as someone to make them more dangerous and clinical in the box. Speculation continues to connect Rangers with Bojan Miovski while no fresh rumours surround AEK Athens.
